Changed a strap for the first time last night and I'm unsure about the colours. It almost matches my shirt.

Thoughts?

Al1969 · 19 August 2016, 11:26 AM

Looks okay to me, but I think I'd with something a bit darker.

Ruud Van Driver · 19 August 2016, 11:26 AM

One more

Al1969 · 19 August 2016, 11:28 AM

Maybe this dark?

The powder blue is an OEM 'gator, which was thrown in free with my 689. It's not for dress, formal wear anything like that, I just wanted something completely left-field for a change.

Great strap!

From the pictures, it seems to work.

nick c · 19 August 2016, 12:18 PM

It's nice for the summer

BigAl72 · 19 August 2016, 12:42 PM

Looks good, definitely different.

Nope - the blues don't work together

If that's the case, then you definitely chose a good color.

Can't say it's my fav combo. Guess you'll just have to buy a pvd 44mm luminors to match! ;-)

Blues of the watch and strap, the shirt or all of them? I think that's what's bothering me is the variety of blues. I'm also wearing navy keks (pants) and slightly lighter navy Cons.

Don't you bloody start! Cru's bad enough at encouraging me to empty my bank account at the OP boutique

Thanks guys. I'm beginning to think it works but not with the mish-mash of blue clothing. I never claimed to be a fashionisti anyway

Ian Macdermott · 19 August 2016, 06:32 PM

Paul the watch looks fine on the strap

Not too sure about the matching blue shirt with blue shorts though

Thanks, Ian

Except they're trousers, not shorts

Psmith · 19 August 2016, 06:37 PM

My apologises in that case as long as you had matching blue ear rings it would be fine

pakal · 24 August 2016, 03:40 PM

Total failure (in my very personal opinion) :
1) that blue strap is gorgeous but it does not match AT ALL with the blue dial of the watch
2) the color of the strap is stealing the show from the real player here : the beautiful blue dial of the watch.
My 2 cents.

1William · 24 August 2016, 09:02 PM

Nice strap but does not go with or match the watch.

brandrea · 24 August 2016, 09:04 PM

Looks great to me for a change of pace

porschedude · 26 August 2016, 12:20 AM

I think you could totally rock that, especially being summer time. sunglasses, flip flops, oh yeahhh

I'm cool with the opinions that don't think it works

Personally, I think the OEM navy blue 'gator looks way better and the 'vintage' tan that usually lives on my 359 work much better. The powder blue 'gator is very left-field and I guess it's not going to appeal to everyone, but I'm ok with that too.

I guess I'll have to buy another PAM to match the powder blue to make sure it doesn't go to waste

You surely think outside the box! ;-)

Limestonedan · 26 August 2016, 10:28 PM

I like it. The great thing about Panerai is the ability to change straps easily. That piece is beautiful and I could see having many straps of different colors and shades to mix it up depending on clothing, seasons, day/night wear etc. Wear it in good health!

Billythekid · 27 August 2016, 06:47 PM

Looks great and different than all the brown and black ones
