V Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Suggested sites for Panerai straps are: 1. BOB Their VERTIGO line is just AMAZING for the price... (I had a personal experience with them) http://www.waccex.de 2. Europelli Drew has hi quality straps with an excellent communication. He has the SHELL CORDOVAN line which is highly recommended (I had a personal experience with them) http://www.europelli.com/ 3. DON Don has good quality straps in very low prices.. Communication again is excellent and he has very interesting straps too... (I had a personal experience with them) http://www.homestead.com/rlx/DON.html 4. TAIKONAUT Pluto is a very nice guy and his straps are decent quality for the price. I had a few from him and I was happy. Interesting straps in interesting prices. (I had a personal experience with them) http://www.taikonaut-time.com/ 5. AARON (HKTAN) The best if you want a custom made strap. (I had a personal experience with him) PM him for questions. He is a member of this forum. http://photobucket.com/albums/d25/HKTAN1/ (pass hktan) 6. WOJTECKI Has very nice PRE-W straps. (No personal experience) You can find him at Paneristi accessories forum http://www.network54.com/Forum/353393/thre...aialelogo+cases. 7. MANIFATTURE FIRENZE Excellent source for vintage straps (and not only that). (I had a personal experience with them) http://www.manifatturefirenze.it/home.php/sel/0 8. BANDA Low priced decent quality straps (No personal experience) http://www.banda.com/ 9. BIG WATCH BOUTIQUE (No personal experience) http://www.bigwatchforum.com/boutique/ 10. STRAP-WORKS Their 1860 and 1950 lines are recommended. (No personal experience) http://www.strap-works.com/collection.htm 11. STRAPMASTERS The XaMas strap is of outstanding quality BUT very expensive. If you have the money to spend you won;t regret it (I had personal experience) http://www.strapmastersusa.com/ 12. EBAY Sometimes they source on ebay very good straps at low prices. Do a search and you might found something you are intterested... 13. PANERISTI ACCESSORIES FORUM Last but not least the Panerai accessories forum. You can get new and second hand straps in very good prices. Check for straps made from Mario Paci, Dirk, Watchboys, Gabomagic, http://www.network54.com/Forum/353393/ Edited July 11, 2006 by V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Great, me and a friend are hot on these group buys, so we are clubbing together to get a few from Europelli. I will probably get the basketball one and the distressed lambskin (bomber jacket) one. I will also go for a sharkskin from Don. Will let you know how it goes.

Willith Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 @ veni12, nice post. You can add: Watch Prince - decent straps and many other items (tools, winders, etc...). HM-Watchband - No experience, but heard from people they have nice straps. I noticed you left someone off the list, but I won't mention him either......

V Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I noticed you left someone off the list, but I won't mention him either...... I have only bad things to say about this one, and BAD publicity is a worldwide accepted and sometimes working form of publicity. So I decided not to mention him anymore.

V Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) All that straps were bought and sold the last year.. Now I have other straps in my collection. Trust me, all the straps I have got, cost the price of a genuine Panerai Base in total If you see a strap you like from my photos don't hesitate to ask me about the model. Most of them are sold now but I will tell you from where I got it. Edited March 28, 2006 by veni12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimster Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 @Veni, Awesome collection! Two questions?? Where did you get the Pam logo buckle in your post? I'm waiting for my Pam 188 modded up from RBJ. What strap color best compliments the white dial? Last but not least---Rich at www.globalwatchband.com Florida based and has great dive straps and excellent prices. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
