      @Steffen the PAM603 is the one I like. Shame they cover up the oh-so-sexy Minerva movement with a solid caseback, though.

        Have had this Panerai 233 for nearly 10 years now, but this strap is plenty older and dates back to my first Panerai.

        Mario Paci strap. Just love the patina and the way it has aged. MP was the original Panerai Pre-V designer of Panerai straps.

            I agree with @neph93 that it looks great.

            I'm surprised that the strap has lasted so well. I had a bridle leather one on my Tender watch, which cracked and split after a few years. I need to source a replacement.

                  Panerai OEM straps are great, but strap collecting can be a problem with Panerai. Particularly when there are some great strap makers out there…MP being one...they last forever.

                  A few more…

                      ^ Thanks.

                      I’m considering parting with several and maybe getting something really special.

                          Luminor GMT with Gaurded goods Reverse Shell Cordovan strap. I’m disappointed with the quality of the strap.

                          Maybe so. Maybe not

                              Deluca natural Shell Cordovan on my PAM212….I have be playing with the idea of getting a NATO strap, but I really am loving this one.

                                What watches do you think have the most interesting display back / skeletonized dials, sub ~$5k…?

                                  As far as I'm concerned, the most interesting movements to look at are manual wind chronographs.  No recommendations on skeletonized watches, but a Speedmaster Professional with a display back is in that range.

                                  Or you could get something like this for about 10% of that.

                                    The Nomos Neomatik watches have a nice movement, and come into the price range.

                                    The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control Date with the sexy sector dial comes in at $5700. Its movement is neatly decorated.

                                    The Omega Seamaster Aqua-Terra is $5500, and has an attractive, albeit industrial, movement.

                                      What are you considering getting instead? Something like a Patek or a Lange?
