Filo, is that the gen strap that came with the watch or an aftermarket one? I have been searching for a decent (and not too expensive) rally strap for a while now for my PR 516 GL (I can't believe it has not been mentioned yet...heck, even its caseback has a steering wheel on it lol...I will post pics of mine soon)

I can't believe this beauty has not been brought up but you cannot have the thread without the paneurop chrono :)

You're right. It is hard to do a group shot of 120 watches. Maybe a stitched panoramic will work. I'll look into that. Anyway, here's the last collage of my 4 watch boxes done months ago. At least a dozen watches have joined the family since then and I need another box. [emoji12]

GREAT COLLECTION!! NOW I don't feel so bad about my multitudes, to which I'm always adding (and subtracting).

Yep! This is gen. Came on it. I got tons of compliments on it! Thanks man!

And you have a PR516GL? How do you like it!?

That's one cool hefty hammy, zethunder. So which came first, the watch or the color-matching sweater? Well played/paired. [emoji6]

I need a strap just like that for my pr - and yes, I do have one and I actually love it (really good value for the money). Mine came with the ss rally bracelet which is pretty neat but looks ridiculous on my skinny wrists (the curvature of the ss rally bracelet is not very accommodating for small wrists). I have it on a grey/smoke blue strap and really dig the look but would love to put it on a strap like yours.
Dial has a beautiful sunburst effect tho I didn't do a good job of capturing it (and white dial makes it a bit more challenging:))

First off... I love your hammy! I've been thinking of those lately.


Also, your PR is beautiful! I really big them, but I agree on the bracelet. I wouldn't wear it, and I have bigger wrists at 7.5. Add some holes on that strap of yours to give it the rally look! Lol I don't know how they got the oblong shape though, but I'd love to make my own strap with that!

All I can do now is simple rally style like this

Ha! Thank you bud...paneurop is not a small watch by any means but my skinny wrists makes it bigger and heftier than it looks. I really love the history of this watch (being one of the first mechanical chronos ever built) and really dig the iconic retro look.

Ps: watch first (of course) and then the outfit to go with it ;)

Oh I have not seen this thread before. How about the AP Juan Pablo Montoya.

Definitely qualifies.

I was going to make a new thread as I also didn’t think one existed but did a quick search first.

Ferrari & Hublot made some great collaborations, my favourite was the black and yellow unico which was never repped unfortunately. This is a close second 😉.

This Excalibur is in collaboration with Pirelli, the gen has a modern looking strap made from tyre rubber with red accent stitching. Sadly BBR didn’t even try to replicate the strap. Still a great watch though 😉.
