Need to attend PSA Immediately

Okay, I need to find the nearest chapter of Panerai Straps Annonymous. Wow, I have a problem... I just do.

Hi, I'm Jackson and I can't stop wanting straps for my 177 and two new incoming pieces...

I know I should be asleep right now at 12:23 and I have plenty of straps but, I can't stop.

I need a 12 step program.

Step 1 - turn off the computer and go to bed...

Step 2 - Stop looking at Posts by Niels and others here on TRF and other sites...

Step 3 - Just stop.... It's a recession - save money. Stop...

I don't think this is stoppable. 2004 to Thanksgiving 2008 zero straps purchased - Thanksgiving 2008 to present... I have bought a lot of straps... I must be losing it!!!!

I know I can bring this problem to you my TRF friends... Thanks for reading.
........

Good night...

I like the Catlain series... And that strap is a good reprodcution of the vintage strap in the book. His 127 is gorgeous!

What to do....

I am going to paint a sign and stand on the road "Will work for Panerai Straps" that will complete my admission to the nut house!

Okay, more confessions... I said right here on this forum that I was not a fan of the PAM Subs. Particularly the 24. Now - I really really like it. I have completely changed my thought on it... I almost bought my neighbors 113 - it does look good on the wrist!

I am going to post strap pics this week....!

Concur. Simona did a gator strap for me that came out really great. Sadly, I misplaced half of it. I have no idea where it went, but I take solace knowing it's somewhere in the bedroom so not really "lost" for good. Oh well, I still have 9 others to chose from.

Check out the Katkus straps too. Have three, all top quality.

WOW! That is gorgeous.... I bought a "darker Simona gator this week and also a Ted Su "Golden"... Like yours.... Niels... I am glad you live in Siberia.... If we were pals in the same town - I would be in even bigger trouble...
Niels - what size is the Simona.... Wow, that's gorgeous...


Tuisquash... 15 straps? Wow, I finally did get the Black Horween GSD. It is on my 177 right now. I love it. What a great quality strap....

funny you say that i was looking at the darker Simona also .. cant beat her gators.. and yess the Teddy strap is nice.. got no other words for it. Well if i would live "in the real world" i might be able to spend my $ on smth else .. but indeed is does not help meeting all these Risti's over the world showing there pic's off ...

this Simona is a 24/24 - 130/85 and indeed a real nice strap , now looking for a chokolate brown prev with a bronze stich...

take care ..

The Horween is black white stitch... I have to say - it is a pretty amazing feel and it looks great. I have actually received compliments on it.

I will take some pics of it... In fact, I will work on that right now. See how I do!

I owe the forum some pics...

This is one of my favourites too.

Gus, you do need to call Nuri from Zeugma.

I've got my 024 on a GSD Horween with black stitching. Going to take some pics and will post them. For my money, GSD and Delaurian are the best straps out there and I am looking forward to buying a couple more for the 024. I love this watch.

Would love to see pics of that strap (Same as mine) on the 24) Although... it is dangerous...

BTW, any pics of the Delaurian. I have tried to contact him for info - no luck.

I have been considering the Zeugma strap case he has on his website. Looks pretty cool. Probably beats the tupperware I am carrying my straps in now...

Or my quart ziplock bag

Here are a few pics of his straps. In the pic with many straps, the one on the watch and the two to the right are Katkus straps.
