Orange is the new strap
As per the title, I wanted to see how my 176 would look with an orange rubber strap so I bought one from zuludiver when they had a sale.

Even in the dark () one can see that's a nice and pretty flashy combo.
I've thought of getting an orange or red strap to spice things up. |

Yes, unfortunately my local Panerai dealer didn't have any orange straps in stock so I ordered one... The strap from zuludiver is fine considering I paid 3 UKP for it. I had to make a jig resembling my wrist and boil it into shape to make it wearable though.
I have also thought about getting a red strap too. Oh, the buckle is also aftermarket, titanium, from some ebay seller in Germany, it cost more than the strap and is really nice. |

There's something about orange straps. John Glance has Teju lizard skins in 'Emergency Orange' and I cannot shake the idea of getting one on my 737.
I know, green and orange, ew, but I can't help thinking it'll be so wrong that it'll be awesome.

Great summer strap, although I much prefer NATO to rubber
