Finding nice genuine alligator straps for our Big Pilots at a reasonable price is a problem most of us encounter I believe.... No rep, or used gen strap can give me satisfaction, and I won't pay 400+ euros for a strap I'll have to change a year or two later.... I found a maker in China who is offering to make gen american alligator straps for apx 100 euros per strap, with all markings, if a minimum order of 50 straps is placed at once. I for one would buy two : a black and a brown, but I'm short of 48 straps here. I have purchased one first strap from them to see if the quality is good enough, and I must say I was very pleased when I got it. I posted pics below of my 5002 to share with you. I tried to catch all angles to clearly show all the details of the strap, the quality of the rubber finishing and the stitching. The marking could be improved, but overall this strap is a knock out for me ! By the way, they also can make rep panerai straps in gen alligator..... I will do the same post on the Panerai area later to see the response. Thanks for reading me !!!!!

Gents, I've been looking around a lot recently and looking at the differences between the 5002 and the 5004 (yes I've read reviews on the both - prior to hand and sunken date wheel reviews so mostly 3+yrs old) Personally I prefer the look of the 5004 dial, yet when looking on Josh's site there is a 5002 with a 5004 dial but the white background 5002 dial. http://www.p-cls.com/product_info.php?products_id=12113{1}2 Same being listed on TT's site (infact TT's site is better to understand what I mean from the menu) http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=30_238 I would have expected the 5004 to have the dark datewheel whilst the 5002 has the white one. Unfortunatly I've not been able to find a side by side comparison between the 5002/5004 vs Gen. (believe me I've searched!!!) Overall I'm looking for the most accurate 5004 yet do quite like the look of the grey dial (which would probably look better with a white date hand vs dark - which questions the 02 vs 04 date wheel) Starting to get confused with what is what now, so turning to the forum for some advice... Hopefully I can get some good pointers. Thanks,
