Found this pic in a f/s ad, it is a for a pre vendome model....
Im curious about the strap, i like it, can anyone enlighten me?

I like the thinness of the leather, the stitching and the finished edge.

Ok
How about has anyone ever seen other straps made with the thinner profile as pictured?

Or if you have no idea....

Do you guys think the strap is nice, or am i alone?

Hi Mik, thanks for info, Coincidentally Dirk has a very similar pic on their site...what do you think?

I've seen some of his sharks. They are thin like that.

I believe his older stuff is thinner than new. You can order custom with Dirk (ask for thinner), just costs more.

Could be an original strap that the watch came with.

Signed buckle and appears to be Panerai on the inside of the strap

I suspect it may be an original strap too

Wondering if any of the many strap manufacturers have tried and been successful at duplicating its qualities?

nice strap!

kind of reminds me of the ted su french ammo, although the one in the picture looks like better quality.

Going to try out a MP, seems to be the vintage line they have is similar...
it should be here in a couple of days...

I have a Kaktus / Frantzen nubuck on my 338 that is pretty thin, similar to OEM.

That is true. TC once sent me the wrong strap .... It was one if the vintage collection but the wrong width for my 372 else i would have kept it.

Which one did you order?

Im actually remembering the oem strap that came with the 232 fit the bill!
But it only comes in 26mm

its nice & thin with a sewn in buckle, very historic

Friedl41 · 19 December 2013, 08:29 AM
