Pam 1389. Bigger factory strap?

Just tried one on. 2nd to last hole. Can’t even use the keepers.
Does anyone know if they make a bigger strap ? I like the rubber one that comes on it a lot.

OEM Panerai strap will be costly. I suggest just do a custom strap. Maybe try with rubber strap see if that fits you better.

If you go on the Panerai website, under "accessories - bracelets and straps - search straps" there is a sub category for "strap size". Seems like the standard one is "standard" and you would need "xl". Looks as though there are not as many available in the XL category, though.
Did you try it on at a Boutique or AD? They have a huge selection at the local Boutique. Matter of fact, when I do purchase, they give me an option to choose a different strap before I take the watch. I am sure they will either supply you with a larger strap or order you a longer one if it's not in stock. The straps are quite pricey, so it would be a shame to get the watch then order an additional strap later.

The OEM rubber that comes with the 1389 is the "standard" size ... 125/75

I was told by the staff at the Panerai NYC boutique that the XL size is 125/95
