How to darken a leather strap?
Hey All, I have the Omega strap below incoming for my Speedy 9300. Any best practices on how to darken a leather strap? Bad idea? Easy to do? Tutorials? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!Here is the photo. I understand the stitching will color too. That's fine. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1359857997.969281.jpg

talk me out of a 8500 PO
Ok guys/gals... i currently have an AP diver and a GMTIIC. previous watches a Breitling SA and a Pam 112. Im seriously considering the PO in 45.5 mm. I think for the money ill go ahead and get the bracelet and then grab an isofrane for it. I know the OEM rubber is supposed to be awesome but i cant hardly bring myself to pay the same for a rubber strap as a bracelet. I also hear the bracelets are hard to size. is this true? Im sold in the isofranes so thats a given. 22mm correct? i think the PO with the orange markers would give me something different in my collection even though i know the silver markers are more classic and probably my favorite version. i just need something different than my other two black face watches and i think the orange will set it off. im pretty sure on the 45.5 mm since i had no issues with a 44mm panerai. the 48mm super avenger was a tad heavy on bracelet for extended wear but im hoping the PO isnt as bad plus i can always throw the isofrane on

PP Pricing
Does anyone else suspect that PP raised their prices so they could allow the ADs to offer discounts that rival grey market discounts, potentially decimating the grey market? Am I off base on this?

What PAM is this?
Hello Enthusiasts,Can you tell me what model Panerai is this? I believe the lumes are blue as well.
