Icon6 Incoming- "mystery strap"...

...that's right- Told my buddy Alex at Panerai.in NYC to 'surprise' me. So I gave him my cc info yesterday, and am waiting for the FedEx dude to show up.
Will post pics á la 'reveal style when it does.

I have no clue what it's going to be.
The only other 'shoes' my 312 has (besides the two OEM) is an OEM gold Gator...

Very nice but ......

That gator strap you have Marc is possibly my favourite ever.

I just don't think you'll top that IMPO.

following up, in case others have the same issue, i saw in the "feedback" section that you have to go through the "front door" instead of the "back door" to clear up the photo problem.....the front door is blocked at work for me, but not on my iphone.

anyway, marc, very happy to see the strap. looks fantastic! very brave and fun thing you did.

Thanks for the comments, everyone! I really like this strap- sorry I don't know which model it originally comes with- but I do have to say that it's super soft and velvety feeling despite how thick and "crackly" looking it is...

It feels soft and supple, like suede, but is thick and durable...I think you'll like it...I want a dark brown or black one now...
