JJ Irani · 7 June 2006, 05:15 AM

Very beautiful!! But then you know that I do have a very soft corner for BLUE!

AJC · 7 June 2006, 05:19 AM

Hey John,

.Although it concerns me that Panny strap fever has taken hold so early.

There's nothing wrong with being gratuitous! :) :)

It suits the watch well - Panerai do make a lovely dark blue gator strap BUT it's very expensive and sometimes it is just too dark so it looks black-blue. You normally get it with the titanium power reserve or GMT.

Once you attend a Panerai get-together you'll have a chance of trying different strap combinations. I still think Don is the best value although Dirk was always my favourite strap.

That is one really nice looking strap.
I had visuallized something lighter, that is perfect.

Don has a great selection and because he's in Canada, no crazy excise. I just wish he'd accept paypal on Canuck orders. We have to send him a M/O or cheque via snail mail.

Now Shane.. by Dirk do you mean Dirk in Belgium or TC Dirk?

Never mind.. I know.

It's actually lighter in natural light, so your visualization is prolly bang on. But, I can always get some baseball glove oil and darken it a bit.

ps. does that tiny little buckle really work???

I don't know... I don't actually wear my watches. Think I'm crazy or something?

Rodentman · 7 June 2006, 06:31 AM

The big Pannies always seem to go well with ANY strap. Not sure quite why, but I think it's true. Baseball glove erl. My favorite for darkening a strap!

You have become a very sick individual. First you dive into Pannies as though there is nothing else in the world. Then you get this strap fetish about them. But you can't leave well enough alone. You get a new strap and immediately have to doctor it up. I really think you need to up your meds dosage considerably, John. I'm going nuts just trying to keep up with you.

Launch Mini · 7 June 2006, 11:56 AM

It's like being the a trance over a beautiful women.
Set your sights, reel her in, then spend your $$ keeping her all dressed up.

dman · 7 June 2006, 01:46 PM

I really like it J!!

On the contemporary straps, the thumbnail is best, but don't underestimate the PreV style on the historics.

padi56 · 7 June 2006, 06:41 PM

Its Ok but prefer a tan or black myself Daren watch out another leather
fetish guy.

Ed, maybe you should get your dosage upped to keep up with ME.

I hear Lance Armstrong knows a good pharmacologist.

Of course.

Although I must admit, my pedestrian tastes prefer croc to sharkskin.

Me too, but I was trying to get into the summer mood.

It was a 199 degrees out though so my summer mood kept me inside most of the day.

That blue strap is nice, Daren....love it!
