Here are pics of my Panerai PAM203 on the accordian rubber strap
Putting this accordion rubber strap makes my PAM203 dial look more gray colored because now it contrasts with the black strap. Aesthecially, the watch looks "boring" to me now since it's all monotone shades. It looked 1000x better on my vintage beat up calf brown leather strap because it gave it character. Nonetheless, I main reason I put on this strap is for the comfort and wearability in water.
The rubber strap is a tapering 26mm x 22mm so I had look for a 22mm buckle. Luckily I purchased a polished Panerai 22mm buckle several years back, so I used this as the buckle. The PAM203 buckle is a Pre-V 26mm buckle so in the box that goes.
Cheers,
Anthony

Looks good on rubber but....
I prefer the vintage leather because it suits the watches original intent and DNA. For practical use as you noted, swimming, I guess it works. Bill
In all honesty, this rubber srap looks weird on your nice 203.
The calf strap is waaaaay much nicer! Best, Nicolas
weird..
how a blacks trap drowns out the gold hands.. MEH...please remove ASAP! beauty of a 203!
Leather!
Yeah, much p;refer it on leather. Maybe consider ordering a Kodiak waterproof leather strap; for it.
I agree with the vast majority here - looks much better on a my leather strap
than my new rubber strap. Oh well :P I'm still going to wear it on the rubber strap for the time being because it's just much more comfortable to wear on the rubber even though I know it looks 10000000000x better on the calf strap. Cheers, Anthony
Definitely changes the look
but I still love how it looks on the leather strap. I'm sure comfort-wise the accordion rubber strap can't be beat.
