How many "New to Panerai" people have been experimenting with straps?

With all the new Panerai watches...including so many Radiomir's....in 44mm, 45mm and 47mm...do you find that you have been looking for straps to either dress up the watch or lean more towards Historic and vintage straps?

Also, how many of you find that you have started to wear your straps with a longer length so that you are sure to use both keepers and possibly see the "tail" when you look straight on at your watch dial?

I am seeing so many people switching around from Kevlar to alligator...from Alligator to Vintage...from OEM length to their actual needed length....

How many are diehard 'Deployant people' and how many have made the switch to a sewn in buckle?

We hear so many people who have Deployants but yet they say Deployants are uncomfortable. Also, the same folks have difficulty getting replacements straps at their Authorized Dealer and they find the selection quite limited in the after market arena.

This will be interesting to see how the trend is going relative to the newer Contemporary Panerai Models. Once people understand the History of Panerai I think we will see more and more of them switching to the Vintage styles.

Thank you.
