l3x Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I picked up a black coramid strap for the 24 from Paneristi. Only problem is I'm thinking it might not be gen. The thing that stands out are the checkered areas. Normally the checkered area is nicely defined and uniform (at least from the pics I've seen). At some angles it is nicely detailed but at others it looks smudged. The one I have seems to be a little beat up. Any help in verifying is appreciated. Back side: Despite this, I'm really liking the strap. It is very comfy to wear and I think suits the 24 very well. And a recent pic I took of the 24 with some of the other frankens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I've never come across a rep of that strap, so I'm thinking it must be gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I have one but not with me. I now think I am wrong but when I bought mine a number of years ago it only came with one keeper and I had assumed that was correct given that a number of the A straps came with only one. Then again I may have simply lost it. They are stunning straps but a complete pain in the neck to put on properly. Getting that keeper above and below the "stub" is a royal pain. Here is one on a 63C for you. Completely incorrect from a purist perspective but I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added a second one to keep the other end of the strap snug. And I know what you mean....they are comfy to wear but man...getting it on is another story. I think I've come up with a system though. It only took 2 minutes to get it on this morning (down from 5 mins before ) Thanks for the pics. Looks pretty cool on your 063 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfalls Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hi I got mine from watches24seven last year. it came with 2 keepers and from the back side its like yours. I have been taking a look in the part with the grid and it looks ok from any angle.Pictures were taken time ago, if you need I can take new ones Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3x Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thanks for the pics frogfalls. Nice looking 24 you got there Knowing that there wasn't any reps of these coramids reassures me. Perhaps mine was just more heavily used causing the wear around the checkered area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey kruzer00, For A-Serie Coramid straps, they only come with 1 keeper, of which the material is like the old skool keeper on the Panerai Rubber Conmfort straps. The subsequent Coramids produced, which are the modern ones, come with 2 keepers. and l3x, yours is definitely an OEM...no Fugazi(s) on this particular strap just yet!
