It never ceases to amaze me how much a simple strap change can transform the entire look and feel of a watch.
Yesterday, I visited my incredibly kind (and exceptionally generous) AD. As a small token of appreciation for a recent larger acquisition – an IWC Eternal Calendar – he gifted me two new leather straps for my Panerai 670. A lovely gesture following a significant deal.
Naturally, I couldn’t resist trying one on right away. I went with the green strap first, and I have to say, I’m truly surprised how much it changes the vibe of the 670. It feels like a completely different watch now – and I absolutely love it!
Curious to hear your thoughts: how do you like the new look?
Have a great weekend, dear watch friends! ☺️
P.S. Here are two pictures of the 670 with the original strap that came with it when I first bought the watch.

Thank you ☺️
I’m glad you think the new strap looks fabulous! I was pleasantly surprised by how much it changed the watch’s vibe.
It's the magic of straps:
they really can change completely the look of a watch. For me, your new green strap goes wonderfully with the watch: it makes it less severe, "friendlier" (if that makes sense), and I prefer the look to the one with the original strap. Have a great weeken...
I agree; the new strap
gives the watch a sportier and more subdued look in a good way. It’s fascinating how such a change can impact the watch’s character.
It’s a fun and creative way to personalize our timepieces.
For me, though, this whole strap-changing idea is new. Until now, I’ve always worn my Panerais with their original straps – on all of them! So this olive suede is my first real venture into the world of strap swapping. ☺️
Thank you so much, Emmanuel!
The strap really does change the whole vibe of the watch. And I must say, for me the new strap looks so much better – it gives the watch a completely different character, much softer and more relaxed. And - as you wrote - „friendlier“. Have a great weeken...
A nice gesture indeed 🙌🏻👍🏻
And it looks very nice on the olive strap. What color was the other new strap?
Here you go.
I’ve also taken a photo of the second strap for you. And to give you a better impression, I laid it over the other strap as well. ...
Both look like an excellent fit 👌🏻🙌🏻
For me a tad better than the original one, both 👍🏻
Looks fantastic!
Different straps add up to different personalities, especially on Panerai!
Absolutely!
The right strap can completely shift the mood, from rugged adventurer to refined gentleman. This olive suede definitely brings out a more relaxed, casual side of the PAM 670 I hadn’t seen before. ...
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 😁
I appreciate your enthusiastic response, my dear friend! 🙏🙏 Have a great weekend.
Old Panerai foogies.....
like me, used to recognize 2 distinct phases of addition to the brand: Paneritis, when you couldn't help buying one after another. Wrist-strap-titis, when you bought strap, after strap and changed them, more often than your underpants, a-la-Yacomino Lolll...
LOLLLL
„Wrist-strap-titis“ – bellissimo! I just hope it doesn’t end the way you describe: first one strap, then two… and mamma mia, before I know it, I’m knee-deep in suede, leather and who-knows-what-else! That’s not my plan!!! 🙏 I really want to keep it simple...
I’ll do my best, Sergio!
But I can already hear the faint whisper of the next three, four, five straps… they’re already mouthing my name! Maybe I should just launch an underwear collection to match the strap-switching frequency! Looooooooooool!!
The ones in the left....
box are the Pre-V ones, the others are the "banal" ones. Don't forget the 18 straps, presently on the Panerais I still have ...
Oh mamma mia, Sergio…
That’s not a collection, that’s a leather invasion! 😎 I feel like I’m starting to walk the path of no return… Let’s face it, we’re doomed… gloriously, stylishly doomed.
Yeah, a different strap can make a huge difference.
Here is my 1033 on its summer strap. ...
