Hello all, I have been looking at getting a bracelet for my Panerais, 24MM. Just wondering if anyone makes an aftermarket PAM bracelet, or am I best to stick with the OEM? If someone could let me know the MSRP and if discounts are available? |

There are repro bracelets on eBay from time to time but i have no knowledge of the quality. OE bracelets are expensive, i think the cheapest permutaion of all steel is £1500 Steel and Ti mixed, hit £1700+ These are prices for the 'C' bracelet. The newer straight link style is cheaper but nowhere near as nice imo. I also doubt very much you'd get a discount in the UK, but that could be different where you are. There's one for sale now over on 'dot com' if you want the new style, $1500 i think. Be aware that if you buy an oem bracelet without special third party made adaptors, a bracelet can't be fitted to a non bracelet model if it's more than a couple of years old. I don't know when the manufacturing changes were but i'd wager someone will and post accordingly. |

Thanks for the info Baz! That is quite steep, I dont want to spend more than 600-800 at the very most on a bracelet. I am sure there must be some sort of after market solution. Hmmmm |

I've purchased an Aftermarket bracelet, and the quality, while good, is no where near as good as OEM ones or OEM anything.. I found that it hurt my wrist to wear it and wasn't finished all that great. And it was not cheap either. |

aftermarket PAM bracelets are no way close to OEM quality, however aftermarket PAM straps can be just as good as OEM quality or better |

Panerai's OEM straps are actually not very good quality. Their leather straps fade quickly, and their alligator scuffs easily. |
