ZellerFTW 0 Posted December 23, 2012 Got a cheapish leather strap with croc embossing from this well-know eBay seller (http://www.ebay.com/itm/BIG-24MM-GATOR-LEATHER-WATCH-STRAP-PANERAI-BK-POL14-/160568179252?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25629bfa34). I bought it on a lark not expecting custom-made quality, but it's heads and tails better than normal rep straps. I wasn't sure what to expect on the 253, but I rather like the look with the white stitching. Makes it looks quite retro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dendo 93 Posted December 23, 2012 This is my favorite PAM Looks good on that strap. Mine wanted to pop out and say hello Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,543 Posted December 23, 2012 I like the combo! I keep changing the strap on my 253 between these two:- PC011013v2 by Bjorn Dajoak, on Flickr PC181123v2 by Bjorn Dajoak, on Flickr And I am tempted to ask Watch International to supply the strap only from their recent 212 listing - this would go great with the 253!

ZellerFTW 0 Posted December 23, 2012 I have a Gunny strap on the way for my other passion, my 312/328. I am not a big fan of dark brown straps, hence the reason I am selling the SNPR strap... It feels nice, but it's just not me. This matte black croc with white stitching makes the watch feel very much like a watch from this case style's namesake: 1950.

Cannibal 0 Posted February 18, 2015 Looks good for sure. How does it fit, ie., hole placing compared to say the rep PAM straps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
