New shoes from Rios for my 1312.

Wanted to try something apart from the OEM Panerai straps. This dark brown “vintage” from Rios is nice, thick and comfortable. Surprisingly soft and supple for something this thick.

Rios can't be beat for the quality/price combo, IMO

Thank you , I’m away for a few days. Will take a shot of the buckle the moment I get back. I used the original PAM W buckle. Is there any other alternative which you would recommend?

Agreed Adam. I love Rios leather for my watches. Tried other brands and didn’t like them.
