For comparison, here are a couple of photos of my Panerai with what I think are similar angles. The straps in the pics aren't particularly thick, either.

Anyway, just my opinion. Reasonable minds can differ.








Very nice Pam 164! I traded mine in for credit towards my wife’s anniversary Rolex. Wasn’t getting much wrist time but sure was an awesome piece and do miss it from time to time.

Still has a gap, but maybe it’s the angle but not as much. (Sorry, fairly poor photos)

Awesome thread - thanks for taking the pictures and uploading them. I am thinking about an aftermarket strap to compliment the bracelet and love the look of your grey antelope. Can you show us what the buckle looks like? Would also be grateful for a link to the seller - I think a Navy version would be right up my street.

Cheers!

bought all 3 of my straps from

https://www.watchobsession.co.uk/]

all are Hirsch straps - brown white stitch, grey antelope and blue white stitch with curved ends

the grey antelope was the dearest but I am about £150 in for all 3 and they are all very good quality straps


you can order the type and colour of clasp to suit your tastes as well


they have been very good in my dealings with them

Thank you Tim - very helpful. WO has now been bookmarked! Might give them a call to see what Navy options I can find...

I'm thinking of putting a Black Bay diver bracelet onto my newly bought GMT. I bought it on the nato as I don't really like the faux riveted bracelet plus the fact that I was quoted 6-9 months wait.

My question is does the Standard Black Bay diver bracelet fit on the GMT?

Agree, that is the one that caught my eye

It's also the closest one to the OEM brown leather strap, so that may have something to do with it too
