...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.

Wow. If its OEM croc - you can't go wrong on the 312 Marc. Good luck.

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. Can't wait. Wish my AD did something for me.

B. Doggy · 30 March 2011, 01:55 AM

looking good..great combo...

spuds · 30 March 2011, 06:18 AM

Very nice but ......

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

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

esm · 30 March 2011, 08:20 AM

interesting looking one Marc. i like the colour and texture. i think it is a nice summer strap.

whats next?

dddrees · 30 March 2011, 08:28 AM

Looking good, good combo Marc.

You are a true Risti my friend.

bcacncnc · 30 March 2011, 11:24 PM

Which model does that strap originally come with? It looks very soft. Me likes.

mfer · 31 March 2011, 12:46 AM

Nice, the new vintage line. Looks great!

Cru Jones · 31 March 2011, 12:53 AM

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.

marcinthemiddle · 2 April 2011, 10:27 AM

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...

bcacncnc · 2 April 2011, 11:28 AM

Thx marc/mfer. I need to pay more attention to the vintage range then. Its a beauty!

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...
