Dilemma. New pick up but no straps

Not sure if this has been discussed already. Searched but to no avail.

Recently picked up a 683 and while i love the watch, im having a real hard time finding a strap for it.
I feel like the black bezel makes it a bit more sporty and seems awkward dressing it up?

Any recommendations?

While I love them PAMs...there is no way to “dress it up”. It has always, IMHO, been a sporty, rugged and very tough watch. I love the rubber strap that comes with the watch. And I have also seen, and I think it looks great, a RubberB strap. Yours with a black bezel will go great with the original rubber or something vintage or distressed looking. Here is what I mean...

The 683 is a Submersible correct? There's really no way to dress that model up. I would just stick with the OEM rubber straps or a calf skin black leather. Other Panerai are a little more versatile like Radiomirs and Radiomir 1940 models in smaller sizes. If you put a croc strap on one of those, you can get away with something "dressy."
