I really like the blue one. Where did you get these from?

timepieceaddict · 15 January 2010, 09:21 AM

Congrats and welcome to the 312 club!!!

B. Doggy · 15 January 2010, 09:41 AM

Excellent pics!! I needs to get me a brown OEM croco for my 312.....

sushisummo · 15 January 2010, 10:34 AM

Very nice.....especially the blue one.

Ammo gets my vote!

Shade · 15 January 2010, 11:07 AM

Thanks for the compliments guys..

The blue croco strap is original Panerai strap, I purchased it off my local dealer, they had to order it in from their workshop - as its considered "sparepart"

I'm wearing the Ammo today - with my jeans and T-shirt. :)

The Ted Su strap is very nice, really suits the watch

Cheers

Beautiful Ted Su!!! Perfect Combo!!!

CorruptedSanity · 16 January 2010, 02:52 AM

The 2 OEM are great. I love Panerai straps. I too have the blue one & love how it radiates blue in the sun and appears gray'ish in ambient light.

ocwatching · 16 January 2010, 03:20 AM

nice collection of straps...I was experimenting a bit and the 312 looks great dressed up for the office with an OEM or thin croc and then relaxed for the weeked with a ammo or calf...

nice shots! enjoy

Great collection and welcome to the 312 club! They all look great and I agree that the ammo goes particularly well.

I like the Ammo too but could someone explain why they call them ammo?
Thanks

Charlie, from what I've learned, its called Ammo because it was made from the leather of real army ammo (ammunition) pouch. It was collected, and re-made with delicate processing as to retain all the vintage-ness of the original leather.

Mine has the original stamp of the Soldier's name, and dated back to 1959.
