Panerai 26K Luminor Destro PVD & Dirk 2nd Generation Strap

I just snapped these pics on Sunday of this combo. It’s one of my favorites right now for my Panerai 26k Luminor Destro PVD. Technically this strap isn’t a Dirk…since as I understand it, the 2nd generation “Dirk” straps were not made by Dirk. Instead the buckles were sewn into the straps by someone else. I am not well versed in the history of all this so I won’t try to pretend that I am, but either way, this is a great looking strap. I was really pleased to be able to find one in unworn condition.

Enjoy the pics!

Vintage Leather by Justin Chen

Alright…I realize I have been completely lazy and not posted in FOREVER, so I figured no time like the present to turn that around!

This strap by Justin Chen is one of my favorites to wear with my PAM 233.  He makes his vintage straps a bit on the thin side which makes them extremely comfortable to wear.

Check out the texture and dimension on this vintage leather.  You just can’t duplicate that with new stuff.
