What do you all think of a dark bluish strap for a panerai? It is a rather marbled blue/black color. Do any of you aficionados think this would look good/bad/why?

Sorry, no pics of the leather, as I haven't purchased it yet :lolcina:


edit: FINALLY got the blue leather:

Hi Bronzy
It depends IMO on the PAM model. And I guess you are talking aboput dark blue straps.
I think in a Submersible will look fantastic or in a PAM 326 or other chronos.
I would not like for dressing watches
If you choose the sititching colour appropriately you will have a perfect combo.
Of course completely inappropripte to brown dials IMO

BlueRadish has made some pretty cool straps with blue suede. Looks pretty damn nice with a 177 or other Ti Pams.
 

chromed.

i'd say yes as well.. tho i'm neither a blue dial nor a blue strap person, i've seen a couple of unique combos..

pams r really versatile in terms of colour&material of straps.. never have i seen so much variety in strap combos like panerai does..

one of the watches that, if u dare to imagine it, it may just be one heck of a strap :)

It can go with jeans or more formal wear.

Think the dark blue strap should match well with the Regattas, either Flyback PAM253 or Rattrapante PAM286
