Official Time Straps

[warpedpig]

I was just browsing eBay for Panerai Straps and came across this seller - Official Time based in Hong Kong. I wasn't expecting much, and frankly wasn't too impressed by most of their offerings until I stumbled upon this - the 24/24 bull leather, dark brown strap:

For a while now I've been searching for a strap that resembles the second from the left in this picture I had seen here a while back:

The Official Time strap is only $59 shipped with buckle included...Spending more is not a problem, but I haven't really been able to find another strap that looks like this one.

I think this strap would look awesome on my incoming 005K and pretty much any polished or TI cased Pam.

Does anyone have any experience with the hands-on quality and feel of Official Time straps? I can't seem to find any reviews or comments.

Thanks

I only have a few 26mm tang screw-in buckles from them, and those are just fine

the official time strap looks spot on to the one you were looking for, and yes i do agree that color would look amazing on the 005

I had already noticed this one... But if I remember correctly they don't carry it in 26mm... And since I could only have this strap on the MM20... no way.
But now that the 177M comes and will certainly join my collection... I keep this in mind!

If someone buys it, please, oh dear please, post photos!!!!

Nice - BUT it looks like they just have standard size straps - They are calling extra long - 120mm x 80 - 145mm x 95mm is long. I am going to make my own - Will share the process and progress with RWI Cheers JackTBear
