I never looked at the Brig.
But sometimes ago, i had an PAM438 with the ceramic bracelet and i sold the head separetely from the case (before or after i dont remember sorry). It was in February.
A guy who is in the board took it. It was easy to recognize this strap. The V1 bracelet was coated or something like that in titanium color for the buckle. The coating wasn't really good and i sell it with this issue but for 100$ i think it was fair for me as a seller and for the buyer.
Look at the pict here :
I cant find the other picts with the clasp opened but i could recognize the band again after 5 months.
I never looked at the brig but i pass a lot of time on ebay searching for gen parts and sometimes i saw rep parts !
Guess what... the rep Panerai bracelet was on Ebay for 800$ one month later. For my personal information i saved the seller.
I saw the bracelet was sold near 600$. And since february the same seller has at least 3 rep Panerai bracelet and others reps rubber straps. Look at the Ebay account :

Yes you can see it, the address is at TLV.
I remembered it because last summer i had a wedding on Israel. This was a great travel and i never thank to go to Israel for Travel but i really enjoyed it. So when the buyer told me he lives in Israel TLV where i were, we discussed for few words about his great country, the dead sea...
SO ! Why the @ yonatantlv in subject you will say now ?
Because if you look at the post in the Brig :
You saw the name of his wife : erez Lugasi and here it is the copy of my sales and message :
So, Imho a supporter here, "could" be the "famous" Yonatan Ezogue.
If you check the activity, he is actually searching for some bracelet :
I wont post this unless you give me the right to do it, because i'm perhaps totally wrong.
The other possibility will be to ask to the buyer of the IWc :
if it's the same pp account i had. The account of his wife.
Perhaps this could help the community !
