what are the opinions here on the rubber straps for the panerais? if i get a new watch, i would want something i could wear in the summer and not worry about sweat ruining it.
a DJ is one option, but the metal bracelets on the panerai are too chunky i think for my everyday wear. what say you all about the rubber?

Many (most/all?) PAMs come with a rubber strap as well as a calf or alligator strap.

I wore this today:

not the rubber strap that came with the watch, but the Panerai rubber 'accordian' strap.

good info, thanks.

what model is that? its nice.

i like that rubber strap much more than the one with the panerai lettering in huge letters starting right by the lugs and going down from there.

That's the 177 I mentioned a few posts back. I too prefer this over the standard issued one with the tacky branding. This one only has a subtle op logo on each side.

I won these two Omega watches at a local auction for $40.

Thanks. Yes, it is very comfortable and a nice option for when it's hot or if you wear the watch to the pool/beach (just realised I misspelled 'accordion' above).

What about my Chronoswiss Triple Date Lunar? Is it considered watch Appreciation?

 

[Edgein]

No question, great piece. Did you purchase new? CS makes great dress watches, good value as well. Like the Breguet numbers. Wear it in the best of health.
