OEM Vintage?

I've read that Panerai has released OEM vintage straps. Anyone have one on their PAM? If so, how about some pictures please?

Thanks for the link. My first impression is that I agree with you here ... that strap isn't doing much for me.

They just look cheap and waxy. Why pay $250 for that when you can get something like this for under $200....

x2 The OEM alligator straps a really nice, however, for the price that they are asking for these there are a lot of really good 3rd party straps out there.

Santa brought me a nice OEM gold calf which I hated so I rubbed it down with some oil and ended up with this ....



I hope I don't get coal in my stocking next year!!!

Great looking straps but how do the thick straps wear and feel on the wrist?

Are they stiff? How does the watch sit?

At first glance, those OEM vintage straps don't do anything for me...maybe I need to see them in person.
