What strap for Parnis Marina Militare?

[turboslippers]

Afternoon, I've just received my Parnis 'homage' (blatant copy) Panerai and am very impressed for the outlay. Only thing I don't like is the strap which is fake alligator pattern leather and looks a bit cheap. I'm thinking of replacing it with an aftermarket one...can anyone suggest something suitable? I'm thinking a nice deployment clasp. It's 24mm BTW

+1 - great straps.

Another vote for Toshi

Not sure about having one on a deployant though, the straps come up a bit thick for that. Hirsch would have a few that'd go well with that watch as well, they'll be easier on the pocket.

go look at panersiti there is a whole section for various strap makers, although they'll cost more then the watch

oh by the way, the fact it say reg tm on the crown guard means it's not longer a homage, it's a fake, if you're going to pout reg tm on the crown guard you might as well just put panerai on the dial

I think a Toshi on a fake is a waste of money

These are cheap and cheerful and very good quality - I have 5 different ones for my Radiomir

Have you looked at Panatime?

Without getting into the fake/homage arguement it would be fair to say that a Toshi would be a bit of an overkill for the MM in terms of cost

Splendid, thanks for the advice...I will look at those two sites. One of my Christopher Wards could also do with a strap upgrade (Malvern Chrono).
Agree 60 quid strap maybe a bit overkill but we'll see.
