OK Thanks

I don't know why but I always seem to order watches around this time of year.

Must learn patience

but I want it YESTERDAY!....:)

I do not have any watches that are 44mm and am worried it might be to large for me, My wrist is 8" so I think it will be OK. Never know till it's in place.

The photos I have seen are amazing! If it's to large I don't think I will have a problem doing a catch and release...:) Hope I don't have to.

I'll post some pics once it arrives.;)

If you're willing to spend that much, then why not get the OEM strap that comes with the gen 390. Msrp is $230 from any AD...

Here's the XL version which you will need for an 8" wrist.

It that the Ass strap? I saw one on eBay and they wanted $335 for it:(

Seconded. If you will pay over 200 for a strap, why not the real strap? :)

Flippers suck. Wait it out and buy one when the flipping craze dies out.

They did mention about it being hard to find..:) Might be good idea to wait a bit and see if the dealers get them back in stock..Thanks

The rep strap did not look that bad but I have yet to see a rep strap in person that I liked..:)

Utter BS. I just bought 2 more last week (the most comfortable strap OP has ever offered). Plenty of AD's that are just a phone call away (they ship). I wouldn't trust what a seller on ebay has to say about a strap being hard to find if he's putting a $100 premium on it for no other reason than to rip you off.

The rep version does not hold up very well.... especially the stitching.

Here's mine after 2 months of daily wear on another watch and transferred to this 390 the other day when it arrived...

I'M in S Florida, there is a Panerai AD in Boca Raton and another in the Bal Harbor shops in Miami..I'm gonna make some phone calls in the morning..;)

I just received an email from Joshua with a tracking number and he said the QC pics will follow... Apparently his Chinese New Years is over...:) Oh Goodie!!

Might not be so long of a wait! Guess I'll go for the gen Ass strap if I can find one. Still like that Mario Paci though...;)

Try the out of state AD's so you don't have to pay sales tax. All current AD's and Boutiques are listed at the Panerai website with phone #'s. And Boutiques usually ship for free.

Let the waiting begin...:)

Is Chinese New Year over today?

Surprisingly, Joshua is working in CNY, I ordered mine on last friday and paid on the night, Sunday afternoon, sent me the qc pics, I accepted it, today he said he will proceed for delivery. Since I am in Singapore, I could except the delivery this week, can't wait for it :-)

Josh sent the QC pics this morning, everything looks good to me so I gave him the green light to ship.

Now I can begin searching for an Ass strap..:)

I guess Josh had this in stock as he sent me QC pics. I also have an EMS tracking number but that does not necessarily mean they are open..

Does the entire Post Office also shut down for CNY? I'll post if I get a shipping confirmation...

Still undecided whether to source the genuine Assotulamente strap or the Mario Paci Submercitore...;)
