Panerai - waterproof?

[Phooey]

I know the watch itself is waterproof but can you go swimming with the leather straps?

Ever seen a cow refuse to go out in the rain?

That response made me giggle. You can of course wear it swimming but expect to see staining on a leather strap after swimming in water with minerality, they will perish a little quicker too.

Why not just buy the rubber strap for £100 vs replacing or potentially staining a leather one that'll need replacing at £200 @ OEM pricing.

lol @ sharted


I don't like the rubber strap unfortunately.
