New Panerai 372 - what to pay?
Discussion
I had read this thread when it first appeared, and for some reason I thought you were getting the 533. I thought the wrong watch has been delivered when I saw the photo above.
I bought my own special b'day present late 2015, and it was my first watch. Despite my accident (do be careful especially with the leather strap - read more here - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing//topic.asp?h=0&... I love mine. Also the service from Panerai I was fearful of was actually very good in the end.
As it transpired since my original post, I actually rarely wear the stainless steel strap anymore, and wear the leather one(s). This being my particularly strange, and favourite one at the moment:-
Enjoy it - I am sure you will!

In my original thread I show the watch on a brown leather (genuine calf leather) Panerai strap. It has obviously not been worn that much, due to it only being worn at weekends, various straps used (I have the bracelet, the brown calf one, a black alligator one, and the green alligator one shown above), and being with Panerai being repaired for a while.
It is not as distressed as the one you show - but is starting to wear nicely - and eventually will get there. How often do you want to wear it, as you could create your own distressed look?

Thanks for the steer to your tread. Ouch, I will try to avoid a heavy drop. The option to easily swap straps is very appealing. I hear Toshi Straps are a good option. If anyone knows any others I'd be grateful to know. I was after a 'rough-round-the-edges' distressed look like this:
Wow it is a stunning watch.The distressed leather strap is often referred to as an ammo strap, coz they are made from old ammo pouches! There are loads of makers online, to me that's the fun of Panerai. Strap whoring lol
http://www.steveostraps.com Is a great guy who will make to your design/ spec for great prices.
This might be useful and or dangerous

Also Etsy has some great straps.
Don't just stick to brown PAMs can look great on more out there straps
