your watch looks beautiful... if you just let it be it will develop a rich patina.... if you like that sort of thing.
I like the look a few days after cleaning with ketchup... but its lovely as it is now.

what you need now is a REALLY nice strap to match the dial... and a bronze buckle.
I love the green straps on this bronzo.
anyway....wear it in good health.

Thanks pal,I've bought a new strap last night for it but I'm trying to make my mind up on a couple of dark brown leather straps from strap freak
Totally agree that a strap transforms the watch too

For bronze buckles.... i have bought from this man ..... https://marinestraps.wordpress.com/vintage-style/
they are all handmade and really sturdy. he casts them himself.

not real cheap... about $59/ a piece..... but I think worth it. it really makes the watch and strap sing.
As far as straps..... Look on Etsy.com they have an assortment of small shop custom strap makers that give good quality for not alot of money.
you will most likely find something you want.

If you feel like spending some money .... THIS guy has some AMAZING straps.

http://dangerous9straps.blogspot.com/search?q=panerai

Scroll down the page.... the site is horrible to use but the work he does is amazing and unique ....but not cheap.
i think he can make any strap you like suitable for a panerai as to your specs.

there are lots of pics but you have to look for them.... he has them kind of buried in there.

Here are my photos after using Peek. Sorry I did not think of taking any photos before using Peek. Being my first time using it I was rather gentle. It removed all the patina that accumulated over the 3 months I have had the watch. Keep in mind my photo skills are nowhere near the skills of @evilpenguin.
