This is SPARTA! Sorry, I couldn't resist. My wife does think that I am out of my mind. Am I the only one?

The Watches

The Straps

nauticajoe · 12 May 2011, 12:16 PM

Nice collection!

usbzoso · 12 May 2011, 12:19 PM

nice collectoin and your wife is correct haha ... these pictures is exactly the reason i stay away from Panerai and stick with Rolex lol

dddrees · 12 May 2011, 12:21 PM

Very nice.

Out of your mind, is so relative anyway.

If you hang out here long enough, you'll find your fairly normal actually.

mfer · 12 May 2011, 01:01 PM

Yes.....gone.......you need at least two more brown ammos!

Cru Jones · 12 May 2011, 06:59 PM

sorry, you cannot be saved......

Fearsome Puppy · 12 May 2011, 11:48 PM

Hmmm, Let me guess your favourite colour for straps....

TopNotchChach · 13 May 2011, 12:25 AM

Nice collection.

I would need some variety in the straps though.

SaddleSC · 13 May 2011, 12:35 AM

That is one of the most awesome collections of straps that I have ever seen! I am just starting to buy straps and it can be difficult to find the perfect color, texture, feel. I think the best strategy is what you appear to have done...just buy them ALL and ask questions later.

L-16610 · 13 May 2011, 02:40 AM

Listen to the wife, she's right :-)
But I would love to have these watches and straps too LOL

jvo300 · 13 May 2011, 04:35 AM

Haha! Thanks for the comments. I do love me an ammo strap! My top five strap makers based upon this vast experience:

1. OEM
2. Micah
3. ABP
4. Wotancraft
5. Dirk

tkc324 · 13 May 2011, 04:44 AM

Whoa... nice strap collection... must like brown a lot huh?

coopster9 · 13 May 2011, 08:54 AM

I agree with you on the OEM and Micah. Where would you put GSD (Greg Stevens) on that list? I have heard he makes some pretty amazing stuff.

Speed · 13 May 2011, 01:11 PM

You need some black straps!!!

leeye · 13 May 2011, 01:26 PM

hmmm.............i would have to disagree with your wife, you are perfectly sane to me. there are much more crazy collectors out there. hahahaha

kilyung · 13 May 2011, 01:40 PM

Been there. I really does become an addiction.

skyedog · 13 May 2011, 01:44 PM

Nice Collection!! drooling on your 3646

seems like you have way more brown straps........

leeye · 13 May 2011, 02:24 PM

well this is what i tell my other half, "isn't it better for me to collect watches and straps or you rather have me collecting exoctic women instead???"

GBJIV · 13 May 2011, 03:44 PM

My wife is saying the same thing to me... Nice collection of both.

Chye · 13 May 2011, 07:45 PM

Not too sure what the issue is?

I think you need more brown/tan straps! Hahahah...

Fav strap makers? For exotic skins - ABP, K.Wong and Simona, and for leather straps - Dirk, Simona

I've never owned a Kev/Adeeos. I guess his straps always seemed too expensive relative to other makers. Maybe it's worth it? You'll have to give us a review when yours comes in!

drockadam · 13 May 2011, 09:59 PM

Look at all those beautiful straps!

I love GSD Crazy Horse II. Everything else is just okay to me. So I'd put him at #6 on my list.

I have a black/black gator, black/ecru gator, and rubber accordion strap. I guess I could add a black leather.

mocheen · 17 May 2011, 11:07 AM

My wife was laughing at me for looking at purchasing another Panerai. She says they all look the same except for the seconds hand and date functions. She said why not just buy the 104 or 312 it has everything you need and be done with it? She is pretty good about not complaining about me buying watches. In fact she is the one that started me on collecting watches. She went with me to pick up my submariner this weekend. I am very fortunate that she supports my hobbies.

fstnlgl · 17 May 2011, 03:30 PM

Hell of a challenge to buy enough watches to fit all of the straps!!! Great collection of straps and outstanding collection of watches.
