Bracelet Question

Can any 44mm Luminor style Panerai accept the Panerai bracelet? I am very new to Panerai's and still a bit overwhelmed with all the different versions and am still trying to memorize the model numbers and sizes, so please excuse me if I get something wrong!

I am really starting to appreciate the panerais, and i have always dismissed them in the past because I didnt like the styling. But the sandwich dials are so cool!

Thanks!

I'm not a fan of the bracelets but correct me if I am wrong.

Not all Luminors can take the OEM bracelets directly. They'll need a pair of adaptors which I saw on sale from time to time. They are not offered by Panerai though.


Third party bracelets are designed for a direct fit, that's what I've heard.

Despite the Panerai bracelets being very nice,I feel ....... Panerai = LEATHER STRAPS !!!!!!!

We leave the "counting of the scratches on the bracelets" for "the other side" !!

I beg to differ regarding the bracelet. I am over the moon regarding the old style bracelet. My favorite knock around watch is my 236? (251) on a bracelet. It is cannot be beat as a daily wearer. My understanding is that regarding the old style bracelet requires micro adapters and for most models j to present can use the new bracelet without adapters. I also am just not into the strap thing. I tend to just swap out watches but I do have an affinity for the bracelet.

Beside you are right...I dont see a rubber strap on your 183 or your 232!!! I think they dont even come with a rubber strap in the box!
