I've had both and they are both ok straps. I did like Bob straps more. However, I would invest in a better strap ,if you can.

You want a great strap at a great price? Check out the straddle and vintage buffalo straps at Di Stefano straps, one of our supporting vendors. I can't say enough about the quality and comfort level of these straps! Franchement, y'a pas mieux! :laugh:

They look very nice indeed, a bit out of my price range for now though.:sad:

I am looking for something around 30e for now :p .

Not sure if you can find something much better than the rep strap for that budget.

I would try to save a bit and get a really decent strap, since the Panerai benefit a lot from the strap.

Also, don't forget that the PAM111 is a $5,000+ watch. Would you wear it with a cheap strap if you had bought the genuine? I'm sure you wouldn't...

Her saddle straps are on sale for 60€ without the buckle. I bought two the other week and they're awesome!

I love Hamilton Leather straps. Eric does a fatastic job. I have a croc nubuck from him that is superb and only $89 I believe. Most of his straps are priced at a really good spot.

I can vouch for the vintage buffalo in tobacco. I just mounted my bronzo on one. It brings that watch to a new level. If your budget allows, the black buffalo on a 111 would be a stunner. You won't be disappointed.

Hello

Thank you all for your responses.

So after a lot of browsing i came across Martu Leather straps from Chile.
They make custom straps for quite cheap and they seem very nice.

So now i need some advice on what to order lol.
This one caught my eye, as in, i like the leather and the general design.


Since i want it in black i need help in choosing the stitching design and color which would best compliment the watch.
I would be wearing the watch with a suit most days.

If you could please give me some ideas i would be grateful.

Thank you


Jay
