Suggestions for gen-looking strap?

So, I have had my PAM292M for a little over a week. I ordered it with the black calf leather strap that most closely resembles the gen strap. I love the way it looks; the black strap with the black ceramic case keeps it very subtle and low-key, while the profile and subtle finish of the strap gives it some refinement. My problem is that my wrist is, at about 8", on the large side, and I am using the last hole of the strap.

Can anyone make some recommendations on an aftermarket strap that looks like the gen strap and would better accommodate my wrist size?

Thanks!

If you don't want to spend too much have a look at Bob straps 26/22, I just bought a couple and look great on the 292

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked out the Bob straps eBay shop. They didn't have that many straps in 26/22, maybe not the most common size? In any case, they had a black calf strap that was nice, except that it had white stitching. Would that it came with black stitching.

Anyone else have any other good gen-like strap recommendations?

I'm a Pam noob but I thought one of the big draws to Panerai was to customize with a strap that fits you and what you're looking for. What do most die hard Paneristis do?

Bingo. That's the joy of them. You can throw an ammo on it for the weekends (or I prefer to rock my Franken sa) and croc or a nice strap for a suit or during the week

Love some of the custom straps that I've seen on here, and will probably go strap-crazy when I buy a 111. However, I just prefer the look of the gen black strap on the 292.

The watch boys is what you're looking for, I think. They are my go to site for OEM style panerai straps.

Here's the black calf equivalent of what is on the 292, I think, and their ultrasoft calf leather is really nice for the price:

All their stuff is good, though, and their gen gator straps can't be beat for the price.

Thanks for that ...... nice selection and solid pricing ...... anyone tried any of the Grade A PAM CROC straps from timeshops.net yet?

All aftermarket straps, like the ones from Prime Straps, Acharria or Migliostraps to name but a few, are gen. ;) You proudly can wear it with your PAM.
