this is bad !
like plexi or not, but it is crap which scratches way to easy.
A sapphire is a lot more expensive than a 50 cent plexi
what's the next thing they'll say ? Oh, we planned to make 300 of them, now we're at 500 but it could be 1000 ??
This watch looks cool but is ridiculously OVERPRICED !
PLEASE READ: Changes to 341 now made official!
Ciao Paneristis! I trust each one of you is having a great start to the weekend! As i pointed out a while back ago, I 1st got informed through the Tokyo boutique of the minor changes that will be done to the PAM 341, namely the crystal being changed from ...
Thanks for the info Stephen
WR of only 30 meters now. Wonder if it these changes will impact sales. - Anthony
Prego Anths!
I don't think the change will affect sales much, especially when it's hard core die hard Paneristis we are talking about! Such as myself, this piece is still as good as ever! And i do intend to wear it! Stephen
But how?
I recalled you being a reasonably slim guy so may I know how exactly are you intending to wear it? Of course, that's assuming you're wearing it on your wrist!
It shall be on my wrist Jester!
I already have a 26mm strap ready for it, and i'll probably try it once only with the original at the boutique, and then have the technician there change it for me before i even leave the store, therefore the length is no problem for me. As for the size, ...
Definitely a desk diver
a show piece, and that will be fine for some, but it does take away some of the credibility of the piece
I have to agree with you Guille..
But a piece to own, for the rest of us who are unfortunate enough to own the actual 2/56! Stephen
sad.....
i had preferred they left it with the crystal and 100m rating !! first 300 now 500, then this ?? next will be they make it in 47 mm

Bruno, i have to say that i think ALL Pams are ridiculously overpriced
marketing is a wonderful thing isnt it
Agree with that comment!
Been away from Panerai for several years now for that reason. While some of newer models are "slightly" interesting, the price points squash any further interest.
But the fact that it's plexy makes it closer to the real thing, dont you agree?
I hate it too that it scratches easily, but well guess thats why my holy grail ref. 2533 has this superb big smash to it's crystal!
Well, it may not be that bad...
Least according to figures/speculations here: jaquetdroz.watchprosite.com there's less of a chance that they will do an OOR or another similar series afterwards...
Thanks for the update, Stephen
I was hoping t see some golden hands instead of those we see on the Proto, but sadly it won't happen. The plexy is a good thing, but once agin, I hope that the WR won't go down too much... Any info about that? Best, and thanks for the info, my friend. Nic...
You might just get your wish mon ami!
Right now, we can't say that OP won't make any more changes, they still might, after all they really understand the collector's market. regarding the WR, as i mentioned above, it is now at a horrendous 30 metres ONLY! Cheers and have a great weekend! A bi...
30 meters from the Beach ?
Wow, that's enough, don't you thnik? Seriously, I doubt that anyone here will wear sucha watch, and dive with... So, the Limited Water Resistance is maybe not that important, after all... Best, Nicolas
You are correct Nico
And i personally don't have much of a problem with it. I just probably got influenced from those guys here who complained much about the 249 last time! LoL! Stephen
I don't get it.
What was WR of the original watch? I definitely like the idea of plexiglass in a hommage piece. (I do hope they get rid of the 'pig' engraving on the back...Egyptian Maiales, so much for "history") To me, this means the watch case hasn't been designed to ...
The exact WR of the original is unknown
But is said to be no less than 100m. You are right that it isnt difficult to achieve greater depths with a plexy, and it is probably the case as you mentioned, that OP just switched the crystal without any modifications. They did the same with their Calif...
That 341 is it really a nice 'Coup' ?
for sure PANERAI has his forever group of enthusiasts, but at ø 60mm it is going to be hard wearing for close to most of us. It seems that most people who are considering this historical piece have already found a re-use for it: desk, wall, framing it and...
Your opinion there is good Poy
About the depth ratings, i am not sure why that OP always have a low WR when they have a Plexy, as our friend BDLJ mentions above, it is probably due to the fact that they simply switch the crystal, without any added enhancements. Well, i'm for one who ha...
Nothing wrong being fixed for it
and if you can wear it know that I respect your liking and I am truly happy for you. I have had a few of the vintage 2/56, of course I could wrist the 2/56, I just could not see my wrist anymore... as if I wristed my knee cap. To me ø 47mm seems to be the...
THanks for the support Poy
It sure is a true hommage to the past, something that not many makers do nowadays, with regards to the size. I am looking forward very much to receiving mine! A bientot Stephen
Agree with Patrick, SAD
This is supposed to be a diving watch and i guess a kind of reproduction of the old model, the 30m i really do not understand. Another piece to grabb collectors money! (including mine) Alepos
It sure is SAD alepos!
But we 2 are still gonna grab the 1st pieces yaw!! How have you been buddy? Cheers Stephen
I still believe the re-edition of small Egi will definitely hit the market...
no matter WR change or crystal change to plexi.
I wait for that with impatience, Krieng!
A you know, I'm a big big fan of this small egiziano... For me, this is a Grail watch among the Panerai Vintage watches, with the Luminor " 4 lines "... Let's pray, hope, and ...wait! best, nicolas
