OEM straps on Panerai Web site - complete list?

[Cru Jones]

Sorry, I tried searching for this info, but, after page 10 of results, I gave up.

Is the list of straps on Panerai's Web site complete?

For example, for Luminor 44mm watches, the Web site lists the following eight leather straps for the adjustable buckle:

Calf gold semimat
Calf black semimat
Calf gold Montecarlo
Alligator black semimat TEC
Alligator bordeaux semimat TEC
Alligator antique brown semimat TEC (shiny)
Alligator antique brown semimat TEC (matte)
Alligator black brilliant GEC

What about, for example, the JV?

no it is'nt,the JV was the one strap that came to my mind too when reading your list,also another strap that I want is the blue gator,if you have an AD near, pop in and they should have a strap order cataloge.

The green gator, yellow gator both light and dark blue gators as well as the cashmere-finished calf and some of the sueded/nubuck calf straps are missing from that list.
A lot of others are missing as well.

thanks for confirming, gentlemen.

in another thread i mentioned how a local AD is offering me a 164 with 2-3 OEM straps....problem is, it's hard to choose online, and i'm afraid to go to the shop and flip through a catalogue. i'd rather know before going if i'm getting the piece, because i fear i'll be too tempted to say "yes" just to get it over with it!

know of any online sources with all of the OEM straps?

Hey Cru-
It'll be hard to find a source with all of the OEM's listed- not even AD's have access to all the OEM straps- I believe some of them to be "Panerai Boutique Exclusives"
I'm sure if you email the New York store ([email protected]) Alex or Lindsay can let you know what's available, and most certainly help you better than searching around on the web. Hope I helped, and good luck!

thanks for the tip, marc! yeah, the internets is surprisingly frustrating for this "hunt".

i saw in another thread that you ended up ditching the JV??

No worries! Yes- ditched the JV for now- I may come back to it if I can find one pre-owned with some "patina" already on it. I don't really care for the way it looks brand-new.
