Frequently Asked Questions...

What size strap do I need for my Panerai Watch?
For your 40mm Panerai watch you need a 22mm width. For a 44mm Panerai you need a 24mm strap. And for a 45 or 47mm Panerai watches you need a 26mm strap.

The second number i.e. 24/22 or 24/24 is the width of the strap at the buckle. A 24/22mm has a slight taper and fits the Panerai OEM buckle as well as many of the TC buckles. A 24/24 needs a 24mm buckle or, quite usually, these non-tapered straps have a sewn-in buckle.

What length do I need?
The OEM Panerai Straps are 115/75 in length. 115mm on the side with the holes and 75mm on the buckle side.

Look at the bottom of your wrist and see where the buckle sits....if it is in the middle then 75mm is your size....if it is off to one side...measure how much more or less you need and add or subtract from 75mm 8mm at a time....8 mm is usually the distance from the middle of one hole to the middle of the next.

On the long side, which hole are you in? If you are in the first, second or third hole from the pointed end you need a longer strap. Some people use both keepers to help the strap and some prefer one. This will determine what length is best for you. if you are a perfect fit on the OEM strap, which is 115/75, you will need to order a little longer as TC and Mario Paci straps are thicker than OEM and will fit a little shorter

Can I use any strap on my Deployant buckle?
Straps are usually 4 to 5mm at the watch case and on a deployant strap they get thinner, down to 2mm at the buckle so they can fit in the slot. A regular buckle stays pretty much the same thickness throughout and needs a tang buckle.

You can use a depoyant strap on a tang buckle but you cannot use a regular thickness strap on a deployant buckle.

Does TC take credit cards for straps?
Yes, we take credit cards and Paypal at checkout and there is no additional charge for using them.

How much are the TC shipping charges?
We charge actual USPS and FedEx prices for shipping. Domestic U.S. is $5.95 for U.S. Postal Priority and $13.95 for FedEx 2-day service to a business. FedEx is $18.95 for residential delivery. For International shipping it is $19.95USD for Express Mail International and $31.50USD for FedEx International Priority.

How long will it take before my order is shipped?
We try to ship all orders, placed by 2pm Central Time, the same day Monday through Friday and , if we can, also Saturday. Saturday, we are faced with an 11am cutoff time CST. All orders placed after 3pm Monday through Friday generally go out the next day.

Does TC take custom orders for watch straps?
TC can make any strap on our website for you in any width or length. Custom strap orders usually go in on Monday and then take 15 to 20 BUSINESS days from that time, not from the day you place the order. We do not get updates from the factory in Italy on individual straps so it is impossible for us to check on any particular orders.

Does TC have a retail store?
No we are an e-commerce website and operate through the internet. We do have toll free telephone numbers from the U.S., Great Britain, France and Hong Kong.
Please keep in mind that these phones ring in our Texas Office which is GMT -6 hours. We are not there to answer the telephone 24 hours a day....sorry.
