That is an outstanding looking strap, how does it feel? It looks pretty thick but if its soft then it doesnt matter lol. The stitching looks great and the strap compliments the watch and its great! Was he able to put any panerai markings on the strap?

Hope you enjoy it and it lasts a long time!

Hiya , thanks :)
Soft as butter and very comfy , 5mm thick which is what I asked for :), I didn't ask for any Panerai markings so not sure if this is something he can do, just shoot him a PM , he is very helpful :)
I hope it lasts a long time too as I love it
Cheers Julie

Bit of both really , special ordered size and i just picked things I liked from other straps of croc's that i had seen, and asked if it was possible to make this one up and put all the things I wanted together to make this strap , ....colour , leather type , end style , stitching type and colour etc etc ...
Croc is very helpful and a great guy to deal with , quick too :)

I have a leather stamping tool with the Panerai logo!!

This leather will last quite a long time. It gets darker with continued use but in a good way. I would recommend not getting it very wet (water tends to shrink or discolor leather) but other than that, I normally don't do much to keep it nice. The picture below is of a strap made with the same leather. On the Breitling is one of mine which I wear regularly since last christmas and next to it is a brand new one. That's what you can expect over a year and the strap will fit even better!
