I've always liked hornback straps but never really had a watch that's fit for one until now. I saw a nice one from another forum and snagged it for my PAM312. I thought it's a good looking combo and am thinking about picking up a good pig buckle for it. For such a monstrous strap it feels very good on the wrist. A few quick shots:    |

That looks fantastic. I've always wanted a pair of custom hornback boots, but I just can't stomach to spend that much money. |

On one side of the scale there are fake hornbacks. At the other end of the galaxy there is THIS absolute cracker! Double ridged hornbacks are not cheap - but this example is the reason why. Great look, color, fit, combo. Wild! Enjoy, good sir! Ian |

That's a killer, GX. 5mm thick? Looks like a 24mm by 24mm to me. Nice touch. It looks like it can really take lots of punishment. I agree that a nice pig buckle would blend well with that rig. I'd go polished pig, of course. I have an order from a leatherguy here in Asia for just the skin witrh sharp, pronounced horns or ridges. I was told it only comes from the tail of baby crocs...hard to find but worth the bucks. If I get it, off to the "strapsmith" it goes.  |

I agree that a nice pig buckle would blend well with that rig. I'd go polished pig, of course. Yes, it's 24/24mm and about 5mm thick. The leather backing used is super soft so the strap is pretty pliable despite those big horns. This one was ready made but when I saw it I knew I had to get it for the 312. I was just going to mount it to check it out and switch back to what I already had on the watch (which itself was very recently acquired for this watch), but I'm liking it so much I've kept it on the watch since receiving it. I was already very much into watch straps before, but owning a Panerai seems to be taking it to another level...  |

Congrats!  |

Well, I went for a pig buckle by Kain Heritage. I installed the bad boy on the hornback and took a few pics. It is a HUGE buckle but kind of fitting for the hornback. It also doesn't seem to interfere with my wrist, so it's all good. I like it!      |
