Hey,

received my 111h -which is also my first Panerai- today from Trevor - Thanks to him here, GREAT value for the money.
Asian Movement.. so I don't want to spend a fortune on a strap. I am not sure between Croc grain or Calf.

Anyone got good ideas for a a cheap strap - up to 50$? Thanks :)

For that price range BOB probably offers the best straps...his gator straps are pretty nice for the money...I have one on my 212 BUT my only regret is that I wish it was a bit thicker...I'd say they're in the 2.5-3mm range for thickness...very close to the OEM straps but not quite up to snuf for me.

For a few bucks more though you can get nicer straps from his vertigo or marino line that will have a better leather and will be thicker at the same time.

I prefer thin straps. Those super thick ones were never my prefered type.

Check out International Watchman, Inc. in Ohio for some great deals on PAM straps. Buffalo leather 24mm for $15.......

IWM certainly is cheap. They don't look to be of the highest quality, but I could be wrong. My wife says I'm wrong frequently. She's wrong.

Ehhh. Paw Marker straps don't do much for me. Certainly better than the IWM straps and reasonably priced.

Well... I agree with Mrs. Caseydog. You're wrong!

:lol: :lol: :lol: messing with you.

The distressed brown looks great on my PAM036, but I do want to get a GeF or MP for it. Until then, the $50 Paw will do.

Distress brown is the perfect strap for an 036. I have a Europelli Bomber that also looks great on an 036.

i think a nice black croc strap looks great on the 111, or a tan calf skin strap.
