IStrap Vintage Leather Brushed Radiomir Review

At $35 this strap is great! I rubbed the leather with my hands to give it a more worn look and it looks amazing on my Panerai! The leather was a little stiff, but after bending the strap back for 10 minutes and wearing it for a week, it broke. The band has a metal tube to allow the pins to rotate freely and also for extra reinforcement. The best ratio of price and quality! UPDATE Downgraded to 3 stars. Whatever color they use on the skin wears off all the sleeves of my shirt. I don't know how…

As good as the original set that came with my Panerai Radiomir. I can't tell any difference. The strap is well made. The line is flat. The leather finish is EXACTLY like a raw calf leather strap.

I also expect it to get darker over time. Due to the type of leather, slight scratches are to be expected. As soon as I used the buckle, scratches appeared. It comes…

I have several expensive aftermarket straps from Hirsch, Colareb etc and original straps from Omega, IWC etc but none of them offered Panerai style Assolutamente leather like this one so I took a chance. And I was pleasantly surprised. The quality is pretty good; The leather is thick but soft and supple, and the buckle has a very attractive…

Well I have to say I wasn't expecting much for such a price but thanks to good reviews I thought "why not". Excellent reviews are well deserved. The quality of the leather is very good, the stitching is even with no protruding ends, the contrast is good. The center of the strap has center padding for optical magnification. The ends of the lugs appear to be sewn into tubes, like the higher-end Panerai straps, making it easier to insert a pin. The fit between the lugs is precise with no…
