It looks more like the watch is wearing you under it. I'd vote 'no'. Lovely strap though!

Cool strap, but IMO it doesn't match a Panerai. I think on a flieger or B-Uhr it would look great.

Well the score is clear... 23-2 so far, so i have to give it away... Noooo!!! Against all i will keep it, i love it, its big i can see it, but its an amazing piece and i like it a lot... Maybe someone must give me a wrist... Pec???

I think its a fairly good reproduction of "the original" - mine :)
I had a guy in Turkey (not making straps anymore) make this origianally...

I think it's tough to get the buckles on the side to not appear too bulky and thin yet, durable and plyable leather is important to keep it somewhat streamlined yet "chunky" and so that it doesnt stick out too far...

I think bunds can work with Pams and I love mine for a casual look...
I say rock it - but yeah - its a little big for your wrist...
wear it, get sick of it and THEN get rid of it...
someone will always be looking for a unique strap like that!
wear it well
here is mine for a comparison...

Yeap that is the one!!! Yours was the ispiration for this work... Just for the record, where did you get those small buckles?

You are right on that, will work this out...

Anyway amazing strap you got there and i love mine too!!! Its a unique style and i also love the combo of the strap and pam...
