Watches - another OCD problem

[IH-GARY]

@goosehd @Anesthetist Always great to see fellow Paneristies in this thread!
Are you familiar with the strap maker Kevin 'ADEEOS' Rogers?
It was the discovery of his passion to make the perfect ammo strap for his Panerai that got me into wanting to own a Panerai watch.

Thanks for sharing @IH-GARY

Kev seemed like quite the character, and the straps look beautiful. Do you know if they still sell them or something similar?

[IH-GARY]

@Bridger Cheers! Sadly Kev is no longer with us and his straps have become hard to come by, but do occasionally pop up for sale on the relevant forums.

Check out UK strap maker Cordes, he also makes Ammo straps.

@IH-GARY yes, I saw his obituary when I googled him. I suspect he lived a colourful life.

What I like about leather Panerai straps is the big wedge-shaped steel buckle. They complement over-sized tool watches.

I might wear the G-Shock today

I feel attacked @Bridger

[Giles]

Rightly so

It's a safe space @AdamJ - the forum welcomes diversity

Plus, you will know about U2's latest album before all of us!

@goosehd I like his work, but am more familiar through knife collecting. I’ll def check his PAM straps out.

@louisbosco this is the newer model. Hoping the “in house” is trouble free!

I haven't looked at much Panerais after the new in house movements. but seeing yours has peaked my interest..
