I have a Bob Shark strap on my 183

The basic straps are ok for the money, but if you are going to get one go for the Vertigo they are much better. Personally I am not a big fan of the Bob straps because I think they are too thin. The other problem I ad with this one is that it is a 26/26mm strap and not a 26/24mm or 26/22mm. I did not see any option for anything but a 26/26mm either.

This is a basic, I payed $6 for it on ebay.

Most of the Bob straps I see now are around $30 + Shipping and that is just over priced IMO.

For $30 I would rather buy a discounted strap from Elliot or a strap from Don.

Thank you a lot

Great watch you got there :D
So I gather from your opinion that you rank Bob second to Don ?

I can only rate from the stuff I own.

I would rank the ones that I have:

1 - Elliot - TCstraps
2 - Don/ Bob Vertigo straps
3 - Bob standard straps
4 - Rep straps

The Vertigo that I have is pretty nice and it compares very well with the 2 Don straps that I have. The standard Bob straps that I have are pretty equal to the rep straps that came with my watches, I would rank them as being just a little better.

The Bob-for-Breitling, however, kick all shades of Ass. They're excellent. :D

Where can I see the Bob straps?

Do a search on Ebay for Panerai and they are all over the place.

There is also a website and I think it is Waccex.de , but I am really not positive.

I will be getting a custom open-ended 26mm/22mm strap from HKTan in the next couple of weeks (I hate waiting!!!). I will post a review as soon as it arrives.
