Panerai already did it
With the Platinum Cali ( Pam 262 ); which was announced at 50 pieces, and ended with 99.
They received the demonstration that even if unwearable, this Egiziano will be a big hit.
Not a big problem, IMO, but, like you, Stephen, I would like to see Panerai change these hands for golden ones...
Best.

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice...
That the PAM 341, AKA the Egiziano homage that was released this year at SIHH 2009 as a special edition had increased it's limited edition number from 300 to 500? Seems as though even alot of people complain about not being able to wear it, the demand is ...
I guess you are right....
just noticed it at the panerai website. Our chance getting one is increased! Alepos

Yes that is one famous example, and also
with the 232, the hands were announced black but changed to gold for the production, am i correct? Well, in any case, i'm glad that Panerai even CREATED THIS PIECE! Loving it more and more everyday! Stephen This message has been edited by BluNotte on 2009...
They changed the size of the hands, on the 232.

Agree this is probably a good thing...
As I speculated earlier: panerai.watchprosite.com This woud lighten up the need/pressure to issue more 60mm Egiziano or variants of it in the future in order to justify the overall economics.
You are correct Jester!
And i'd prefer it that way, because i strongly believe that 60mm CANNOT AND MUST NOT be used for anything but the Egiziano, although there is a very faint possibility that they would use it to re-create the Israeli Navy monster! Cheers Stephen
Looks like a tin on wrist...
I might be alone, but this PAM is ugly IMHO. I like Panerai (having 090 and 292) but this one... Though I understand historic importance of this model, for $28,500 you can buy gold Lange&Sohne or Patek with perfect finishing and mechanics. Big chunk of me...
I really like the chamfered ends of the crown guard, Can't wait for it!
I personally do not care about the extra size, There are so many watches I only wore one or two selected journeys, It is a must have
