341 Egiziano ...

Just some questions

what do you think about it ? A must have and I would wear it ? Can't wear it but I need it for my collection ;-)

I like it, in fact I love the looks but what the hell should I do with a 60mm watch ? Including lugs it must probably be 7.5 cm. Is this a waste of money ? Spending a lot of money on a watch you'll only wear on Halloween ?

And what about the availibilty ? is this really as hard to get as a 203 ? When I hear that ALL those watches were sold out within 1 hour at Basel 2009, I'm affraid this is too hard to get. Did some people on this forum order one ? And what did the AD tell you ... 'sure, no problem' or something like 'yeah right, the Egiziano ... you're number 10 on the list and I will only get one'

Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't know what to do with this watch. Like said I don't think you can wear it on daily basis and I might regret it putting so much money in a watch I woould almost never wear. Is 'knowing' that you have one enough for you ?

LOL Bruno, still can't find the question....

but you made some very valid points. Cheers, Asi

Well Bruno,

even if you think it would be to big, once you wear it andget used to it (a bit) you would have a problem going back to your smaller watches i think. A 45 mm watch would look like a 70ies dresswatch (in your eyes). And if your wrist is too small, you can ...

Wow, you're indeed in trouble, Bruno! :)))

Things are simple: You have an Hard Core 47 mm Panerai Collection, and you must have it, with the Pam 191 ( Compass ). If you don't , then pass on it, as it is unwearable, truely unwearable for the common mortal. It is very nice but unless I have a seriou...

I agree with you Nicolas but i would like to add into

I agree...

By: MiniCooper : May 25th, 2009-16:37

with Nicolas- I think the first criteria is if you are going to wear your watch and enjoy it- on the other hand you could also enjoy it if you place it on your desk and look at it. But if you intent to put it in a safe I would advise against it Cheers Thi...

You can always wear the PAM341 on your ankle! :)

By: AnthonyTsai : May 24th, 2009-11:57

If you're fine with buying a watch you can't wear, then get it. I guess it's like buying a painting and sticking it on the wall. You can enjoy it everyday, but you can't wear the painting on your wrist. Use the PAM341 as your desk clock If you can't wear ...

this watch only needs some 'trendsetters'

By: P@trick@Belgium : May 25th, 2009-02:17

okay, everybody seems to agree that 60mm is 'unwearable', unless....... some trendsetting people will be wearing it, over their shirts, jackets, etc..... once whe gonna see some examples I think the step to wear it yourself will be smaller, of course it's...

I stand by my statement,,,,not wearable ;-)

So agree with you Patrick

By: BluNotte : May 25th, 2009-08:48

And you could count me in as one of those "trendsetters", because once I get mine, i WILL be wearing it, almost as a daily even... Have to say i'v loved BIg and heavy ever since i was young. So when OP decided to do a 60mm, it was heaven for me! Cheers St...

Bruno my fellow Paneristi...

By: BluNotte : May 25th, 2009-08:59

As a genuine Paneristi, I would get it, yes I am getting one. I would wear it, don't care what others say, or even their stares, actually the better. And I would spend that amount on it, because I already that amount sitting in my bank waiting for the DAM...

341 for me...

By: Krieng : May 26th, 2009-00:03

Too big and only a watch for GTG. You have to have a wrist like Sly to wear the 341. Cheers

U mean Steroids to the rescue!? lol joking... [nt]

It was not that long ago that a 44 MM Pam was considered enormous.

By: oldparis : May 26th, 2009-11:18

Yes the 341 is large, but it is wearable. Being afraid of what other people think about the size of the 341 is the MAIN problem about this watch. For what it worth, if Panerai had made this watch smaller, everyone would be screaming about it not being his...

Though it is too huge for my wrist, after seeing it on ...

By: colantotte : May 26th, 2009-11:25

display during my recent trip to HK Boutique, I love it !!!...You gotta see it... I would be delighted to use it as my desk clock ... Cheers

Modified .......but very true statement Unwearable- - -however

By: jchubb59 : May 28th, 2009-20:18

Hello, For something like 80+% percent of most 47mm and 48mm wearers, this watch will be unfeasible / unwearable for an everday wearer. Unless you do indeed have a 9" to 10" wrist it will be a push for sure. It is way over 60mm to the outside of the bridg...

Jonathan, you will easily pull this one off mate,,,

hope all is well,,,,,cheers Asi

The fact that every Eggies have been sold 1 hour after SIHH opening is a legend ;)

By: EdouardG : June 6th, 2009-11:46

The truth is that a friend of mine ordered one 1 week after end of SIHH at a famous AD in Paris....and nobody was on list. One of the AD's where I use to get some Pannies from, was surprised that I didn't call him to order it, and asked me if I would like...
