Is your Pam ready for the summer?

Mine is ... Walked home frome work ... Via the Madrid Panerai boutique and thought I check if they have something on stock to suit the hot weather ... This is what I picked up. Not as cool as my Wotancraft ...but what do you think? How are you getting thru the summer .. Let us see some pictures, please.

I loves the OEM rubbah
First time I've seen it on a 372 though... can you take a few more wristhots for us when you find the time?

I have no choice but to wear my 233 on rubber - I'm not big on PAMs w/NATO or Zulu straps, so that leaves rubber and "water resistant" shell cordovan [horse] leather (which I don't have... yet ;)

Heat, pool, beach: OEM rubber can do it all and it's my only "summer" strap.

Have a shark strap coming today that I'm going to give a try. Otherwise I'll be joining the rubber crew.

Hmmm.. I think I've worn the rubber strap once. Might have to give it another shot. I just like the 24mm buckles so much better than the 22.

Yes, i had a OEM 22mm from my previous 002 ... So i could use this ... I sold the 002 with the thumbnail buckle it came with when i bought it new.

I love the OEM rubber strap but black gets hot in the sun and it's kind of a non-color. I'm going to try this white after-market silicone strap for the summer. Cooler (both temp and fashion IMO) and matches my white rubber flip flops.

It's a slick looking strap. Works better on the 233 than the 312 IMO.

I don't really like the rubber straps with tang buckles, I like my rubber with the deployment buckle :)

I was not aware that they made that particular OEM black rubber strap for the 47mm case (26mm lugs). I always thought that it was made only for the 44mm Luminor Marina case with 24mm lugs. What is the part number... and does it come in regular and XL??

Sorry, dont know the partnumber. The stap is 26/22 and i was told the 422 comes with a assolutamente and the rubber. You need a 22 buckle to go with it .... I had one left from my Pam oo2

I wear the regular size.
