All dive watches...
....should be designed to wear over a suit. The real question is why was this so enormous in the first place?
And more questions for the knowledgeable:
Was the original commissioned in 1956?
Why why why didn't Panerai use Acrylic instead of Sapphire?
And what's with the Maiale on the caseback?
The Egiziano is a big HIT
I can say it, this re edition of the Vintage Egiziano is a big hit! Here, the Vintage model: This is indeed a very faithful work from Panerai. All is respected and with the exception of the golden hands which don't figure on this re edition ( but it may b...
Yes and agree on all of your points, Nicolas
only for the hardcore, not the faint hearted for me, the 60mm is awesome, as close as it gets...
Physically, unwearable, Ed, but does that really count
If you have to add it in your collection, due to your pieces??? Yes, for an hardcore fan, but for once, the hard core fans weren't deceived. Best. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-01-22 22:36:34
my thoughts
a smaller 47 (if they would ever think about it) won't be the same. the Egiziano was and therefore must be 60 mm. But as you said, how do you wear such a watch ? Imo it is THE collectors item, and if you allow me I think it's even more special than the 20...
You can use it on both wrists ...
... like handcuffs ... probably somr will go to the POLIZIA ... Now serious .... this is indeed a serious watch and a very nice one .... but offcourse too big for the wrist. But as you stated, i can imagie this will be a serious collector's item. Thank yo...
Merci beaucoup for some clear shots!
This is one piece i'm gonna get! And i'm on the way to being the 1st in Japan to get it! I do have a few questions which i wish to know: 1). I understand from Anthony that the bezel rotates in both directions, but in what increment does it turn? 1 minute?...
Some answers, Stephen
1/ As for the bezel, it is per minute, not per five minutes. 2/ Yes, the crystal is not flush with the bezel, but you see that on the Rolex Sub 1680, for example, and on some other Vintage Watches. 3/ No marking for the moment, because it is a proto, and ...
Love at first second and
third sight .... I just madly love this big piece Red markers on 15 30 and 45 on bezel is such a nice touch for me ... congrats Panerai this one is a new classic and must have for every Panerai addict WOW WOW WOW! BEst Damian
And the funny thing is that
I desperately tried to wear it... But it is impossible... At least for a normal wrist like mine. Definitely, an eye catcher. Best. Nicolas
Wait wait
y ou are completely wrong my friend It is absolutely possible to wear it bring it next summer with you and I'll show you how :0))) After my 55mm Zeno I think that 5mm wouldn't harm me Thank God for broad (hairy) wrist Best Damian
60mm is really huge
Hey Nic, so it is possible that it may end up in 47 or a size smaller than 60? Was there any precedence where the size of casing changed from prototype to commercial models? Thanks!
It's great Panerai released the monster 60mm Egyptian
but I don't know if it'll be a really big hit because this watch is 60mm. The only people who I think will buy it are flippers and the really die-hard Panerai fans who appreciate Panerai's history. Everyone else who buys this piece will probably eventuall...
Well i'm glad to be called a Die hard Paneristi!
Because hell this is like a dream come true! I even spoke with my family about it and they all agreed that i should get it. No wait, I MUST! Will be posting photos of this one when i get mine! Cheers Stephen
Damn, Stephen!
I'm so happy to see you so excited by this Monster! It is really worth it, for what it is: A True Piece of Panerai History. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Well, Anthony, don't really know
There are a lot of Old School Guys, here and there, who will consider it for what it is: A True Piece of Pa,erai History, as I said to Stephen. You, for example, are the happy owner of the 21 and the 203... You " only " have to add the Compass and this Eg...
Mon ami Nico, i have an opportunity to get the compass from an AD
do you suggest i get it to prepare to pair it off with my Egiziano? Kinda like a chardonnay with poulet de Bresse, non? Help me! Stephane
Of course, you should, Stephen
But if you don't already have a 47mm Luminor Panerai, you should also consider one, like the 127 or the 217... And you will have something like that: Replace the Torch by a Luminor, and imagine the " allure " of your Collection! Best. Nicolas...
I have been searching for a 47mm Luminor for quite awhile now!
But i havent found one yet! Well not exactly, you see, i have a strict principle that i would never buy from the grey market, so i have yet to find a 127 or 217 from an AD! Which is the only possible way i could find myself getting one! Well, if i miss th...
Correct, Stephen
I too imagine that Panerai will release a 47 Luminor. And This Day, I will be there, on it...No Quarter! LOL Best. Nicolas
for me the compass was a silly goodie while this is a must have
not to wear on daily basis but if you can get one and your budget allows it ... go for it
Faithful is the word...
I think to re-issue the Egiziano in 47mm would be compromising the significance of this iconic piece in Panerai history. I reckon this piece is not meant to be worn much, but rather a piece for collection, made for the avid Panerai collector -- thus the l...
I doubt...
if Panerai will ever make a 'small' 47 mm version of the Egiziano, this piece is unique as it is and that means 60 mm like it or not, they'd have to make a specially new case again as it is not 100% the same with any other 47mm case, so I realy doubt if t...
This Egiziano...
is the fourth piece of the equation, indeed. Like you said, "If some of you already have the 127, the Cali, and the Compass, I think that this Egiziano is a must have". Totally agree with you. I love all in this watch (case, bezel, indexes with the same t...
Thanks for your input, Emilio
If I'm thinking to add it in my collection? Of course, YES. But I' d have to go on the 127, which is very expensive, and on the Compass Pam 191, too. So, back to Panerai? That is THE question... Best, Hermano. Nicolas
If you come back to Panerai...
with these kind of pieces... Great Hermano!. And for Panerai it´d be really good.... a True Lover and Apassionate collector who loves and understand this brand, this Laboratorio de Ideas!. Best my Apassionate friend. Emilio
What I like most about this watch is..
the way Panerai does the vintage tinted as they did on the Cali...which give both watch more vintage look! But the 60mm diameter is not a daily watch, on the otherhand...I think it is more or less the watch for GTG. Anyway, the Egiziano will definitely be...
I agree, Nicolas. It is not to be compared to any watch but the
diving tools from Panerai and that makes it absolutely necessary! I guess you will be number one delivered in France, good luck! Cheers Luc
