Chicken Leg in blue? What the??? Panerai content inside

Well I thought I'd post this here, as TRF was the place where I developed many new friendships... one of which is with a guy who calls himself 'Atomic'.

Given there's so many Panerai buffs on here, thought this might interest some of you guys.

John sent me a new blue strap for my fiver in Chicken Leg! The colour is great and its certainly different thats for sure. I'm loving the variety of straps you can get for the PAMs and the strap swapping that goes on in Paneristi circles is more fun than you can imagine!

THANKS Atomic for your generosity (yes I'll also post this elsewhere where he can actually see it )



Gundam!

Yeeha!
It looks nice and soft (the strap, not the weather ), how is it to wear?

18... very nice indeed. It's gone back up to 34 here today... Can't stand it

It's incredibly comfy. When I first popped it on it did give me a few bumps... so I wiped it down with - dont freak - Chivas Regal on a tissue that must have killed whatever was reacting with me.. now its a delight to wear. Ony downfall is that its a bit wonky between the lugs, concerns me it might loosen the screw. So I'll check it regularly.... and probably wear on special occasions.

So far of the straps I've had Dirk, Greg Stevens historic brown, OEM Calf, BlueChickLeg.... the Greg is the nicest to wear.. due to the thickness of the strap. At the GTG you are attending, I'll bring a bunch with me.. hey PM me your address again will you I deleted it by accident.

Very nice strap (and watch - I don't think I've seen it before - must have missed those posts).

How about some wrist shots of the watch and strap.

Yeh he's a good guy ... John told me the journey this strap has been on before it got too me and was finally loved - well loved enough to be worn lots!

The journey of this strap is testament to the Paneristi spirit...I think it passed through 4 sets of hands or maybe 5... started with dman I believe????

Rock - you might have been on holidays I think when I got the Panerai. Was late Feb.... Feb 22nd I think. I'll add some wrist shots later today.. took these photos at work and was getting quite a ribbing for it by my colleagues
