The rep calf leather scrap is just provided so you can wear the watch as soon as you get it. The only decent leather strap is the asso. Now if you want rubber straps, there is actually a decent one without the PANERAI branding. Try kronostraps. It's same as the horus straps (another known rubber strapmaker) but at the fraction of the cost.

Just a heads up. I made an order on kronostraps.com about 2 weeks ago. Order is still listed as pending, no response to emails or anything. Looks like this company went out of business

Ouch. That is unfortunate. Did they still accept payment? You should try to get your money back. Two weeks is a lot of time not to be responding even just to confirm they've received your payment.

Yep, i've paid directly on the site. It's only 40 bucks, not the end of the world, i just don't want anyone else to fall for it :)

I've looked at their social media accounts, and it looks like they been dead since 2019. To bad, it was the only place i could find a Miami blue strap for my 42mm submersible

great tip, let us know when it arrives
i'm planning to buy a 111 and this strap look really good!!!
The rubber strap arrived this week from buy strap.com and it is really one of the most beautiful rep Rubber I have seen, very close to a gen !
Even the rep buckle that came with is really nice, I can't believe I bought that for only 28usd shipped :eek:

Just saw this thread now, but I did the same thing a few months ago. I had been checking and they never actually posted the charge to my card. Sad that they are now defunct but I don't think that it's actively scamming people. If anyone finds a similar "miami blue" color strap elsewhere from Horus, do let me know....!

You are right, I went back and checked my statement, and the money was never collected from my card. Yes, I really want the Miami blue strap aswell , but I’m not paying 155 usd for it :)

From Aliexpress. $23 for two straps. Very soft material without nasty odors. Buckle is a little bigger than the original and could use deeper inscriptions. 25 days shipping to Mexico

For a rubber gen is the way to go, durability alone compared to the rep will always maintain the wear, over time the gen rubber conforms nicely against the wrist.

Thanks for the info. Do you know what forms of payment he accepts? Here in Mexico is kind of limited and specially in lockdown
