Bill reminisces about the 'crazy days' of Panerai strap customization, highlighting how integral straps were to personalizing these watches. He shares examples from his collection, including OEM options and creations from renowned makers like Greg Stevens, inviting the community to revisit the enduring appeal of Panerai's strap culture.

Not sure if you guys remember the crazy days of vintage straps and your Panerai. 

It was so cool to dress them up. 

I still have a few. 






All kinds of strap makers.






Lots of oem stuff




Greg stevens one of my all time favorites like the crazy horse.

dear Hans. One thing is realizing you still own a lot of ASSORTED straps and mentioning the names, another is publishing several pictures ONLY to advertise YOUR produtcs. I still remember your "Italian Tour" pictures on which you changed straps (mentioning EACH model). I have personally mentioned your Corrigia straps a lot of times and suggested, in many an occasion, to buy them because I SINCERELY like them. I've never seen an OEM strap in your posts or a Simona or Bosphorus or a Sengiastrap..G
