Congratulations! Your enthusiasm is shared and understood. I have had my 673 for about a month, and it has become my most treasured piece. As you know, it is the small details which set it apart. I recently took it away on a trip for 10 days, and it was the only watch I had with me. I truly bonded with it during that time.
The "Special" in this Special Edition really rings true with me. I hope you continue to enjoy it this much. Welcome to Panerai. It is great to see another enthusiast. I have not yet decided on another strap. In the meantime I thoroughly enjoy the excellent Ponte Vecchio that comes with the 673. Part of me wants to get another strap, or perhaps a few. On the other hand, it will be nice to see the Ponte Vecchio gain some patina as it ages. Cheers Carl

I actually had a decent collection of straps but seeing as this is my 1st 47 , they're not usable! Looking now at the ASSOLUTAMENTE for starters :-) They're all nice, Dark brown, black and brown/beige. Saw them at the Palm Beach boutique and they're lovely! I'm a huge fan of OEM straps !!

The strap is gorgeous and yes, it should patina REALLY nicely over time. looking at the ASSOLUTAMENTE straps now actually - I saw a few of them while visiting the Palm Beach boutique and they just work with this piece (and the 372/422) .. I have nothing against aftermarket but there's nothing quite like the OEM straps IMHO - glad that Panerai is focusing more in that area and Pontroué seems to want to continue to do so

Sorry, I don't intend to hijack your thread, but thought this pic illustrates well how the PV strap is wearing in a few short weeks. I ended up gluing the loose keeper under the strap, as it kept sliding around, now it fits perfectly. When I was first interested in Panerai, I thought the Radiomir would be my favorite. I don't know how this 673 Luminor took that spot, and it is the biggest watch I have ever owned. I wore another watch yesterday, but this one is back on my wrist today. Looking forward to seeing what other OEM you might choose. I am fortunate to have a Boutique here in Vancouver. The manager there is great, and she keeps a great stock of straps, as well as getting her hands on a lot of SE models. The Boutique has only been opened a year, but it is incredibly successful. It is now the only source for Panerai in the area. No ADs any more. Cheers, Carl

Agree with everything regarding OEM - I just like everything about them (and how they taper down to 22 at the buckle) You're fortunate to have the Boutique there- I really enjoyed my Palm beach boutique visit. The manager was really cool and he took all the time in the world to chat as he pulled one strap out after another for me to see! Of course that could be very dangerous too $$$ I'll be sure to post when I get something new !! Paul
