I love battered old leather straps but I fear you need a batterd old sub to match it up to.

I have put a few leather straps on my sub and have always been unsure if they look good or not.

Also I have always felt that panerai straps are far too bulky looking.

Here is my attempt.....

I wonder why most people don't like rolex with leather strap. To me they still look beautiful.

It's a Heroic 18 strap...you can find some Panerai straps @ the Panerai Sub Section here.

Lugholes are perfect for strap changing!

Thanks, hunz!

The black buffalo was found at IWW. Very nice quality and very inexpensive. It's thin enough to use w/ an SEL case. The blue suede on the snowflake was found on ebay and although thicker it works as well because the non SEL cases have a bit more space between the lug holes and case.

jamski · 5 May 2011, 11:06 PM

Do "SEL" cases refer to the 4 visible "lug" holes on the ends where the strap attaches? I'm still a little confused about this term and what it relates to.

Perhaps I can see an example of a SEL and a non-SEL case?

EDIT: Nevermind. I found an example:

I checked IWW site http://www.industrialwatchworks.com/

but doesn't seem to list any straps. perhaps they stopped making/selling them?

my 14060M has non-SEL but still only 1.5mm gap so still pretty tight. how thick is you buffalo strap btw?
