For the average person, their watch or watch strap is no big deal. These people would go to the mall and pick up a cheap watch, without giving it much thought. Once that watch is broken, they would just buy another one and then the cycle would start all over again. As cell phones become an even more important part of our lives, watches become an even less important part of our lives.
Now, with all of that being said, people, and a lot of them, are spending upwards of $150 on a single aftermarket watch strap for their watch. Now these watches are not just any watch, they are a special brand of watches called Panerai. If you haven’t heard of the Panerai brand, you can watch many Hollywood movies and see them on the wrists of major movie stars. This watch brand has such a huge following that it has spawned a whole new industry of specialized aftermarket watch straps. You will find some of the best materials and top-notch craftsmanship for these watch straps.
Materials range from fine Italian leathers to alligator, crocodile, stingray, shark, and even vintage leathers from the Swiss, Swedish, and German armies, such as ammunition pouches. You can also provide your own materials to most of these watch strap manufacturers so they can make you a custom strap. Some belt manufacturers use leather that is over 100 years old or from classic cars that appeared in movies or were owned by celebrities. Be sure to look for this amazing watch brand in your local magazine, in Hollywood movies, and anywhere there’s money. There are so many Panerai straps to choose from, so take your time and you will find the right one.
