I order custom straps for my Panerai and Reverso from the same guy.

Some bits & thoughts on the Reverso straps:
- it wears nicer on a flat than on a padded strap, so the thickness can be anything between 1.5-2.5 mm (f.e. CF straps that come now with them are 4mm on the lug side and then they thin out straight away);
- black with matching stitching and cognac or brownish/borderline oxblood with contrast stitching are always a good fit for any occasion (see shoes & belt ;));
- I prefer simple no croc/croc look straps and go for horween shells for comfort and durability as well as patina they will develop over time;
- you can use custom done straps provided you selected proper clasp with with either a deployant or regular simpler buckle, depending on preferences and have both ready on the go;
- do not forget to order QR spring bars what ever strap maker you choose, it will simplify your life and travelling around greatly.

Hope this helps. :)
