Both straps pictured here on my 036 are Taikonaut. The first one is a natural calf strap and the second one (and my oldest strap to date) is a Marlboro leather style strap.
The fiddy in the first group shot has a BoB vertigo coconut strap and on the second (around the middle of the 1st page) is a Maniffature Firenze 1942 and now kruzer00 is the new owner
Beautiful watch..
One comment:
with a little cutting knife take away the sealand on the side of the strap and distress it. It will look much much cooler then
All that straps were bought and sold the last year..
Now I have other straps in my collection.
Trust me, all the straps I have got, cost the price of a genuine Panerai Base in total
If you see a strap you like from my photos don't hesitate to ask me about the model. Most of them are sold now but I will tell you from where I got it.
The quality of my 111H CN movement is PERFECT.
It keeps time within COSC from the start and runs smoothly.
I got 2 more BASE Pams with CN movements on transit.
