Anyone use a bracelet??

Hey guys, I have a pam499 and 5 diff straps, I saw a pam352 today, black dial with steel bracelet and realized I hardly ever see a bracelet panerai out in the wild.
Was trying to see if a steel bracelet would fit on my 499, anyone try this? 352 is 44m as well so I don't see why not but maybe I'm missing something?

As I live in a tropical country, I always use steel bracelet.

Can’t really explain why, but the 40mm Luminors always look better to me on a bracelet.

I agree, the look good on bracelet, but has anyone tried buying a bracelet to put on a strap model? I have 499, seeing if a bracelet on another 44m model would work.

You could probably buy a third party bracelet on Ebay that might fit. I have the Pam1312 and I read that the Pam723 would fit my 1312 because they have the same size case. But it would cost a lot of money for just the bracelet. I should have just bought the 723 and then you could change it up with straps.

I’m starting to like the bracelet on Panerai watches.

I like the ruggedness it looks
And now I'm trying to look at PAM 722 in the flesh

Historically, Panerai were worn on straps which is why they are the most popular option. I do think that the bracelets look good on the smaller models, but on anything 44mm+ they just seem bulky. I have yet to see a Panerai bracelet in the flesh, but I think since so many individuals who collect Panerai also collect Rolex, Omega, etc that they already have bracelet options in their collection.
