urbanshogun Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) My dealer could not get it on the rubber strap. Did anyone buy it on the leather strap the factories made? What is it like? should I order a new one now or is it OK? here is one of my QC pics btw Edited January 16, 2011 by urbanshogun
deniz21 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 if you want sell it to me for a fair price, i mean the strap and buckle
urbanshogun Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Posted January 16, 2011 so the leather is nice quality?
Mickey Padge Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 so the leather is nice quality? You have the pics, not us, do you like the strap!? You can always buy more, that's how PAM's work However in the pic you posted the strap looks nice, no crappy fake croc "print" or similar Who are you buying from?
urbanshogun Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) i am buying it from marvellousreplica here are the other pics he sent showing the strap Edited January 16, 2011 by urbanshogun
prdubis Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Panerai never produced OEM straps like these, so the Officine Panerai printing is wrong, but it looks much better than usual rep straps. I am going to receive my 219 on this kind of strap. Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
Sweattdogg Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 I think that strap looks great. Nice!
Talhah Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 I'm getting mine on the dark brown leather strap. From what I Can tell it looks pretty good from your pics.
Mickey Padge Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Strap looks nice, nice soft leather it seems, bet it's comfortable Never heard of marvellousreplica, is he new? He takes a decent QC pic that's for sure
urbanshogun Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) he's a trusted dealer over at RWI. His english is fantastic too. Thanks for the comments guys, it looks like I can hold of on ordering a custom BTW how easy are these to waterproof? Edited January 16, 2011 by urbanshogun
prdubis Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Leather straps are not waterproof, except seal and shark leathers, and of course Kodiak treated ones... You should apply mink oil of them but it darkens light leathers...

prdubis Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 hehe i meant the watch not the strap LOL Sorry mate! Just silicon grease the caseback gasket, check the crown and CG and you're done! Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
urbanshogun Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Posted January 22, 2011 apart from the strap are there any comments on this watch?
hubrisin Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 The usual comments, crown spacing and wrong movement finishes but other than that it looks like a solid piece.

WatchDude Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Didn't buy it on leather, but I put it on leather...
urbanshogun Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Posted January 25, 2011 nice. I received it today, and I have to say that the leather is very nice, if a bit stiff. but it has already started to soften up and i've only been wearing it for an hour or so. Having said that, the only other rep leather I have to compare it to came with a faux chrono planet ocean and was fake orange alligator. This strap is lightyears ahead of that one.
