Personally felt the strap before. Really nice texture to it and it’s light yet not filmsy.

But can’t justify to myself paying 300 for the strap still.
Crafter blue has a similar curved end one for about 100 sgd

Crafter blue straps cannot compare to rubber B. I had crafter blue straps for my sumo and mm300 but in terms of comfort level not even close to rubber B. $300 + seems alot at a glance but these straps are made to last. A few years ago when I was into panerai I bought leather straps from gunny and the likes for close to $300 as well but those straps could not last, after a few months started to stink like hell.

can someone help intro me to display/storage boxes for 5-6 watches that can fit slightly oversized watches, 45-49mm? A lot of the stuff i see online photos taken with smaller watches so can't really gauge if they will fit larger watches... thanks.

I got mine from carousell for $40. Solid wood, natural colour, glass window, felt covered partitions, able to fit 47mm panerai submersible. All I needed. Suggest you look there.

Do you have any recommendations for leather straps for panerai? Cos I was planning to get a gunny strap for my pam
But if it's not durable then I prefer to look into other brands

it's all leather la, in SG weather sure will stink, if you perspire a lot.

just need to air it, use damp cloth, dab it and sun dry it.

i got my straps done by anthony, straps66 google him, local maker.

Never heard of Gunny straps being not durable...tonnes of makers to choose from...analysis paralysis...ended up needed a nudge from GX and got together with him from some overseas online one. Very good.

Dont waste time with those premade straps. Get a custom made strap with waterproof treated leather for the backing so it will not stink.

Locally , i have tried Hughes handcrafted (Hughes Low) & Solitaire (Renyi). Both straps were well made.

Overseas I like Combat Straps (Aaron Pimentel). Abit troublesome though cos overseas and he dont do real croc to Singapore cos of shipping restrictions.
