Hi guys. I had this strap on order for a few months and finally it's arrived.

Here are some pics for sharing. Sorry but the lighting is not so good so the colors dont come out very true.

htc8p · 6 December 2011, 12:32 PM

looks very vintage. i like it. is it tapering? and is it as hard as the oem calf strap?

cruvon · 6 December 2011, 03:13 PM

Awesome strap, where from?

sea-dweller · 6 December 2011, 03:13 PM

Nice!

bcacncnc · 6 December 2011, 04:18 PM

Thanks guys. For those who may not know, its called the "assolutemente" strap and its an OEM strap from Panerai. Cost in HKD was $1480 -- approx $190USD. It has a lot of character - ie. if you bend it, it will turn a lighter shade.... so much like the JV strap - I think it will develop a patina over time. Its stiffer than I would prefer - much like the stiffness in the standard calf strap that came with the 000. Also I can't tell what type of leather it is, but feels quite tough despite it suede-like appearance of softness.

Yes. Tapers to 22mm. And yeah, a little stiff like the OEM calf strap.
