Not sure who BC is, but I thought Synchron (aka Doxa) produced the isofrane straps. :think:

Doxa/synchron is definitely making Isofrane (all the trademarks in US and EU list their addresses), but I THINK BC does the manufacturing...

BC is Bonetto Cinturini
Ahh, I see said the blind man. :thumbsup: maybe somebody can confirm. :think:
Well, yes BC does make the Isofrane, but that is not a secret or i would keep it to myself.
The rubber is all the same, but it comes down to the style, and as pointed out the extra length and the thickness too, as yes the other BC straps are a little short. OK for me, because i have a girls wrist, but after meeting Jamie, i see a need for the slightly larger size.
all things being equal, comes down to the buckle and style.
I have just spoke with GasGasBones about a few of his as an option for some.
Maybe i wil just buy a few of everything! and that way, everyones covered.

Hang on don't go blaming my hams for changing your marketing plan. I am sure the market is bigger for the girly wristed vitamin D deficient watch nerds. I am probably the exception to the rule but i do admit except for the Isofrane I would have to replace most of the straps you had with you that day for something longer.


Yer Cal makes a kick arse strap if he is back I need to see about getting a longer replacement for mine.

Good thing i had the Metta straps made with an assortment of sizes.
But yes, those straps i had would only turn your hand blue after 10 mins, so i need to look into having some options/

Make sure they're longer than 115x75. Half of Panerai owners can't use the stock straps.

Wears smaller , I think due to the 30mm dial.
I have a 40mm Panerai, with a 33mm dial and it wears bigger than the CD-2, or around the same.

I was thinking of increasing the dial size and reducing the bezel by 1mm to suit for the 2012 CD-2, but the longer I wear the watch, the more I feel it is right, and there will be a 44mm when it is possible.
That 44mm can share hands and crystals hopefully with the CD-1, as I do plan to take a little off the bezel on that one.
Not a lot, just enough to make it wear a little bigger

I wont wear a 44mm, does not suit my girly man wrists, but certainly seems there is a demand for that size, so I will make it when I can.
