Waiting for the other shoe to drop…
…but it never does.
Back in 2013, the 368 was released. A perfect 8-day Destro in Titanium with a brown dial and gold hands.
Surely, OP would release the right hand variant shortly thereafter. To my chagrin, nada!
OP, it is time to circle back around and give us the “right” handing!!
Please and Thank you. -John

Close but not the same.
The movement in the 1080 is a 3-day P.3000 versus the 8-day P.2002 in the 368. Case for the 1080 is SS versus Titanium for the 368. Most importantly, the P.2002 on the 368 allows the seconds hand to be more centered giving the dial a more pleasing appeara...

Great question.
Fans have always been pretty clear about what they want. Panerai, on the other hand, has always seemed to go its own way, for better or worse.
