Steel on Steel

Thought I'd try my Panerai bracelet on the 359. Went on like a charm and a great endlink fit.

Bit of a contrast between the polished case and brushed bracelet, but the brushed crown protector does give a bit of a contrast.

Pam bracelets are among the best I've worn and the combination of half and whole links gives a great fit.

Very nice. Are you concerned the endlinks will scratch the case? There is a lot of visible polished case between the lugs when straps are on.

Great look though!

I've had it on for a few days and no ill effects. This is the new style bracelet. The endlinks match perfectly with the case and lug holes.

Very cool Mike. What about the weight? I remember trying on the small 51 (40mm) and it felt like it weight a metric ton. But I'm the kind of guy that thinks my IIc is heavy.

Yep. You know it's there, but the bracelet balances the head of the watch so well it's really a comfortable fit.
