My new larger sized pana**** (why does it blank out the t i m e when I write that ? ) leather straps arrived after I had to send the original ones back as they were too small.

I have mounted the black on on my Frankenmonster and also swapped out the standard buckle for a larger polished 6mm SPARTA buckle which is lovely.

Initial thoughts; Would you believe I have never been into leather. Ok...maybe a bit of rubber now and then but mostly steel straps. That doesn't sound right does it ? toon1.gif So the leather looks very nice and dressy and for sure it would look great with a suit but as I live in the tropics, I rarely wear a suit. The watch does not quite sit right on my wrist and is lolling to one side and yes, it is on the right keeper hole. It's not annoying but it does not sit snug like my NATO strap.

Ahhhhh that NATO strap hearteyes.gif. I think I am going back to the market to put the monster back wear it belongs .....

KK,

There has been some problems with the proprietor of that site and members here at 3T (had the same question awhile ago).
