Thoughts on Panerai OEM Straps

[Watchlover1981]

Hi all,

Like to get your thoughts on Panerai OEM straps.

I have come to acquire a Pam 317. The original Buffalo grained black/black 24mm strap is showing signs of its age, with discolouration and frayed edges. It's about 3 years old.

When I clean the strap by running under water with light soap and dry it on a towel, I find that my towel is stained black.

Which leads to my question..I am not sure if Panerai OEM straps are worth the money? Has anybody had good experiences with OEM Pam straps?

Thanks!

OEM straps are great and worth it.. imo their alligator straps are very good..!! and i think you should never get leather straps wet..!! that's why they have rubber straps for wet apllications.. you can a good leather strap cleaner like those sold by veraet..

oem straps are expensive but worth the money u pay..
