Officine Panerai

Hello friends, I would sincerely appreciate your honest opinions with regards to the strap choices you see here on the 995. Please be free with your comments. My default strap has been the dark brown Panerai OEM option that you see on the buckle side, ver...  

So I will give it time on the wrist, knowing that it’s so easy to rotate to other options.

No contest

And the strong consensus is very telling. Perhaps it’s also that Panerai can inspire one to be more daring…and new strap combinations are appreciated in that context. Again, thank you all.

[PS: But I think I agree with everyone else -- the camo between the two ]

Cheers Marc

Now, while I appreciate the mention on my passion to strap…I got my inspiration from two of our fellow purist whom are to me the true original strap monster: Justin and Ahoi! Cheers. ...  

and all of Ahoi’s strap choices, which I think also include Corrigia. I just had to try the camo on, and I will wear for a while until my beige and distressed brown straps like yours and Ahi i’d come through. You’re correct, changing the straps isn’t so h... 

My other suggestions would be in accordance to my earlier post. I think the darker brown with really good and as well to different occasions. A beige tone matches with the Lume but is not my personal choice. a brighter tone fits as well quite well. Includ...  

I’m not sure if these are all Corrigia, but the point is that the dark brown as well as light beige/sand speak to me loudest. The camo does not…which is why I was asking for feedback. However, I see my question was also shortsighted because I asked for co... 

with Henry Ford: any colour you want, so long as it's....black. In this case it's the PonteVecchio for me

And I don’t disagree since for me that is one of my all time favorite straps. But I have to venture a bit beyond my comfort zone for the experience.

expand one's horizons very well. I wore a pink sweat shirt in Christchurch N.Z. in the 80' and when I walked into a pub everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY froze and few mugs of beer fell from the patrons' hands. That's when I started "analyzing" which kind o... 

you don’t pull your punches, and I sincerely love and respect that )) AND, I agree with you on the point of that lesson. (And importantly I know you never have any mean intent). You speak your mind, which I appreciate on this forum from everyone. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ...

But I believe yours is one of the newer Panerai OEM straps, correct? I was drawn to the JR strap because it’s alligator.

You need to buy strap storage for AT LEAST six straps. Then you need to have six straps, yet find two others you like. So you need more strap storage. Naturally both straps, nice for starters. Enjoy your time. Sincerely, Guy who has three booklets filled ... 

But I can see how a strap collection can blossom given all the opportunities from many different strap makers.

I honestly forgot about that one in the box, but I always liked it when I saw Ahoi wearing it on his. 🤔. Thank you for mentioning that one…I am now curious to try it before other straps arrive.

There is a reason they themselves selected that strap as it matches the watch beautiful The camo strap in my humble view doesn’t do just to the watch character. But that’s all just personal taste and pref As a general rule f thumb; if I can’t chose betwee... 

Fits the marine olive green dial perfectly!!🤙
