Straps from Europelli?

Good Day All,

Anyone get a strap from http://www.europelli.com ?,

One of my co-workers got a few from his PAM's and love them. I might order one up, they seem to be well priced.

Thanks,

Eric

When it somes to straps, you get what you pay for.


Look here for some of the best straps for your Panerai. - http://www.tcstraps.com/

My B Day is this weekend and I know my wife purchased the Mario Paci Special Edition Grey Distressed strap for me, I am so excited. I think it is going to look sweet on a ti case.

Europelli straps are great. Drew ( the owner and sole stitcher) is great to deal with and he has great leathers available. Be sure to call him first to discuss your order. He really tries hard to please, and in my case, did so..

i just picked up a lightly worn Europelli 'Baseball' and i think the strap is excellent value for the $$$. it looks great (nice orangey/tan color) and the leather is very soft.

i'll try and post some pics...

i bought a rubber strap from Drew and it is great value for the money. Drew was excellent to deal with as well. Great communication and quick shipping.

Drew's customer service is excellent and great value. Not OE quality but gets the job done.

Not a better guy than Drew. I like his straps cause not over thick. Part of the fun of Panerai is trial and error with straps. :-)

Drew is a great guy, builds a beautiful product and is super responsive (far better communication than some of the other strapmakers I've purchased from).

He made this tapered Oxblood cordovan strap to work with the OEM deployant on my girlfriends PAM 48. My understanding is tapering the leather thin enough to work with a deployant is not an easy task.
