Hi guys - looking for some strap advice. I’ve spent an hour swapping my 243 onto different straps and I’ve found the leather and velcro so damn... chunky. I know these are bigger watches but I feel these straps make the watch considerably larger and a bit ungainly...
Any advice on straps which work on PAMs that are a little more slimline? Interested in all styles to be honest. Thanks in advance!

Toshi does a slimmer horween strap. It’s 2.5mm thick rather than his unusual 4mm.

Thank you both - I’ll take a look at these options
I have worn my 243 on a couple of different canvas straps, maybe more of a summer thing, but they are slimmer than most of my leather ones. I also would have a look at NATOs, some hate them but I think they really suit.
I am in work tonight but will post some pics tomorrow to give you a better idea.
Is an Erikas worth a look?
I got a 6309 recently with an Erikas attached, was a revelation!

Thanks all - the ericas look very comfortable and low profile.
The elastic straps are possibly the best for comfort strap I've found, if for no other reason than you can always have the strap exactly as you would like it tensioned. Closest after these is a good bracelet with micro adjustment. Erica's are nice but don't know they are $$$ nice (I have no personal experience of one. Just comparing my sub €20 elastic strap's comfort with the Erica price)
I've got a couple of 24mm Nick Mankey elastic straps, and they're great - I wear one on my LandMaster. There's a thread in Leather, Rubber and Nylon.
243 on canvas and NATO. Maybe more of a summer thing.

Thank you all - some great ideas here 👍
I've had quite a few Panerai in my time, but down to just 4 now...... owned all of them for at least 10 years now and can't imagine letting any of them go. They all offer something a bit different (to me anyway)
233 - dot dial
24 - this is a "C" so tritium lume and a 12 click polished bezel. I've owned a more recent 24, but the older ones are so much nicer IMO
87 - this is a bit of a lump but it's beautiful - oxidised hands and all
and finally my Zero. This is probably my favourite
This is a 372, there’s not a titanium version of this particular model. The model this one is based on the 127 1950 aka the Fiddy, had a mix of brushed & polished case finishes but in steel. The closest in titanium would be the 368 1950 destro in terms of styling afaik.
The only other luminors I know of in titanium would be the 352 & the 913. I’m sure some of the more knowledgable members will be along soon with more.

Loving the Submersible's!
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
ahhhhhhh my first ever panerai was a 177, fell it love with the brand after that and seeing the 089 and the 212, i used to mis pronounce it pan airy, how embarrassing
since then must have been through 40 models , i think i'm down to 15 now with 12 i actually wear, there are still a couple i would get, funds allowing
Which models have a clear case back?
It’s not been updated for a while but start here.

557, a destro 372 essentially.
Phwoarrr! Chuffed to bits.
That's a top selection there Rich
I'd be more than happy with any of those although I have to confess the 24/25 never really did anything for me
My first was a new 'H' serial zero in 2006 which I had to let go but was replaced with a 'J' T dial 243 which again I let go (my biggest selling regret to date)
my only Panerai at the moment is my 112 which I haven't worn for a long time due to the lock down etc.
So a gratuitous pic in appreciation...my 112
