Cats

I have 2 H factory straps . One i bought via a member here on RWG and 1 i got on my 005K. The one i got on my 005K has made in Italy stamped on the inside and the one i bought here on RWG says made in Austria ( as on the old rubber straps ) Can anybody tell me which if the H factory ever sold the vanilla smelling rubber strap with made in Austria printed on it ??? Kind regards, Cats

Agree but they don't have the same shape as the 127 ( top hat ) Carpe Diem Cats

Absolutely no expert , it looks OK to me. Some remarks, should the canon pinion be flush and flat and the lever of the crown guard sticks out. Carpe Diem Cats BTW nice croc in the back ground

It's getitng boaring but it's glued to the wrist lately Have a nice day Cats

Makes me think of the famous question "who makes the best SUB " Out of the box it are H factory Panerai which are the best, don't know if they ever made a 111. The best help for your question can be found via the search option and after hours of reading. Have fun and good luck. Carpe Diem Cats

I've been out playing football and swimming with me son so the SUB is a good toolwatch for that activity Have a nice weekend ( waht's left of it ) Carpe Diem Cats

One i got , bought it second hand , has the vanilla smell. The one that came on my 005K doesn't smell like vanilla. The problem that i have with both that they get dusty and grayish after some time while wearing them. By the way do the gen rubber straps have a glossy/shiny or a matt finish Carpe Diem Cats

Great video thanks for shearing Pete. Carpe Diem Cats

Just boiled and cleaned it ans soaked it in baby oil. Funny the baby oil is absorbt by the strap. I will wear it a few days and see what happens to the strap if the finish stays the same. Carpe Diem Cats

Thanks guys for your reply. I will give it a try first boiling it and then cleaning it. I think i must have been a bit more specific. What i would like to achieve is that it gets a dark black shiny tone like i had on several other black Panerai straps i owned before. Carpe Diem Cats

Normally the post offers a service to forward mail and parcels that are send to an "old" address to be forwarded to the new address for a certain time. Most likely Domi will have done that otherwise it will be returned to you cause the can't deliver it. ( assuming you have send it signed for ) Good luck Carpe Diem Cats

I have been wearing the rubber H factory strap on my PAM for the last few days and noticed that the black vanilla smelling rubber get's a little white grayish color over the black color. The rubber straps i had before were more plastic like and had a deep black color and a kind of shiny finish. I was wondering could i achieve the shiny effect and getting rid of the discolration towards a little grayish hue over the strap by giving it a good bad in baby oil or something like that. Any suggestions ?? Thanks in advance. Carpe Diem Cats

Nice story and a great result. Wear it in good health. Carpe Diem Cats

Still my MBW SUB Have a nice day Cats

You did a good thing there Andrew. Reminds of the beginning of 2008 when RWG members supported me in my fight against cancer. It did mean a lot to me to share a passion that we have for watches and the clear your mind from the worries and fear you have. Luckily it turned out towards a recovery and , up untill now , a cancer free life for more then 3 years now. You helped Douglas a lot that i know for sure. Carpe Diem Cats
