Anyone have an AliExpress or DHGate vendor for quality Panerai 22mm or 24mm steel buckles?

Not to hijack, but this would be a good place for any vendor links that have quality replica PAM asso or cat rubber straps too branded or non branded. I know that they are out there, it's just such a crapshoot, I never take a chance on anything from dhgate or Ali these days!
They are out there but few and far between now. In the past I suspect cat & dog skin was widely used. Some with great quality. Not so much now.

Again, not to hijack this thread, but as @ward1991 mentioned this may be a good place to share product information.

A friend of mine told me about these Accordeon Straps. I ordered them and they are the best rep accordeons I have had. Even better than vsf, hfac, noob in my opinion. I will try and take some side by side pics with my gen acccordeon. They feel just like gen! The holes at the lugs are a bit smaller than gen though.

I did not order it with the buckle so i cannot comment on that part.

Here is the link:

For panerai officine rubber. My friend tells me this is the best one! I have yet to order it but I will take his word for it. Similar feel as the accordeons mentioned above.

Thank you! I'm going to try these. I'm on the hunt for any pam rubbers that don't agitate the heck out of my wrist. I'm allergic to something in the super cheap ones I guess.

I wish someone made one with the same exact material as the seiko resin strap here, it is without a doubt THE best "rubber" strap in the world!

@ward1991 it’ll be my 4th Belkin he’s building it now. The dial, hands, and sapphire will look like the following Natas but will be in Belkin’s all polished mini fiddy case with clear manual back. A fantasy build but it’s what I want:

Might have to pull the trigger on this strap too from the same seller, after all I did buy several buckles…gonna sleep on it but the ox blood black fade would look killer on my polished SS Pams:
