Olive green Panerai for the Edifice

I really do like this edifice... It's taught me how I prefer indices to numbers, and simple crisp design. Not quite a dress watch but I think wearable in almost any situation. Would love to be able to give it a sapphire crystal! I have matched it with a green Panerai strap with yellow stitching to match the yellow second hand and text. Not a great light for these pics but you get the idea. I'm heading down to London for a day out next weekend and will be a well dressed individual with a watch to match.

Nice combination 💪💪💪 just 1 thing the pam strap usually quite thick you may want something thinner and taped a little bit more at buckle end 😁

The Edifice line is great, a lot of them have sapphire crystals for less than $100 USD. A crystal swap is easy with a cheap press you can pick up from Amazon or ebay. You just have to measure the diameter and thickness.

Thats right, it wasn't an option with this strap to go thinner at the buckle, but to be honest it's fine.

Thanks. I'm dipping my toes with all of this as I'm new to watches. I've learned more than expected about straps already. I will start looking into crystal swapping in time. I'm also trying to make my mistakes before things start getting expensive!

I have that same watch, which was $65 when I bought it. I like your strap, but let's face it, the Edifice would still look great if you ran a piece of grey duct tape through the lugs.
