Finally you received your 74. Congratulation on your new strap.
The 368 is the sleeper in the 2011 line up. A great looking piece.
I can only affort for the 74 expected in Dec.
PAM372 will be my target

This strap is made by the strapmaker in Indonesia right? Not sure why "74" but that's the same style of strap used by panerai long time ago during the WW2 i guess... I bought one the same too long time back, very soft leather ;)

Post by: dontan on November 29, 2011, 11:29:47 AM: Nice pam you got there. Just out of curiosity, what does the 74 signifies? based on the replies above - it is a unique watch strap? (I recently only started picking up interest in Panerai rare models - e.g. 237 "Ghost")

hope to know more about it.

:thumbsup:
