urbanshogun Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share 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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanshogun Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share 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?

prdubis Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanshogun Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 apart from the strap are there any comments on this watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrisin Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The usual comments, crown spacing and wrong movement finishes but other than that it looks like a solid piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WatchDude Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Didn't buy it on leather, but I put it on leather... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanshogun Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share 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.
