Hopefully hitting the boutique tonight. Perfect watch, wear it by the pool then switch straps for later.

Stopped by the bal harbor boutique tried on this beauty. Didn't purchase but bought another strap for my 1320. To be honest even if I was in the market I wouldn't of bought it from him. I love the watch but the hand painted blue on the metal will eventually come off presumably. Also I needed another tool to change my straps my tip broke and the guy said that they had none. I wanted to buy it. Wasn't looking for free. That alone would of put me off from that sale of a 13000 plus watch. It's a boutique and you mean they don't have an extra piece of plastic to change straps. Any ways here some pic

If you are referring to the blue in the pushers, I wouldn’t worry. I have a 526 and the orange in the pusher is just as new five years later! I agree with you that this is terrible form from the boutique! Actually really idiotic! And if they really didn’t have any extras, they should have mailed you one!

I spent $600 on straps there 2 weeks ago and asked for a baseball cap, I would have paid for it. Mine just flew off on a boat the day before, and no they did not have , and did not send me one.

Mission accomplished went to boutique in Miami art district. Service was absolutely fantastic. More then accommodating. Bought another buckle and they gave me my replacement strap changer part before I even mentioned a purchase. I will be going there for sure for my next panerai. I really find it hard to believe the guy at bal Harbor didn't have one to give me. Anyways it all worked out

I’ve never changed my strap with the supplied tool,usually I use 2 toothpicks to fiddle with my watches with that quick change/release system
