And, Forgot to say how awesome your straps are.

Anyway, You have a very great collection there, sir!

These are the best and really look good on your watch...congrats!

Please do post the rest of your collection, as I would like to see and join.

Thanks Cru!

And heart82, no worries my friend! The rest of my collections are in rhe bank's deposit box at the moment, since the robbery I never keep more than 3 watches in my home safe.. Usually I rotate every 3 months or so, but I'll try if I can post a few more pics of the rest of the watches! :)

No problems my friend! I'm gonna change my strap again later on sunday! Hahahaha... Man you gotta love the strap changes.

One thing I wonder though, why doesn't this boutique edition comes with a screw-in lug, instead of a push-in lug...

I like the push-in lug much much better. I can exchange strap extremely quickly anywhere that provides two toothpicks and I can even exchange it on a traffic light!

I'm sure most of us here love the quick-strap-change system, too.
Or, I should say the "toothpicks-strap-change" system...

Ya hahaha.. I was surprised the boutique editions didnt come with that system!

Probably to make them more in line with historic Panerai. Still better than springbars!

Great straps.

I have a strap Greg made me from tan English bridle leather with historic, vintage style stitching, after wearing it and rubbing a lot of Kiwi brown polish into it, it looks like a heavily patinated ammo strap, but cleaner and stronger, definitely my favorite.

Better than spring bars is a definite. Im trying to get ahold of wotancraft's 74 series.. Looks awesome!

I was bored earlier... had nothing to do today... and my wife is out of town, so more time to fiddle with my watch.

So then, I have 2 JV straps sitting around, and I really liked the assoulamante (whatever it's called) strap... so I thought "hey why not make my JV vintage.."...

So I did.

Turned out pretty good and I really like it.

Great straps!

[heart82]

another great one you got there, shade...

[watchyou]
