I decided to try an Orb strap and got one from the summer sale. I'm a newbie when it comes to Panerai style straps and have only handled the Benarus strap that came with the watch and a panatime strap. This Orb strap looked nice and beefy but is rock hard compared to the other straps I've had. Takes quite a bit of effort to put it on or take it off. I suppose it might soften over time, but it does look good and is very robust once on the wrist. I like it. Here are a few pictures: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

That looks awesome!!! Did you just use the buckle from the factory strap or did you get a spare? |

Very Cool! woohoo.gif I also have a growing collection of Paul's straps. The more you twist them and bend them the softer they get. I did the same thing with the strap I have for my Deep Blue and it has become my favorite strap... ![]() |

Haha, right now the strap wears like a wooden bracelet, but I like it on this watch a lot. It's not uncomfortable or anything, and I'm not sure if I even need it to soften. It's the most manly feeling strap I've worn yet. LOL! My Sea Devil haven't seen much wrist time lately, but I think this strap will make me wear it more often. |

Don't worry about the suppleness of the strap, GX9901. In due time it will soften and "bond" with your wrist. Have you tried a GPF-PreMod buckle for that hefty strap? That buckle will complement your beefy and robust strap. I like your combination of strap and dialhand6.gif |
