Looking for 26mm screw-in buckle

Dec 24, 2024,07:27 AM
 

Ordered some new shoes from different vendors over the last couple of months. Unfortunately this one for the PAM687 came without a buckle.

Can somebody point me in the right direction please.

Tried to order from the same outfit, but they will only send one with a new order…. So have to pass.

Original strap is 27/22mm at the buckle. The custom made strap is straight throughout. 26mm lugs and 26mm buckle. Won’t fit.

Panerai sells all type of buckles....

Most of the after market strap makers, offer the "sewen-in buckle" option. Some make you even choose the type of buckle you prefer (with an increase in cost, obviously) ...  

There is probably a limited number of suppliers for these sewn in buckles

I believe that mine is similar to yours (27-26) but it’s also important to note that depending on the type of buckle - the holes on the strap are also a different shape ...  

My buckle is an original Pre-V one (not an after market)...

and also the strap is an original "custom made" Panerai Assolutamente. That being said, all the aftermarket producers I know (quite a few of them) have an array of buckled to be "sewn in". Since the straps are all custom made, the holes will be punched in... 

I didn’t know that there were OEM sewn in buckles

Thank you for sharing! I know that there were 24-24 and 27-24 straps as well as the 27-22. I know the 22 buckles are not sewn in but I’m not sure about the 24s

Panerai doesn't produce straps....

with sewn in buckles anymore. Few years ago (I haven't kept up with the evolutions) it was possible to order custom made ones and select original Pre-V buckles with them. It was not advertised but for...fussy clients...they made exceptions. I have a few o... 

Try Greg Stevens Design, he has a nice selection of 26mm screw-in Panerai-style buckles that he sells separately.

No affiliation with GSD, but I have purchased from him before and have been happy with the quality of his products. www.gregstevensdesign.com

Technically, PLUGS like these.....

should be sent by way of PRIVATE MESSAGES. In the spirit of the Holiday Season and so on....

Not intended to be a 'plug', just answering the OP's question

I figured that sharing the information on the forum (isn't that why we're here?) made more sense than hiding it in a PM. Another strap maker's name was shared earlier in the thread as well.
