I'm tired of the wife always wearing the same strap!!!!
Always wears this combo. Its great, but come on, its a Panerai????

Her current combo...


I can never convince her of any other strap I've shown outside the powder blue OEM gator, but I know she loves LV, so I found a great compliment to the white dialed 49...







Hopefully she'll like it once she has time to wear it, but as a backup, I got her a new bag as well!!!

Hermes Barenia straps are very well made, though they don't keep their colour all that well if worn every day. Unless it is black of course.
My wife wears a mans Hermes Cape Cod Auto, it arrived three years ago and I gave it to her because she liked it.
That strap looks knackered now. Of course it is me who has to buy the replacement strap. Her logic; how can a strap cost that much?

No, I've never mentioned a (price) word about my PAM OEM straps and buckles, aftermarket straps, etc. which arrive on a steady, continual basis.

cheers

I'm working on it. She isn't as passionate about taking wrist shots as I am!

She LOVES LV. I don't know how many purses she's up to, definitely more than my watches. She even has other nice purses and wallets like Prada, Chanel, etc, but she always comes back to LV. Kind of like me and Panerai it seems!

a tan LV strap (minus the LV logos) would be nice.
