My PAM292M from Toro arrived today after less than a week (2.5 days in UK customs!).

What can I say? It is stunning, no marks, fingerprints, scuffs or scratches and runs well so far.

I got it with Toro's new Asso strap, as well as the "worn out hand-stiched tan" as pictured. Both straps are great quality, with the Asso being a bit more subtle than the other.

It has real presence, it is actually about the same size as my 112 but thinner, and the matt black case is flawless.

The pics are just quick phone ones, it looks much better in the flesh.

Wow, looks so nice.
292M is in my wishlist, but is it really prone to scratch?
I thought ceramic is supposed to be tougher than PVD/DLC...

From what I've read, scratching really shouldn't be an issue, unless you really smack it, in which case it'll still stand up better than stainless.

I'm still trying to decide on which strap to use with it, so am not wearing it today, however, it'll certainly get some wrist time over the weekend.

Congrats on the new watch mate!
Scratching shouldn't be a problem, I've been wearing mine for several months as a daily beater(Usually a GMTiic which has been problematic of late).
As for straps, I'd go with the Asso as I'm not too fond of the worn out tan, but that's just me. Enjoy it and wear it in good health!

To the posters who own a 292M, have you had any issues with the lugs loosening or separation of the ceramic from the steel case? I have a 292K less than a year old and experienced all of the above. Thinking about replacing it with a "M" version but only if those issues were sorted out. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I also have a 292 and I am also afraid to wear it too much because of the dreaded possible scratches. I am also thinking of changing the strap to this Python snake skin, what you all think.
