Kuba

if so then get 26x26 size with buckle it would rock this planet!!

btw You could post some pics for us

I really really love that tan snake one. It looks so fine and will definitly make a good match with your (I quess, as I dont thing its for 127 or 217) radiomir

ok I took my time and peep at it carefully. Dude!! theres no way anybody gonna notice the difference! The font is small itself, and the difference is even less noticable imo :|

anyway gens are gens, you cant cheat at them

this watch looks amazing! these vintage pams are one of the best there are to show off

gongrats mate, I envy you soooooo much

well I never got tired of this infos here, this pleace is simply wonderful and you cant waste time here!!

Yeah, you can order these directly from their website.

but I was thinking and i tried to order but I didnt got any, and my question is...

Does anybode here have Panerai Special Editions Catalogue?

I tried to order those in english and italian, none arrived, I was wondering if theres a way to get those if they exist as its written on Panerai website

thanks!!

best way to learn everything is to try I dont know if there are books about stitching, I asked Aaron in email, got some clues, but never a whole answer and tried tried tried

Im going to write something like 'how to' about strap making, cuz Ive made already a couple for me and my friends, I still regard my strapworks as awful, but my friends tell me to stick with this thing and improve my skills

Anyway Ill say to you what I was learned of myself.

Dont use best quality leather for your first strap project. Unless youre a cobbler dont do it, It wont look good and you will wear another one youll make in the future. It wioudl be a great waste of good leather.

But thats my advices. Anyway you will need a razor knife (or something simillar that is very very sharp to cut the leather), good glue ment for leather, something to press glued leather for time for the glue dry, some tools to do the holes ment for future stitching (i use a simple spike and hammer), then youll have to decide what kind of stitching will you do, straight, angled, couloured, matchng etc so also you will need a thick, strong thread and hooked or normal needle. In the end youll have do the holes for your buckle.

And thats it, but please, take your time and dont hurry. Patience works better than rush in here, although you would want to have this strap finished in 2h (that can be done) other than waiting 24h for the glue to dry properly

Have fun, its addicting the same way as Panerais are

btw, I done this few days ago, a black tan, white stitching

Id wear my watch over the sleve only if it was freezing cold winter time and the sleve would be my winter jacket one. I wouldnt have to pop up my sleve to see whats the time

Otherwise it looks pretty silly

eye candy as usall

btw Maciek, moja odmawia pozowania :/

great choices!!! black for your siut and distressed brown to wear with jeans and rest of yours

man that rep looks crap and I just hate new bond SM

great idea!!! great job!!

never thought of it finally Ill have some real example when strap making and sizing

i'd go with one of Tans, as Ive 111h and some black and tan straps and I can asure you, tans go way better with 111h than black ones imo. But on the other hand it doesnt match as many daily clothes as black one for sure.

So for the first strap Id chose that gorgous MP strap, the stitching would match perfectly your 111h marker colors in daylight

177H all the way imo!!!

yes, I took a hammer, a spike, a ruller and then I took needle and and some thread to stitch it myself... no machinery used there

Ill post pics this weekend as I had no time lately of the rest of my madeings and tools I used.

I wonder if Wojtecki is somehow related to Poland as his name sounds totally Polish....

i was wondering the same for some time already If so we could get lower shipping price

im into panerai cuz they are my love from the first sight... the first panerai actually I saw long time ago begun my watch addiction

Pams are the most gorgous watches for a guy like me

How simple is that?

hmm one of a kind custom piece I prefer black hands but this one still looks gorgous

this is great work there mate!!

seen worse
