Willith Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Very cool looking with the distressed straps too. I like the background you chose too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRT Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I agree with Willith 100% Those straps and vintage PAMs are a perfect combination. This might be my favorite Panerai collection I have seen so far. Please share the sources for the straps/watches...I may have to go shopping soon.

tomtofa Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Nice group A question on the 3436 - are the wire lugs welded or screwed? If welded, how did you get the sewn strap on? Thanks for the pics - Edited March 24, 2006 by tomtofa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
