panerai oem strap

visited the panerai boutique. the manager was offering me to trade in my old pams for their new models. they must really be in bad shape doing all sort of gimmicks to sell their watches.

anyway I ended up getting what i was looking for. I found the last pair of vintage OEM strap 26/26. very difficult to find and i guess are not being made anymore.

I find the made in italy straps were more nuanced than the standard made in austria straps.

i have to admit panerai makes the best straps maybe better than their watches

Was the trade-in price decent?

As for PAM straps, the gators especially are quite nice.

Something around 3500 usd for Pam 305. Total bs. I wouldn’t like to say more negative things about ad and people. So I just didn’t bother

Makes me wonder why they even bothered.

Look on Etsy. I bought a killer strap $55 , and did some experimenting at home and it came out awesome.

That's actually a strong offer.

Most dealers pass on buying Pam. They don't sell
