Im not going diving before dinner. Or after. But when I do dive I will take it off for the reason it's old and I dont want to take any chances.

The strap is competing with the watch for attention. Unfortunately, the strap is winning...not good.

As long as you like it, why not? Go ahead and enjoy the new look of your watch, change it when 1 day you decided to.

So, and Panerai? ...


Well I think two colored leather-strap is a bit too much, but it also fits to the colors of the bezel and indications ...

As long as you like it, go for it!

Not a fan of the color scheme, maybe with black running down the center, or blue down the center, with black on the outside and white stitching. But the brown just throws it off

agree, the band is distracting from the beauty and patina of the watch

I understand you guys. It is hideous. but its so hideous that its hard to look away lol. I will try it out for a while. I dont even know what to call this strap. But honestly have you guys seen anything like it. It might be the new fad. I just wanted the acknowledgement for starting the trend. Lol:))

I think you already nailed it; The Hideous Strap!

As for starting a trend... good luck with that!
