What's your favorite Mario Paci strap?

Hi,

What all around strap from Mario Paci you can recommend that I can use for all around? (casual, sporty, etc.) I have a Pam111

If you had just one strap I think Fango Sharkskin is the most versatile. It's a nondescript mouse grey that should work with brown or black. It has enough texture to be interesting when you wear denims, but not so much that it clashes with a Superfine wool (although with a dark suit I would relate an aspect of the tie color and weave to the strap). Please post a pic with different outfits. Thanks.

I love them all. Mario Paci makes the best straps for Panerai, they are all so fantastic. I usually buy waterproof ones so I can swim with them, they are so comfortable also.

wow i see im not the only once with a gunny obsession!

The thing i like about gunnys is not only the straps themselves.... but the price!

The price he charges is really quite good! i got my chocolate fudge gunny for the £80ish mark..... an equivalent ted su is wayyy above that! (although cant personally comment on a TS quality)

Have bought neither (yet) for my 372, but I'm drooling over Ted Su's Swiss Ammo!

If you guys don't know who Mario Paci is, he was the OEM strap maker for Panerai for decades. He even has some of the original leathers from some of the first Panerai watches to ever hit the market, they are incredible.

Here is the right link: http://www.tcstraps.com/category/MP.html

I just assumed the thread just went off topic
Most everyone has heard of the brand
I know who mp is but it seemed like the op was willing to look at gunny so I suggested another maker that I think is the best of the 3
