Have just bought this but am not so sure. Any opinions would be grateful. My bro says it doesn't suit the watch. What does the forum reckon??? Is it a yes or a no.

Looks like a fun summer or weekend sports strap! Variety is good! How is the quality, is it natural rubber or silicone?

If the buckle is removable I'd prefer adding a Pre-V

The beauty of Panerai is the ability to give the watch any look you want. So if you like it, then why not? That orange strap looks like a great weekend or summer strap.

I personally prefer the OEM rubber strap. I was hung up on leather for the first 5 months of owning my 233 before I decided to throw it on the OEM rubber strap. Now its one my of favorite options and super comfortable.

Nice summer/vacation strap, although not crazy about the buckle.

It is a strap from bonetto cinturini. I think it is natural rubber. They are supposed to make good quality rubber straps. I also have the Rubber B for my Deepsea although must admit i do like the bracelet on the deepsea and it is a bit harder to change. My Victorinox inox has a very nice rubber strap which fits great and feels comfortable on the wrist

U don't like the OEM accordion?

Bucky · 18 October 2015, 06:39 AM

Yes i do like the OEM accordion but i feel that is better on a submersible like the 305. This was also alot cheaper than the OEM. To be honest i have a feeling i might just send this one back as it is not ticking all the boxes for me.

love it old style rubber is what i wear on all my pams except the 372. Not into the accordion, did not like it on my 243. The orange rubber looks great also

Can you post a pic of the 233 on the accordion style rubber from the 305? I've never seen that.

Bucky · 27 October 2015, 03:29 AM

I do not own the accordion i am afraid. Only the oem rubber that comes with the 233

I suppose I will be the contrarian, but that strap doesn't appear to me to be worthy to be on such a nice time piece. It cheapens your great watch.

Bucky · 29 October 2015, 04:45 AM

I agree with you DR.Golf. I sent the strap back as it just didn't feel right and i didn't like the fact that i could not put tubes in the strap holes.
Thanks for peoples comments. Am waiting on a green canvas strap from timeconnections so will post that up when it arrives
