Panerai straps is it just me?

All my Panerai factory straps are small and the simple task of buying
replacements seems confusing. From the sizing names and sizes to the tapered buckles or non tapered and the same as the lugs etc? Seems like there should be an easier way.

Same for you all?

Could see this being confusing at times, they certainly dont make things easy with myriad of tapered straps that go with an increasing number of case sizes.

My thing with panerai straps is the perfect fitment for me is always in between the holes.

The website is dreadful, but I’m a standard size for OEM so no problem, and like a taper on them.

There was a learning curve when i started getting into straps.

the OEM never fit me right.

there are so many strap makers out there with their own measurements and materials, so their fit wouldnt be the same

also consider your own fit preferences.

good luck!

Yes. This is what I’m trying to avoid learning by practice.

Some also look terribly thick like a clydesdale saddle. Unreal.

If you’re anywhere near a boutique, they stock most strap options in different sizes, (at least here they do). Highly recommend visiting even if it’s a bit of a drive

I visit the boutiques often (rich person here) and they always say they get when and whatever is sent. Their supply selection sucks. I’m heading to Italy to pick horses for my personal shell cordovan line next week.

I need a hide for some boots, please ask for some horse butt. I'll transfer you the funds.

Thank you my friend

A few years ago, I decided I wanted a new look, something edgy but also age appropriate.

I landed on the world of heritage clothing. Vintage inspired shirts, jackets, boots and selvedge denim. I think it works for me and I really like a lot of the brands design and manufacturing ethos.

Viberg is one of my favourite boot brands and glad to support a 3rd generation, small Canadian crafter

Looking good, Brian, looking good

I never thought I'd like the look of selvedge denim on me until Mrs Van D bought me a pair of motorcycle specific jeans in very dark denim. I rode to work this morning so have them on now.

I have a couple of pairs of Frye harness boots. I'm thinking they'd look pretty cool with those jeans of yours, too.

There's always the custom route, CJ. There's a lot of choice, as I'm sure you've read on here. I've only ever used Dangerous9 and I can't recommend him highly enough. John is a genius.

Thank you brother

Selvedge denim is almost as big a rabbit hole as watches

I'm staying well away from that, brother!

I've moved away from denim of late. I've been rooted in 501s for decades and I'm finding they're too tight on the thighs these days (I sandbag in the gym on leg day because of the issues with my back. I then found a decent PT who showed me how to batter my legs without needing to squat so they've now, finally, started growing. Only about 40 years too late but never mind ). I'm wearing cargo pants more and more often, way more comfortable

Thank you, Nick. I've been away far too long, life keeps getting in the way.

It doesn't get any easier with age, my friend, but I'm still kicking it in the gym six days a week

Easy Peasy.

You will want XL versions. 125mm x 95mm. used to be 115 x 95mm but no more.




Luminor

44MM Case = 24mm x 22mm Pin Buckle

47MM Case = 26MM x 26mm Pin Buckle or 26mm x 22mm Pin Buckle

Radiomir Can either be 26mm or 27mm x 22mm Pin Buckle

Déployant straps are all 22mm buckle end

There are some 24mm x 24mm straps with sewn in buckles.
