Panerai OEM Strap Question

[vlydog]

Does or did Panerai make a 26mm/24mm black calf strap with white stitching?

Thank you.

I believe so....I think it was their vintage line.

I know they had an OEM Black Gator with White Stitching Vly...

Found this one just now on Paneristi:

Does it appear to have a taper?

[dluddy]

Looks like a 26 x 26MM to me - no taper

[V]

No.. they only made 26/26

Thanks everyone for your help.

Doesn't look OEM.

FWIW, there is a '09 strap list on paneristi.com

I am with V. 26x26 only.

They do make a MX strap with white stitching in 24/24

Edit: Oops....I misunderstood the question. I thought you were looking for straps in 26mm OR 24mm....not 26/24. Sorry.

The 232 came on a MX strap 27/24mm with the sewn in MX Logo Buckle. You can also get them in black. Panerai also have a new line of Vintage straps out on the on market, still a little hard to come by...but they do exist.

EDIT: After some more searching, the only OEM Calf I could find close to the 26/24mm is the OEM Tan Calf found on the 232 and 249. Nothing in Black tho. Next to that all I can see is 26/22mm. Some have had custom made by OP straps with the sewn in OEM MX Logo buckle added to all kinds of configurations but that is mighty pricey and slow to do.

If you are set on a 26/24mm you'll have to get it custom made aftermarket I'd say. Be nice to have the MX Logo Buckle added to a black calf with Ecru stitching.. any strap maker could do that if you give them the buckle!

Hope this helps
