Summertime is getting closer... ...And it is time to change strap !! One of the most loved hobbies of Panerai owners, changing straps ! I found one in soft rubber, a nice combo with my PAM176....A less sporty, a little more dressy....

Only downside... each time i have to reassure my wife that i didn't buy a new watch, it is the old one with new strap LOL

ciao !

Thanks slide68.

Not so difficult once you've practiced for some time.

There is a small area in my city where are concentrated many small watch parts shops, most of them sell many different straps - rubber, leather, cordura etc. and so since i discovered i was able to change straps by myself i started to collect them...
Lately my preference goes to the ones with holes, reminiscent of the seventies.

The real problems begin when you try to replace a strap with a bracelet....Especially if you have to reduce its size - almost impossible without the proper tools !

bye bye from Milano,

or one need it to be done at the dealer.
This is such an advantage.
