Okay, I need to find the nearest chapter of Panerai Straps Annonymous. Wow, I have a problem... I just do.

Hi, I'm Jackson and I can't stop wanting straps for my 177 and two new incoming pieces...

I know I should be asleep right now at 12:23 and I have plenty of straps but, I can't stop.

I need a 12 step program.

Step 1 - turn off the computer and go to bed...

Step 2 - Stop looking at Posts by Niels and others here on TRF and other sites...

Step 3 - Just stop.... It's a recession - save money. Stop...

I don't think this is stoppable. 2004 to Thanksgiving 2008 zero straps purchased - Thanksgiving 2008 to present... I have bought a lot of straps... I must be losing it!!!!

I know I can bring this problem to you my TRF friends... Thanks for reading.
........

Good night...

Step 6 . switch off now and do not check the Pic below of the Simona Honey Gator with contrasting stitch that just got picked up from the mail..

i feel your pain, my wife is already looking for a cardboard box for me to stay in if i buy anything soon again ... (so im looking for a warm spot, perhaps the local train station, admit it where lost..

)

GBJIV · 15 February 2009, 07:25 AM

WOW! That is gorgeous.... I bought a "darker Simona gator this week and also a Ted Su "Golden"... Like yours.... Niels... I am glad you live in Siberia.... If we were pals in the same town - I would be in even bigger trouble...
Niels - what size is the Simona.... Wow, that's gorgeous...

Tuisquash... 15 straps? Wow, I finally did get the Black Horween GSD. It is on my 177 right now. I love it. What a great quality strap....

GBJIV · 15 February 2009, 07:27 AM

Tuisquash... what straps do you have now...?

Nica64 · 15 February 2009, 07:34 AM

Jackson, please don't feel bad

I know what you're talking about, before Dec 08 no Pam.... after Dec-Jan 08 one Pam 104... no straps.... since Jan 08 four straps and looking for two more

...... and already looking for a Pam 24 for me and a Pam 113 white dial for the wife.

Don't feel bad..... is not only you!!!

J-F your picks have just delayed any hope for near term recovery with my PSA syndrom!

I like the Catlain series... And that strap is a good reprodcution of the vintage strap in the book. His 127 is gorgeous!

What to do....

I am going to paint a sign and stand on the road "Will work for Panerai Straps" that will complete my admission to the nut house!

Okay, more confessions... I said right here on this forum that I was not a fan of the PAM Subs. Particularly the 24. Now - I really really like it. I have completely changed my thought on it... I almost bought my neighbors 113 - it does look good on the wrist!

I am going to post strap pics this week....!

THAT IS SO GORGEOUS. Can't stop lookint at it. Because of you - I bought the Ted Su... He should pay you some sort of commission? or discount... on another....

GBJIV, did you like the look and the comfy? i'm talking about horween.
please put some pics.

clew84 · 16 February 2009, 12:02 AM

I've got my 024 on a GSD Horween with black stitching. Going to take some pics and will post them. For my money, GSD and Delaurian are the best straps out there and I am looking forward to buying a couple more for the 024. I love this watch.

The Horween is black white stitch... I have to say - it is a pretty amazing feel and it looks great. I have actually received compliments on it.

I will take some pics of it... In fact, I will work on that right now. See how I do!

I owe the forum some pics...

Would love to see pics of that strap (Same as mine) on the 24) Although... it is dangerous...

BTW, any pics of the Delaurian. I have tried to contact him for info - no luck.

GBJIV · 16 February 2009, 09:10 AM

Concur. Simona did a gator strap for me that came out really great. Sadly, I misplaced half of it. I have no idea where it went, but I take solace knowing it's somewhere in the bedroom so not really "lost" for good. Oh well, I still have 9 others to chose from.

Check out the Katkus straps too. Have three, all top quality.

Yes, in the original color and the Hemingway (darker brown). He also made me one from a 1940 map case.

GBJIV · 17 February 2009, 06:28 AM

I have been considering the Zeugma strap case he has on his website. Looks pretty cool. Probably beats the tupperware I am carrying my straps in now...

Or my quart ziplock bag

Here are a few pics of his straps. In the pic with many straps, the one on the watch and the two to the right are Katkus straps.
