Just inquired about a JV strap for my 190......
and was told by Panerai that the strap on the 45mm 10 Days GMT is actually a 27mm/24mm strap and not a 26mm/22mm strap (I guess the holes are a bit wider apart on that Radiomir case), and it is also designed for a deployant clasp on that model.
I can order one in 26/22 for my 190 and a) it is wickedly expensive and b) it will take 8-10 weeks.
Is it really worth it? I know most of the threads here are very positive about it, but I could get three straps from strap makers for the same price.
Come on, push me over the edge - it looks superb

Why is Jules Verne so special? A strapaholic's moment of clarity...
To mark the 100 th anniversary Jules Verne’s passing, Panerai released the Jules Verne Sealand (Ref: PAM000216) in 2005. What captivated me most was not the watch itself but the strap. Photo taken from Panerai website So why is this strap so special? Well...
Gaz, this is such a great details on JV.
I've just got new JV for my wife's 219 and she really loves this strap BADLY....its texture and color are amazing. I never had the idea of the "aged JV" until I read through your post. Thanks for sharing your review. Here are some pics of hey JV.... oblig...
Gazza, that was the most comprehensive in-depth
of a strap I have ever witnessed. I am all over it now! HAGWE Asi

This strap, with the one of the 172/192, is one fo the very nicest Vendome straps... Vzery nice review, my Gazza Friend! LOL Best, and thanks! Nicolas
Like what Asi has said already, damn that is the most comprehensive strap review
I've ever read! I knew someday someone would write a strap review for a Panerai strap, so I'm not surprised at all. It's about time someone did I guess Thanks for the details on the Jules Verne strap, and many other Paneristi's have raved about the JV str...

Thanks for your report, Gaz.
Great report! I am particularly pleased to see your photos and comments regarding the black JV. I own a tan strap and have been contemplating the purchase of a black. After seeing your photos, my decision to purchase the latter is made. The JV is such a w...
Great review....
but I have had no luck with my JV. The strap retails for $375 in Australia but luckily mine was a gift so I didn't feel quite the same $$ pain when I noticed little "flicky bits" floating away from the strap and keepers. Perhaps I got the lemon in the bat...
Great review Gaz
The JV is one killer strap! This is the first time I have seen the black JV strap.

Yes, it is indeed an expensive strap...
I would even wager that its Panerai's most expensive strap. Also there are a multitude of variations in the sizing. Having said that and best to my knowledge, the deployant for the Radiomir is 20mm at the buckle end. Irrespective, I feel that the nicest O...

inspirational strap & review
I had to revive this thread. Certainly a lovely strap and very informational thread. Thanks Gaz. I actually first saw this strap type on another forum. Upon inquiring about it I found that it was actually made by a 3rd party strapsmith. Further search lea...
