where to buy straps
I've come to see you guys about straps because I understand that's half teh fun of owning a PAM. OK - I'm sticking to Rolex and Omega for teh time being, but I'm a strap guy rather than a bracelet guy.
I'm looking for a thick brown rough hewn strap...where should I go? I'd prefer to buy on line in the UK. cheers

I know you said UK, but Rob Montana makes some crazy good straps like what you described. I have one and am having him make another.

Thanks mfer - that's what I'm looking for. I'm sure that shipping a strap to the UK will be painless. It's the instant gratification I'm after, but after a few hours trolling the web, I don't think that's going to happen.

Actually for my Speedmaster, but it has the same 20 mm width as my GMT, so eventually I'll try the strap on both.
I've had a few leads and as you might expect the challenge will be to find the right strap in the right width.

Panerai Straps
I have 4 from Heroic18 and have been very impressed and satisfied with the service and quality. Just my 2 cents worth.
