Mother of god.

And, a custom order in most cases.

Just had the cold wated splashed on me today.

Sorry if this is old news. Guess I will hold tight on straps for a while.

Panerai FINALLY figured out how important straps are to Paneristi. Let the gouging begin!

jvo300 · 1 July 2011, 07:38 AM

Not worth it IMO. I had one and sold it. The normal JV is a much nicer strap and ages so nicely!

destrow · 1 July 2011, 01:28 PM

i was visiting the boutique in new york, planning on getting a new strap for my birthday; saw the high prices, and decided to pass. there are too many aftermarket makers that turn out better straps for less money.

ordered one last year for my 190 ( took 2 months ) but traded soon after for a gold JV.

bcacncnc · 1 July 2011, 02:07 PM

Is it really that much? It should be at the USD$300 dollar mark unless you asked OP for a custom sized.

Speed · 1 July 2011, 02:58 PM

Yup. That much. I called two Boutiques today. $420 for the black JV. Gold is $320.

bcacncnc · 1 July 2011, 04:43 PM

Gosh. As much I like the strap that quite an insane price. Oh well more searching Bill. As they say. The hunt is all part of the fun.

unreal!

getting past the shock, is there anything in the process or leather that would justify a $100 mark up? or, is just supply/demand?

if the market can sustain these prices, the execs over at richemont must be salivating, thinking not only can they get $10K for a SS 2-hand watch, but big money for straps from a captive and loyal clientele.

if it works, it works.

I have a black jv for my rad, and I must say it looks very very nice. I will take a pic of it when I can.

mfer · 1 July 2011, 10:25 PM

You guys getting the idea where Panerai is going now. Just their direction. Things are going to continue to grow and grow. They want to be a more exclusive brand in the long run.

Shade · 1 July 2011, 10:28 PM

Agree with Mik.. And most of the time oem gators are very hard to beat in terms of colour hue , treatment, and gator pattern.

Shade · 1 July 2011, 10:29 PM

The only strap area that pam is lacking are vintage styles, but seems like they are catching up with the assolumante!

I hear the 372 strap is amazing. Vintage ammo style.

i guess by exclusive you mean price? so, is 50K/year a high-water mark for PAM production?

Please, Norman
Take som pics. I'm curious/anxious to see it on a RAD

I'm debating between the assolutamente strap or black/gold JV.

Panerai has been stating for years they want to be a "high end manufacturer". They want to be more exclusive, so price high, numbers relatively low.

Joey_V · 2 July 2011, 03:10 AM

I'm going to have to see if my AD can source me one of these black JV straps.... in case I get another pam.

Shade · 2 July 2011, 03:17 AM

Blavk jv straps are really uncommon, and with the premium they command, I think they will stay ubxommkn

dddrees · 2 July 2011, 03:45 AM

Wow, that is a bit much.

Speed · 2 July 2011, 10:39 AM

Here is a deployant black JV on a Rad. Scroll down the page:

What a great read Bill, thanks for sharing that. I was thinking of writing such a report, but clearly this guy has done it with flying colours. Not to mention he got that picture of the brevetatto with the nubuck... Yum...

Speed · 3 July 2011, 12:52 AM

Sure!

That web write up was key to helping me decide on my golden JV. That page is always atop a google search on JV Panerai.

Would LOVE to get a black one, but man...$420.

Nica64 · 3 July 2011, 06:23 AM

$420

Sounds real nice, but like you said $420 for a strap is a bit salty.
