Thanks. I see we have a separate thread going about this model now.

Strap color's not too bright green compared to gen?
any other obvious callouts?

I really don't get the hang ups about the strap being "inaccurate" of all things (and I'm not talking only about this model), when that is the first and only thing gen owners can change,

I hated it when I saw it for the first time but it’s growing on me. I think it would look cool on green canvas strap.
I think entire design of watch looks too much like plastic. Leather or canvas strap would make this watch look more balanced.

I'd be interested to see in hand pics of the strap when those who ordered receive it.
from the pictures the TDs have posted so far the strap is definitely too light, should be a much darker green.

Is the green on the rest of the watch the right color though?? Cos the strap can always be changed.

The gen is delivered with the »light military green » rubber not the dark forest green rubber strap.

Imho its not so far. And at worse the gen rubber can be bought online on the Panerai website for 150€.

Waiting for an official review but... How do you knew that Toro has any availability yet?
It's not listed in any TD site yet

And I can't decide between this and the bronze PAM382 ????

Its here!!
The pureist may fault it here and there, but for me, its superb..
The strap is also a good colour IRL and comparing against the pics of the Gen watch, its not too far off!
Rotor is slightly on the loud side but its an easy enough fix and it doesn't bother too much, if at all!
Will post more pics when work allows!

Looking good! Is the seconds subdial slightly sunken and does it contrast slightly with the main dial when the light catches it - like on the all black cousin (I forget the ref)?
