Pam's metal rubber and leather

Guys

I never see any TRF memebers posting their Pam pics with a metal bracelet. I am not that clued up on Panerai's but I am guessing that most owners prefer leather and rubber
Does anyone prefer the metal option instead?

No other brand has that many great options on straps

I have a 328 and I like the option of switching between the bracelet and the unlimited number of straps. The bracelet is quite comfy and provides a nice touch to the watch.

Paul, I bought my new PAM with the metal bracelet just to have the choice as they're so easy to swap. I prefer the leather straps though

Thanks Nathan

I quite like the metal bracelet posted by benwah, but I never see them in the WRUW threads. You Panerai guys are so fickle, swapping straps more often than my wife swaps handbags

I don't really like the feel of the Steel Panerai straps.

Agreed, nor do I care for the look but to each his own. If the bracelet is of interest you are far better off to buy it on the front-end rather than spending the extra cash to source one as an after-thought. You can get many very nice straps for the cost of the bracelet.

Straps for me without a doubt, had a 297 on bracelet of course and it just did not feel like a Pam... Also, it is HEAVY on that bracelet

I bought the 328 with a bracelet just to have the option. Its a nice change up from time to time but with so many strap options I tend to stick to leather. If I want a watch thats meant to be worn on a bracelet I wear a rolex.

i had tried a 329 gmt with bracelet and it was very comfortable, the weight and feel of the watch also increases with the bracelet and it looks different than all the leather one pams
