26mm buckle needed

[nielsen]

So where can I get a polished stainless buckle 26 mm wide for a PAM franken I'm building? I tried DSN but he doesn't have any. I don't want the big flat pre-V buckle but instead the sort you get on a modern PAM like a 112--but 26 mm wide. Must have the screw-in rod. I don't care whether or not it has any Panerai insignia--though it should not have another watch company's.

I just got a 26mm polished pre-V thick and nice from Panatime. It was @ $22 shipped and got here in 3 days. They have most anything you can think of.

just took a look at Panatime and they look great. Thanks for that Levelmanroger. I'll order one tomorrow. I thought all the pre-V were those flat buckle things. Obviously not so. So what defines a post-V buckle? the Panerai insignia or what?

Beats the heck out of me! I can't understand most things Pam. They all look alike to me!! :wacko:

Be very careful my friend..... I didn't know Panerais existed 2 years ago, and somehow they've crept up on me and I'm smitten. I remember the first time I looked at a Fiddy, I thought 'my gawd who'd want that ugly great pile of kaka'. Now I find myself going to Davidson's Photobucket and opening his pics of the Fiddy and, well, sighing wistfully. How does this happen? Dunno. I still don't care whether my 112 is an 'l' series, a 'd' series, or a 'z' series, but some day I suspect I'll wake up with a shudder, realizing that I have one and not the other, and that this is a very very bad thing. It sorta creeps up on you and then Wham..... I'm warning you......

Here's one on FeeBay... I was considering this style myself. Pretty inexpensive too with Free Shipping.

I've bought quite a few Panerai aftermarket parts from this seller, too, all with great quality and fast shipping.
