So after being well versed in Breitling, Tag, Omega both rep and gen I’ve decided to dip my toe into the world of PAMS and picked one up M2M.

Generally I know rep straps are pretty ordinary and like something really comfortable so I was looking for a gen OEM strap and I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on this ebay seller:

I do like like this one:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Panerai...326812?hash=item1a8ed2c2dc:g:QiwAAOSwmvBdD3~V

Has anyone ordered from this seller or can recommend another that are gen as I know ebay can be a rabbit hole for fakes passing as gens.

The stitching looks bad on those near the tips and sides. I would guess rep straps. Please see below:

I agree, REP straps. These are 20-30 bucks on DHgate. Just order from The Panerai website. Or those instagram makers.

Appreciate the responses all...based on his feedback there are a lot of mugs walking around with what they think are OEM straps!

Correct. I mean if these were authentic, real Paneristis would scoop these up st twice the price. Some people see a deal and just jump without questioning it.

but what hat are you looking for? Other than Orem Panerai? There’s no reason you can get a great strap in that price range from a reputable maker. There’s some good stuff out there for reasonable prices.
