I have been trying to find the "right" strap for my PO and found this Stone Creek Straps 20/20 thick strap FS on the straps forum so I thought I would give it a try. I really like the color and texture, and it helps balance the weight of the PO.
What do you think as an alternative to the bracelet and rubber strap?

That is sweeeeeeeeeet! How much did you pay for the strap? I was looking into toshi straps and wanting to see it on a PO and now that I have seen yours I thinks I am loving it.....

bought it off the forum used so I did not pay retail price, but you can check out Stone Creek's website and the Heritage Oak strap. I had thought about buying the strap new before and never pulled the trigger, but the decision was made easier when I saw a near mint version in 20mm on the strap sales forum.

my feelings are mixed. BEAUTIFUL strap and I love the PO. I also like the brown strap/black dial combo. Makes the watch pop.
I just can't get my head around a leather band look with a dive watch. But, if you like it, that's all that matters. Definitely unique.

I really like that! :-! Very sharp and a good decision. I was talking with stone creek about doing a black with orange stitching for my PO with black bezel / orange numbers some time back. I might have to go ahead and give it a try! Again, very nice!

+1
A good quality bracelet makes the watch that much better!
IMO, the PO was made for a bracelet.

My thoughts exactly. It's a fine strap (even though I generally don't like Panerai-style straps), but this watch belongs on metal or rubber IMO.

Here is the other side of the wrist shot as requested. Still like the combo a lot even though the underside is very thick, but the rubber dive strap is still my favorite on this watch!

Looks good and I like it alot :-!. There are also waterproof leather straps (in Panerai style or not) that you can get and I think will be even better for your PO.

Most of the Anonimo (dive) watches use leather straps and IMO they look pretty sharp.
