chrisbailey86 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi guys. Recently i have been really interested for changing the steal strap of my Daytona, for a more supple leather one! Now one of the things that draws me to Panerai, is the gorgeous leather straps that you find on some models. If anyone has any ideas of what i could be proudly wearing on my wrist at work in a month or so's time, it would be greatly appreciated! 1. Looking for a leather strap, brown or black. 2. Square of circular face but no diamonds or bling. 3. Im not a fan of roman numerals, so anything but that would be fine. 4. Is Panerai the only brand with the butterfly clasp?because i really like that. I hope this isnt a cheeky post, i just need to sap some of the wisdom and experience from these great forums. All the best Christopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Chris there are watches from nearly every brand that fit in your requirements BTW it's a Deployant not a butterfly clasp. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 The 'butterfly' clasp is a Deployant. It's a rather standard fitting on fancy phones. Would you prefer something dressy or sporty? Chrono or non-Chrono? Large, Small, medium ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbailey86 Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi Ken As always furthering my education! Ant ideas in particular. The reason being my boss knows his watches aswell, and looking for a classy watch with a bit of history with the make. Thanks Christopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbailey86 Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi Pugwash, hope your well any size other than small, and chrono/non chrono doesnt matter. I like the IWC portugese, so something similar? Once again i am a noob when it comes to this type of watch! Thanks so far Christopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbailey86 Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hi Pugwash Good point! That is very good history. Is precious time based in the uk? would you say that its best for us in the uk to order from him for good delivery times etc?

Pugwash Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Good point! That is very good history. Is precious time based in the uk? would you say that its best for us in the uk to order from him for good delivery times etc? Yes, he's based in the UK. You have zero Customs risk, very fast delivery (for in-stock items) and the amazing Precious Time customer service. I have a few watches from him and highly recommend him. Tell him Pugwash sent you.

Pugwash Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Oh, if you do go for the Moon Watch, it's sold with a steel strap. I changed mine out for one I picked up in Thailand, but you can get some amazing 20mm deployants from several EU-based strap dealers. For instance, look here: http://81.169.162.205/watchstrap-s335h330-..._20mm_25_3.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
