Introducing "The Brute" ... Ref 341 Egiziano...
Some friends here already know and have encouraged me with this first catch of 2017 of which I talked in my previous post.
As a matter of fact, till last Sunday I never considered owning such a monster watch but a surprising finding on Monday brought the dilemma to my collector mind.
Why buy a 60 mm diameter watch you know you won't wear? Well... some may call it madness, some will say collectors ' passion.
I prefer the words of our friend Sergio: this is an "state of mind watch" and I'm sure many friends here will understand why I finally decided to own this watch as a magnificent representation of an historical and important piece of history of Panerai.
Here are my first shots of The Brute playing Piggy Back as Sergio did with his Fiddy, and lacking of such illustrious model in my collection I did the same with my Pam 590 which will be on my wrist this week end!
The 590 show an strong inspiration on the Egiziano so I like to call it my "Mini Egiziano" 
I hope you'll like these shots! Hagwe my friends!
Cheers! Abel

A giant for a giant and - I\'m sure - everlasting love. This "wonderful beast" even beats the Zenith Pilot Montre d’Aéronef Type 20 (57,7mm). Unbelievable... Enjoy this special piece and wear it in best health! HAGWE, Thomas P.S.: Perhaps you could wear i...
Thanks a lot Thomas for your comments and good wishes!
Yes, I feel that wearing over the sleeve of a thick diving suit was the way original designers viewed the use of this watch! Don't forsee much wearing on my wrist but I am surely enjoying it anyway as a magnificent piece of collection for a Panerai lover!...
You definitely should wear it!!!
Perhaps with a thick sailor pullover? Best, Thomas ...
Stunning Thomas! Great way of wearing a large watch!...
... looks great on you! Cheers! Abel
Wow. That is a serious commitment to the brand.
I committed to the brand in numbers but stopped at 15 watches and 47mm. You have made a commitment to numbers an size. Wear it in great health and you will show who is boss. Bravo. Bill
