New JV from Panerai boutique Milan
Was in Milan and stopped in the Panerai boutique. Ended up replacing my unwearable JV.
Since it's the holiday season, they gave my wife and I two mini panettone to eat |

No I don't and its in storage. It became very, very dark and matted while the space between each scale remained light in color... rather unsightly IMO.
The boutiques in Florence and Milan have warned me that the JV strap is really considered to be a exhibition strap and isn't a wearable strap like the others. I know its a pain to keep clean and has a high potential of looking like crap again but I will rotate this one a lot more than the last one. |

That's what I thought when I got mine (just today). I'll only wear it for special occasions.

"Exhibition strap"? Well, to each his own. I think the JV looks at its best with patina, but, I suppose it has to be the "right" patina.
Congrats on the strap! |

I agree. I think it looks better with patina vs new. I just can't seem to get any wear on mine quickly enough.

I completely agree that it looks best with the "right" patina. Mfer's pic in the other JV thread looks perfect...Unfortunately, mine ended up looking like I dunk mine in old motor oil.

i'm new to the panerai world, so i'm still looking for my first pam...but after weeks of researching, as well as prematurely looking at strap options :), the JV strap looks amazing! it's definitely on my wish list as soon as i get my watch.
