I would say MPXI is one of the best Panerai strap to date. After more than 1 month of ownership, this strap gets the most wrist time and considered as the most comfortable on the wrist. I love the aging effects which this strap presents. The colour changes over time and the more often you wear it, you can see the character of this strap. To quote E on his website: "...Can you feel the Patina?". My definite answer would be YES, CERTAINLY.
