Quarks

Nice watch Quarks How ya like it??

I love it. So much so that a crazy idea popped up in my head. I'll keep it to myself or else you'll knock me straight out. lol You HAVE to put this one on. I'll bring it along on Sat.

More pics....

I have long sold my soul to Panerai. My bills speaks volume.

David, thanks for setting this straight. Makes wanna go for a non-pvd one now...

I hear ya luminor. I want a 243 as well.

WOW. Wonderful pics. May I ask what camera are u using? I never thought of asking anyone this question but your pics begged me to.

That is one hell of a XL strap!!

Yes, the color is just right... But this is not a Dirk... It's a Panerai Pre V strap, the ones Dirk was made famous for and I believe what caused all the legal problems with E

I got an impression that is a Dirk NOS Pre-V strap 'cos I had the exact same strap as yours which I got directly from Milan. It has the 'Panerai Original Kodiak' stamped on the strap as well as the galvanised buckle. I remembered there was a big hoohah about where Milan got this 'NOS' from & if in fact Dirk did made them because apparently he had a whole bunch of them and was selling to the masses (I believe he still them in stock). Politics aside, you gotta admit this is indeed a badass strap for a badass watch!

Thanks my man - tell you what - it is bloody nice. The blue dial is really rather cool and sets it aside a bit from all the others. And it really feels solid like in a bar room brawl you could strap it round your fingers, use it as a knuckleduster and it'll still work afterwards!!

I did strap it on my fingers but was a bit hesitant about giving a try but nevetheless, it sure feels solid as a ROCK!

P/s Mark, your illume looks wicked!! Mine, on the other hand, but pretty good for a rep I guess

Just got this baby today and I am loving it bits!!!!!!

Nice one finepics!!

The Dirk strap fits the 195 like a glove. Compliment each other! Looks awesome.

^^ there u go.

Oh Sweet!! Sweet watch and a great strap to match with it.

V, that is right sir. Metta from Don. I will take some photos within the next few days and have a short review on this strap.
