Hornback strap on 312

Picked up a Panerai hornback.

Ray is more than great to deal with. Felt like we've been old friends rather than customer & vendor

This is a unique hornback style. The horns are not typically aligned from top tapering downwards. The horn on the strap towards my body is a little diagonal, about 4 cm in length and 1.8cm in height. There is another horn towards the tail that is about 3/4 of the main horn in size.
The best part is how the tail sits between 2 larger horns. Its like the tail is perfectly sized for the crater of the horn.

I love alligator straps and this one in particular.


Enjoy!

That is one dangerous looking strap, especially on a 312.
I love it!
