Panerai rubber straps

[Fredrik]

I am in the market for a Panerai rubber strap and noticed that there are a few sellers with prices that seem way too low.

Is it safe to assume that any Panerai marked strap with a too good to be true price is counterfeit?

Here is an example:

Yes, there are plenty of them around.

So, shouldn't they be reported and removed?

You can find them in many shops throughout South East Asia.
I assume the cheap ones on EBay are not the real deal, probably from the same supplier.
Smell and rubber texture is different from the original, at least on the ones I have seen in Malaysia.

If you are looking for the tool look there are plenty options online, If it's inexpensive its probably cheap silicone and you want to stay away from that. It can brake and you risk the watch falling off. Rubber B has a curved end strap but it's not inexpensive. Probably the best quality you can get. Same quality as OEM in my opinion. Good Luck

I will probably just buy one from my local Panerai retailer then, I do not want to get burned and it's not that much.
