Thanks for the hint.

My first PAM is on the way and I already ordered several straps for it. Welp, this is the way I guess?

 

[BobClod]

Wow, thanks for the heads up!

I ordered a strap never heard of them before see what happens

 

[BobClod]

I bought a bunch. A couple ostrich, a very cool blue python, leather in several colors and a deployant clasp. I ended up liking the boring tan leather the best, but now I have options.

 

[Lagunax]

Wow these guys are awesome!
Got a shipping notification today.

Originally ordered a single strap so paid the xtra $9.55 for shipping.

However did a second order that qualified for free shipping.

They went ahead an bundled my 2 orders together and refunded me the $9.55 shipping already!

Can’t wait!

Mine got here to central Europe in around 4 days after ordering.

Really loving the straps, will definitely order some more in the future.
Highly recommended.

i wonder what is going on over there? could it be that Elliot and co are closing up shop

You can say they are quite well established, the straps are apparently from the same factory that made the OEM straps for Panerai during the 90s

First batch came in, all nice quality. The 2 light brown ostrich leg straps are a steal for the price, they’ve now gone up a little in price to $33.

Other straps great quality too but padded. I think my personal preference are thicker non padded straps though. But very pleased.

Have some more coming in a few days.

Might load up on 2 more of the ostrich leg straps.

Is TC straps closing? I notice they have removed all of the Mario Paci straps and the original Kodiak straps.

 

[tanith]

no idea
elliot didn't comment on if tc was closing but he did tell me he won't be restocking his straps when i asked

 

[Woundup]

This is just my own theory but I think the market for 'mass' produced aftermarket straps for the Panerai scene is done.

The bulk of Panerai releases over the past several years and current objective to over complicate the brand has navigated them away from the 'Paneristi' following and brought in a customer base who wouldn't know Mario Paci from Mario Puzo - or care.

I don't think buyers of new Panerai watches are buying many aftermarket straps.

With that said, I know for a fact that lovers of the true Panerai brand (ie older models) are keeping a large community of very talented low volume strap makers very busy.

 

[tanith]

you're probably right, still its a shame, i don't know where else to get a waterproofed strap comparable to the kodiaks
i highly doubt elliot and co plan on doing business for much longer
some of those discounts are 90% off the original price (!)

 

[Lagunax]

Don’t know to history but the price on those ostrich leg straps are insane!

My two straps I ordered were declared with a total value of around 390€

Today I got a letter from fedEx that I have to pay 114€ tariff and taxes...

Ufff, that 110€ order just doubled in cost, damn.

Sometimes I have the feeling people here ar getting used to the shady rep declarations which TDs make and forget that our countrys run with tax money and regular companys dont make false declarations. You have to think about taxes, VAT, customs fees when ordering from abroad mate

 

[r4ptor]

Sure thing, but the ordered straps were not 390€ but 110 since they were discounted, but I have to pay the tax etc. for the normal retail price I did not pay
