Such a nice watch. Just wondering has anyone here swapped out the strap on these for a gen one?
Much softer or more comfortable?
Thanks

I swap in 382 and 1616 to gen.

Gen has better feeling. For me is worthing the swap.

A few more pics can also be found here


I've heard this is 14.5mm thick. I am not 100% certain, but I think the original is 13.5, so that would be close enough. I was holding back from ordering as I wanted to ensure this has the white lume and white date wheel so it all looks nice so far.

I tried the original on at the airport last week, incredibly light, and nice on slim wrists.

I look forward to your QC Weatherman, it will be good to see more pics to see if the case is a shade more grey than dark black, or it's just the lighting in the comparison picture I posted.

Also, it appears the release of the 2223 by VS is not too far behind, for those who prefer white. They are using a pic of the original in the promo ads.

got my QC pics... I already loved my 960, but this one has potential to go straight into my personal "Top 5". Date seems perfectly aligned. If it comes without rotor noise, I am super happy!
Looks awesome. I paid this morning so hopefully not too long for QCs. :love:

I queried with a non-TD, he said 2 weeks likely wait time for next batch. I figured these would be readily available?

Vsf only releases in batches every 2-3 weeks, this is not a popular model (Panerai doesn't even crack top 10 brands in sales), and this is a new model that was released only 3 weeks ago... sounds right to me?
