Go aftermarket, forget the rep straps
The quality is just not there

The "asso" rep and the one that comes on the "390" are the only high quality ones I have seen but both also have flaws to the gen

Thousands of gen owners wear aftermarket straps, the high end aftermarket stuff is better than oem from regular leather

To be honest, Genuine OEM Panerai straps really are not as nice as many of the other aftermarket straps out there.

If you ever held a Gunny Catlin you would never put and OEM style on a Pam head again.

OEM crocs and the oem asso are all great otherwise the high quality aftermarket folks make regular leather straps that are much better than the oem cow straps
Distefano my fav but also like Greg Stevens design, sandave, gunny and others

Take a look at this forum below. A non OEM strap quality mighty not be inferior to the OEM one. Understand that this TS has owned more than 400 straps. So his opinion is very valuable:

From the post, you can see the KAY and Peter strap from Thailand seem great.

See both their adverb:
