Crazy Horse strap
I had ordered this Crazy Horse strap from Greg Stevens 2 weeks ago.
This was my first Paypal purchase, everything went fine, after the delay in setting up my account. It arrived thursday night. The first night, I was a bit unsure of the thickness of the strap & how the buckle lay on the strap. But after a days wearing , it was broken in great ![]() Extremely comfortable strap. I went with a 80mm x 125 mm. Next one might be the darker brown and go a bit shorter. I don't think the OEM strap will be back on for quite a while now ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

One of my favorite straps that only gets better ad better with time mate!! Looks super on the Fiver, but can you imagine how great that would look on a BASE Logo?

Bloody 'ell - that's the John Holmes of straps!
![]() Really nice and I've only heard good things about Greg's CH straps. How are you doing with straps for your 98, John? It's one of my all-time favourite Panerai. The OEM gator looks great but can/have you bought 3rd party straps for the Radiomir? |

I have not bought any other straps for the 98 yet.
I might try this CH on it later. Will post some pics if I do. While in TO, the AD had a Base Logo in stock. I had to pass on it, but I still have mine on order with my local. My wife really likes the CH also. I might just end up ordering another CH ( not sure if I will go white or brown stiching). She has the 219, currently only has a dark brown gator. Greg also has a nice looking black with white stich that has caught my eye.

I just sent Greg an email, thanking him for the quick delivery of his strap & mentioned about TRF.
He asked about the forum & I invited him to come & check us out.

The strap is 4 mm, so where the keeper is, it is close to 16 mm.
I only have a couple long sleeve shirts that even accomodate a Pan on a regualr strap. I did have a jacket on last night, that worked. Luckily I can wear SS Shirts to work.

Looks great John. NOthing but good things are said about the CH.
Not sure I like it on the 98, personally, though. To me that's more a gator-all-the-way type watch. It would look yummy on a black gator with white stitch, really dress it up purdy! |

Greg's straps are Dynamite!!
Hey Launch,
The strap is a perfect match for the Fiver as well as your awaited Logo. I am not sure why I have yet to pull the trigger on 1, but it is something I should be doing very shortly. Mixed on the looks of the 98 with the CH..agree the OEM strap is a match made in heaven. (i have been dreaming about the PAM 98) ever since I was able to try yours on. Congrats on the strap! Carlo |
