I noticed the case and crown guard are improved over the VSF 616, they now also have the triple layer colouring like the bezel.

I like Pams and I like to wear them on leather strap. With this one I absolutely have no idea of ​​color and material for bracelets. My only idea now for this beauty is the big Torpedo Kevlar strap.

Rufctr2 let me help you visualise some of the possible solutions in picking up a strap. Actually the black case is suitable for many color combinations..

I agree as I have the 508, but the carbon detail makes it a more modern submersible than the 508. Big vintage leather strap like your first picture is not perfect imho.

The gen is sold with a rubber and a new style canvas with Velcro. Unfortunately this strap isn’t yet available on panerai accessories online shop.

I wasn’t expected such a beauty, but the dial seams awesome on daylight.

Deep dark, rich reds come to mind. Ironically, happened to have seen these two cars recently with black rims and thought they looked pretty nice -- a BMW M5 in Imola Red and an Alfa Romeo Stelvio in Competizione Red

Thinking of going this on mine.

I would go with the carbon also. I like it :)

ernien Could I trouble you for a mini (super mini) review - just a few thoughts on how it feels, build quality, how it wears, weight, comfort, movement/winding feel etc - just a sentence or two pretty please?

What do you guys think about the cannon pinion on the rep? My TD sent me some QC photos from another customer's order and it appears that the cannon pinion is hollow and brass colored. It appears solid and silver in the gen photos. I think this could be distracting. Has anyone who has received the watch noticed this coloring?
