Seems an odd balance, but...

You're right. I've got a thinner Toshi, but the missus says the colour isn't right
Hi Gyp. My own view is the watch is lovely so is the strap.. but in that photo not together.

As above.
A nice Horween shell cordovan would be a better match IMHO
like this...

Better?
With it being such a small watch, the straps tend to be 18/16 which look too small to meOriginally Posted by sammyl1000
Looks fine to me. Colour is nice too.
I tried quite a few straps on my GS and ended up with the Hirsch Siena Tuscan (mainly because it was available in 19-16mm) the Hirsch Lucca is available in 18mm i assume and may be worth a try
So logically you need a new watch to fit the thinner Toshi, another new strap for the GS, and another new watch to go on the think Toshi that's currently on the GS.
I don't see a problem here.
Result Yay!
You could try a Nomos strap on that. High quality and thin.
I think you should wear what you (and the wife) think looks good. There really isn't a right and wrong colour wise - we all like different things.
Toshi straps do suit Panerai the best imo, but as his gallery shows (I'm on it somewhere) there's no rules.
Colour and material fine. Strap a little on the thick and unrefined side for my eyes. The watch is quite delicate and strap selection should follow imho

I love this combination. I've got a similar strap on my vintage Connie.
Doesn't work for me. The strap(s) looks too homemade and the combination looks like suit and slippers.
I've put it back on a Hirsch but that just feels tiny, especially where it tapers to 16mm.
I looked at the Horween that zelig suggested, but that also tapers to 16mm (and is out of stock). They do an 18mm non-tapered version, but at 100 euros that's a little pricey.
^ Maybe look at an oem strap with a gs deployant? (Assuming you don't have one already)
I think Toshi's work best on a tool watch. The GS is a dress watch and needs a more delicate strap.
I've got the GS bracelet which to my eye is a little overpowering.
The OEM strap & deployant works out at over £300+ which is quite spendy.
Toshi have a fantastic range of leathers and are beautifully made - but the majority are ~ 4mm thick. OK for a lot of watches but not others.

Looks fab now!!Better?
I tend to think the thicker straps look OK on larger chunkier sports watches too

It's worth trying these two as they usually have most styles and sizes:
