Another new strap!!

First of all let me say a BIG THANK YOU to Joe (JF23). Much has been said about the comraderie among panerasti.

Such a wonderful community to be a part of and Joe typifies all that is best of PANERAI enthusiasts. Shortly after I posted my new 88, Joe so very kindly offered to send me an English leather strap.

I received the strap AND a beautiful extra buckle today and immediately put it on the watch. What a comfortable strap!! The leather is softer than the calfskin strap that came with the watch and a tad thicker giving it such presence.

Some quick and dirty pics of my new baby.







This one will be a treasured one in my budding strap collection.

The quality of leather and stitching looks outstanding.

Awesome stuff Joe

The thicker leather really looks terrific and I feel adds to the balance of the watch on ones wrist.

I agree. Paneristi a a good bunch. Also the thicker leather does add a ton of balance to a big watch. Welcome to the madness!!!!!

Very nice, didn't know you liked Pams. Since you'll need to make some room in your safe, I'll take a vintage ND SD off your hands.
