projectologist Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'm really glad they've decided to put this strap in their regular line up available at an AD near you The Assolutamente strap (MX006ZBZ) was at first only available with SE's (the 24mm size). So when they became available separately back in July I ordered one. They're priced the same as the other calf straps, but I still see them FS at a premium on the forums. Highly recommended as they develop a nice patina pretty quickly and a slightly lighter one instead of getting dark and ugly like some of the JV's. Here's mine after wearing it only 2 days. The stitching is a shade of off-white similar to the vintage lume on the SE's. Some quick phone pics while sitting at a stoplight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trombone Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 how much is it at an AD? just wanted to have one for a long time, but when one show up on paneristi, they are usually quite expensive:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corelli Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I believe they are only $240 at the AD. They are in high demand at the moment so usually go for closer to $300 on paneristi. If you are patient, they do pop up cheaper. I lucked out with a 95% condition one for 180 and agree that it is best strap to date and even trumps the Jules Verne (gold or black) which is saying a lot. Pick one up - you will not regret it!

You can find a list of AD's at the main OP website, then call around to see who has one in stock. I ordered mine through an AD, and it took about 2 weeks to show up.
