Oh... now I get it......
So I'm mainly a Rolex guy. Fairly obvious since I'm here on TRF I suppose. I've had a couple of Omegas but generally Rolex is what floats my boat.
Well I recently became Panerai-curious. It felt a little dirty but I liked it. Haha. Anyway, this arrived today and wow, it's beautiful. No pictures seem to do these justice. It is just stunning in person. Strap is very stiff but I guess if I only wear this watch for the next month or so that should take care of itself!

Congratulations from a convert. When you do get it, you get it! OEM Straps do soften, but then you could look at the 4000 strap makers!!

LOL - probably have twice as many straps as this now....
As opposed to 312 look at something manual as a future partner.

Nice!
I've owned four Pams in the past, great watches and very fun to play around with straps.

Welcome to the Dark Side. Be warned, now you've got your first one it's a slippery slope to the next.
You need to be especially aware of that naughty Mr. Jones (our Panerai Enabler-in-Chief) and his principal henchman Nick. If Nick posts THAT picture, you'll be on your way to the boutique for a 372 before you know what day it is

Here's one of Alfio's (Bakeka) straps. They get even better with age.
