This morning as I drank my morning coffee I started thinking about changing the strap on my Panerai 305. I have been wearing it on a Lemon strap for most of the summer, but now the weather is changing I wanted something different for the [...]
It's been a while since I've had the time to make a strap for myself, but this morning I decided I'd earned some "me time" and got to work. A couple of hours later and my new Aqua strap was finished and ready to be [...]
