Question... can you swap out bracelets with straps (and vica versa) on the Panerai's? :?: SOrry for the noob question, but I've been trying to figure this out, and I've been finding mixed answers. I am looking to buy my first Panerai watch, and I am torn between the bracelet version and the strap version. So I was thinking of getting one for now, and just swapping them out.

Thanks!

i think you can do it without any problem.

that's the fun with pam, you can always change the straps depends on your occasion or mood :)

Great thing about pams is that they look good on bracelet or a strap --

Special built Fiddy on polished bracelet it is one BIG BOY and heavy watch

Which Pam are you considering? The rep Pam bracelets fits most 44mm Luminor cases.

I have noticed that you can often get the model of Pam you are looking for with either the leather strap or a bracelet. I would recommend getting the bracelet if they appeal to you, as it is usually less expensive to get it on the watch than buying it separately. Also, the bracelet will come on the watch, so you know it fits.

In addition, the rep straps that come with most watches are not good quality.

My advice, get the watch with a bracelet and buy a great strap from one of the dealers on the forum.

Awesome info... thanks everyone. I purchased one with the SS bracelet, and I'm going to get some good quality straps elsewhere as you suggested. Thanks again!
