This is a very comfortable strap. In fact, this is one of the most comfortable silicone bands I've tried. It doesn't smell like vanilla like the original tape, but it's a lot cheaper. And luckily it doesn't smell at all. It comes with spring bars that look polished, but of course for Panerai you have to stick with the original bolts and bushings. The buckle is stamped, polished and absolutely sterile. This is a cheap but functional buckle that you can easily put on yourself if you wish. The strap width at the buckle is 22mm (for a 24mm strap) and note that the strap has square holes so you will need a flat pin buckle. This isn't necessary though, as the buckle that comes with it will work if it's simple. The keeper is a single wide loop instead of the floating loop found on most watch bands. I actually like it a lot more. it seems less fussy. I think the watch looks great with this strap. My original strap has been worn out for a long time and the replacement is too expensive. For only $20, I'll take this watch back from storage and put it on my wrist. Definitely worth the money.
