Ooh nice James ! :o :) Haven't seen a new watch from them in a while.

for the news, along with heads up about it.

Does anyone know if the Regattare uses the exact case shape of a fiddy or luminor?

My real question is can I fit a rubberb strap on a carbon Regattare?

These new 42mm Regattare looks to be using the dual time case. The Carbon looks to be using the same case shape as the original 44mm Regattare 2011. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to throw a 24mm rubber strap on the Carbon. I throw a 24mm BC rubber on my Regattare and my MPP once in awhile.

Man I love Magrette. Wish the waterman had a date. And I was bummed the dual time was rose gold not bronze. I would've been all over a bronze dual time.

My MPP and Regattare are keepers that is for sure. This post is making me want to strap on my Regattare on now.

The only thing I wish Dion would start doing is start luming the internal bezels. At least have the marker at the 12 lumed.

haha, and i actually wish the regattare was the one w/o the date. i'm too blind to read date wheels without reading glasses, wish more watches came w/o them. but i like the regattare better overall.

I was referring to Rubber B straps designed to integrate into Panerai cases with no gap.

I was hoping the Regattare 44mm case was just a Panerai fiddy case or luminor.

Ah IC. I don't own any Panerai's. No can afford. But looking at that close up pic you posted I would have to say no it won't fit. To my eye the shape around the case in the lug area is different on the Regattare.

Magrette uses their own cases, eventhough they are inspired by Panerai.

Best thing to do though to know for sure for sure is to email Dion at Magrette or ping Todd on the Magrette facebook group. Todd handles Magrette in the US. He is pretty responsive as I've pm'd him on facebook a few times and he always reeponds. I'm 98% confident though it won't be a 1:1 fit.

Thanks for the info. I hit up Magrette Europe yesterday but they weren't sure. I just hit up Todd now.
