Two of the my favourite straps!!

The vintage tan goes well with all Pams. The Vachetta has unique grain/textures.


Congrats and take good care of them. These are two very sought after straps.

Chris, what is your wrist size? I have a 7" wrist and just picked up a 150/90 strap. I am curious as to how much tail it will have.

Do you have a wrist shot?

My wrist is 19.5cm,thats just under 8 inches(We breed big down here ....... ,not down under,thats a different country.)

On the Simona 150/90s I wear it on the third hole from the lug end.At 7 inches the hole closest to the lug should be perfect for you.Will have "nice tail"

Wrist shots on threads ... "Vachetta Anticata" and " A Darker Shade of Simona".

I have several threads dedicated to the 231 on this forum.Have a look at "Base Rosegold"...or something like that.

The 231 is just awesome !! The least expensive route into Panerai rosegold magic !!!
