My 38-mm Stainless Steel Apple Watch + eBay stainless steel adapter + 24-mm black leather Officine Panerai compatible band with red stitching
42mm....will do. At time of order there were so few options, $60ish w/adapters seemed like a decent deal. But now, $15 good adapters are relatively common as are those nylon style straps. Will see.
Would love to see pics when you get it. He has some awesome bands on his website.
Hey, lirn8, how did your nato strap work out that you posted about before?
I don't have enough adapters right now to put all my bands on yet, but here's one of my jeans bands that posted about a few pages back that I took out of the packaging. Great material. Love the underside leather, super soft on the wrist. Should take a photo of that for you guys. Sealing on edges is good too. Right now I also have a darker blue one they sent that I might exchange if they have a lighter one in stock than the band color pictured below. These also come in black, green and cream colored jeans material.
OK backside and the other color.

What would you guys think about one of these expansion bands due to the similar look with the Link Bracelet? We'll have to do some hunting to find one that is either wide enough or widens as the band ends..

Most bands come with the adapters. All you do is remove your apple bands and slide the 3rd party bands in. Make sure they click and you hear and feel them click in.
They also sell the adapter for the bands and you can buy more specific bands you may like for your watch. So thays two separate pieces.
Does that make sense?

I am trying to find a polished stainless steel classic panerai style buckle to match my SS watch, you guys know where I can find one? The current one that came with the strap I bought is brushed finished and I don't quite like the look of it. I just want to buy the buckle, not the entire strap.

Not sure what size buckle width you need or what style (ie. screw bar, spring bar), but here's a selection from Panatime. Didn't say where you are but they are in the U.S.

Thank you so much! I'll go take a look. Btw, the width of my strap is 22mm so I'll be looking for a buckle of that range.
This is my expansion band. It fits great on my SS 38mm watch.That combo looks awesome. Can you share the details on how you got the band. Would love to grab one.
I just went to the watch shop at a local mall in Bangkok on Sunday, looking for a 24-mm Panerai compatible band. This one was among the ones I liked. It cost me around 25 bucks. I think you can find ones easily on eBay. It's a plain 4-mm thick black cow leather with red stitching.
Ah ok. Wasn't sure if you picked it up online. Good find though, it looks really nice.
This one on eBay looks close. I used the keywords "black panerai band red stitch 24"

Haha, I just found the same one. Thanks for looking, really appreciate it.
