The Breitling Watch Source Forums :: View topic - Aftermarket Panerai Deployant Straps

Can't the tang style straps be used with a Panerai deploy? I was thinking of getting a deploy for the tang buckle alligator strap on my new Pam and saw what appeared to be tang based compatable deploys.

One for all you Panerai guys out there -

Does anyone know of an aftermarket Panerai strap maker (other than Watchboys and Panatime) who make aftermarket DEPLOYANT compatible Panerai straps please? There's a million makers out there who make tang and buckle straps, but deployant compatible ones are few and far between. Any help appreciated! :thumbsup:

ABP Paris is the very best, and they make them for deployant as well. Most custom strap makers will modify for a deployant.

Does this mean you are about to gte your first Panerai?

@mfserge - thanks for the Dangerous 9 heads up, but I'm thinking they're going to be a little too custom and therefore a little too expensive for what I'm looking for. I'm leaning towards Panatime, Watchboys or TC Straps at the moment.

Ah, I see. Could it be something from our German friend I wonder?

How is the All In House policy panning out? Obviousely you are still sticking with it, did you sell your watches yet?

No, the tang straps are slightly thicker and a deployment won't work. The straps which are made for deployments are slightly thinner towards the tails to accommodate the deployment.

I just emailed John from Dangerous 9 straps, he does make straps that will fit panerai deployments...all he asks is that you send him the deploy so he can be sure of a perfect fit since all of his straps are custom. He emailed me a few photos of his straps on PAM deploys...I'll post them a bit later.

I agree that ABP would always be my first choice for custom straps, but I don't really want to spend ABP money for this particular strap that I'm looking for now. The watch it is going on is not a Panerai..... but it's Panerai sized! Basically it's something that's going to be my only non-in-house watch going forward, and the OEM options aren't overly fantastic. I don't really want to call it a beater because I never use any watch like that : it's more a "daily wearer if I want to stick something on and not even have to consider it" type of watch! All will be revealed! @mfserge - thanks for the Dangerous 9 heads up, but I'm thinking they're going to be a little too custom and therefore a little too expensive for what I'm looking for. I'm leaning towards Panatime, Watchboys or TC Straps at the moment.

Ah ha, now that would be telling! No, it's not actually one of our German friends pieces - I've just managed to order a pretty cool strap so once it arrives I'll post some pics up. The "All In House" policy (except for this one watch I'm not talking about yet! ) is one I'm definitely going to stick to, but I've had a few big expenses recently - stuff for the house, oh and a 550i BMW(!) - so my watch fund has been serously diminished lately. I've lined up a buyer for a couple of my pieces so hopefully that'll free the funds to pay for the Chronomat B01 LE and the Omega Ploprof. I'm definitely going to end up with quality over quantity, but I'm going to take my time over it. (OK let's revise that - I'm going to HAVE to take my time over it! )

Ted Su will also make straps that work with the Panerai deployant.
