Maybe it's titanium equivalent but that would change the look of your strap combinations.

Ps I too am sitting on a few nice panerai straps without a watch to strap them on, been waiting to see if I get bitten again.

same for me ,,, cannot stand the idea of not being able to use all my nice straps for a PAM ,,,, now i am thinking of a 005 or a 632

what do you think of those ,,, i liked the 000 you had ,,, why did it go, why haha.

I was not on the forum for ages and just logged in to see what you posted ,,, and found this ,,, too funny.

The quick strap change buttons are pretty sweet, especially if you end up switching straps on a daily basis, but don't have lots of time.

If it's that important and the 233 is out of budget and the 312 is not the right size, there's always the 104 or 164.

Thanks much.

Well, the 312 got the call.

The strap change set up is awesome. No more masking up the lugs, etc. All you need is a couple of tooth picks and you're good to go.

I switch it up between the rubber deployant for weekends and Gators for work. Also just ordered a Vintage Ammo (custom order 70mm / 105mm).

I am completely fine with the way the 1950's case sits on my relatively flat wrist. The beefy crown guard is something I have always preferred over the smaller one on the 111 I used to own.

So glad to back in the Pamily.
