The best aftermarket straps for your Panerai are Dirk straps and Mario Paci, TC straps are solid also.
Here is a link to TC straps, they are also the US distributor for Mario Paci. www.tcstraps.com There are tons of other cheaper machine made straps that will do the job, but you get what you pay for.

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from Micah as they are mass produced and machine stitched, but the quality is amazing and this is one of my favorite straps.
Micah - Keith - Micah Also love Keith Codman, Rob Montana, ABP and OEM!!! Rob- OEM's and ABP in the middle

My good friend Micah hand cuts his straps with a straightedge and machine stitches his straps. He knows what he is doing Plus he is an ex-Rolex junkie

I just got my Micah straps earlier this week and I really, really like them. Dont think they're mass produced; had to wait 2 weeks for mine. I got a plainsman and brindle (pictured)

All that said, I'm saying how surprised I was and how much I like them. Would definitely recommend Micah a ton!

Thanks for all the replies!
Most of what I have seen, are more casual peices.. Anyone know a good site for more for a dressy strap.. its for a radiomir, so i want to get something to wear with my suits as well, something with no contrast stitching and a strap that tapers. I saw many great casual straps can't even begin to think of which one to get lol! |

If I were to go dressy, I'd probably go with an OEM gator. That's if...doubt I will.

I second this one...Eliott at TC straps is awesome, so good to work with, lifetime guarantee on the straps. I got a Mario Paci strap for my PAM 250 and love it! Great quality, made in Italy and very fitting for this brand. Happy hunting!
