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...

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....

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....!

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 ..

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.

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...

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.

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.

Yes, in the original color and the Hemingway (darker brown). He also made me one from a 1940 map case.

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.
