Some ramblings about the Pam 341 Egiziano...
Hello friends!! Just to share some thoughts which arised today after visiting a local AD to say hi to my friends there and wish them a Happy New Year. One of my friends at that shop produced some watches recently arriived and among them was a mint example...
Fine if worn as Giovanni Agnelli did
Not for all, but why not. To each his dream. Cheers, Patrickh ...
Thank you so much Patrick! Agree with your words...
... To each his dreams!! Agnelli set the pace of many aspects of life. He was truly a man of great taste and big personality. He choose to wear some of his watches on the sleeve of his pullover or shirt cuffs. In this case he is shown wearing his Omega Pl...
I would definitely pull a trigger on that one if I could

The same dial in a 47 mm case, I would have zero doubts, I would jump on it.
Here is a vintage one sublimely captured by someone ( John Goldberger? ) : The re edition is faithful to the spirit of the original. Which lead me to think twice about my statement: It is as it is, a watch which is out of norms, in terms of size and chara...
Hello dear Nicolas!! Thank you so much for your most complete ...
... answer. I enjoyed reading! The picture was a superb addition to throw some aditional fuel!! Guess I will have a night with insomnia!! I already own the 372 and 587 ... I´m very near your ideal Trio!! Lol!! Thanks again my dear friend! Will keep you po...
Abel, don't you also own the 662? Your Panerai collection is already awesome.
Why not? If you accept to to wear it too often, why not? In this case go for the Compass Panerai released some 10 / 12 years ago, too. Un abrazo, amigo. Nicolas
Yes dear Nicolas. I also own the 662. Of course I would love to find a compass and a torch light!
I guess the 372, 587, 662 and my Mare Nostrum pre Vendome would welcome the Egiziano!! Lol! Gracias mi amigo! Un abrazo! Abel
Amazing pic of the vintage one. Great...
But you should have added the 662 My friend... so rather a Quad Nowadays
Cooool....Great pics :), i do like a lot your first pic :) thanks for sharing...

My pleasure my friend Ahoi! Always nice to share some shots. About the Egiziano...
... it was very hard for me to sleep yesterday night! You can imagine! I´m very busy at office today. I´ll try to visit the shop again tomorrow if I find a little time to spare and will handle the watch again and continue the dealing. The "state of mind t...
Yes, case is made of Ti and this is a...
... most welcomed feature in a watch of this size. I can't say it is light but at least weight is not the problem here! Cheers! Abel
Also mine is in..prestine..
conditions. I bought it as a "state of mind" type of watch, not a fully functional, to be worn timepiece. In fact the best use for the brute is to..piggy-back a 127 on.. Ciao my friend ...
Ciao Sergio! Thank you for your answer which...
... I was expecting to read! I feel you give a great definition wit your "state of mind type of watch" words! I will take your words and it will help with my decision. I need to get a tempting deal yet to help Now, regarding your suggestion of using the E...
Wow it makes the fiddy look like 38mm LOL!!
How does this watch get associated with Egypt ?
In the 50s the Egyptian Commandos...
used to train in Italy (at the Comsubin, Varignano). They requested a special model to Panerai and Panerai produced the...Egiziano. Matter of fact the Egiziano (GPF2/56) is the ONLY model..entirely..produced in Florence by Panerai (excluding the movement,...
My opinion:
it's for sure an interesting and special Pam. I like to wear my watches. I like vintage style but it's not the main reason for me buying a Pam . I find this one just too big for any normal usage . I am sure I wouldn't feel too comfortable wearing it if th...
Thank you for sharing your point of view Ahoi! I understand your point...
