Finally got my strap for my Panerai Homage. Despite having to shave the leather to make it fit, I'm pleased with how it turned out. It was a total custom job from a man out of Croatia. He goes the by the name Diaboliq Straps across several watch forums. His photobucket showcase can be found
here with a bunch of nice straps.
The watch itself is MM95 from Jackson Tse. I had it returned to Hong Kong because the movement (Asian 6497) was screwed. I would wind the watch, and the winding spring would "snap" and the crown would spin freely. Some weird intermittent ****.
Watch landed in today via Hong Kong Air. Put the strap on, and this is how it looks.
Overall pleased minus the watch hassle. Not bad for an $85 watch and a $50 strap.
