Hello dear Nicolas! Yes, the big Egiziano is a monster!

It can only be worn if you have arms and wrists like Schwarzenegger or Stallone. In my 17 cms wrists it looks ridiculous but I love it and it’s a joy for me to own it and to view it on my desk as the crown of my Panerai collection. I have worn it occasion

Panerai PAM 341 Aka " Big Egiziano ".

A monster, a lovely one. If they could make the same one but with a 47 mm case, I would grab it immediately! Best, Nicolas

Hello dear Captain! As you know there are many things that …

… can make me go Boom. But considering watches those which are vintage and found today looking like they had never been worn make me Boom and a wish of taking them home. Also when I visit my favorite watch shop and discover they have received a piece I ne

Much as I like it....

..as big as it was, in the original design, I've never considered buying one (same applied also to the earlier brother PAM300) The cost, for a "show" model (no way I would have used it) was prohibitive, for me. I had already bought the 341 Egiziano, which

urban legend....

I've heard says that, back then Panerai (due to Sly) gained a flash popularity in Tin Town. One 304 Slytech was given to Demi Moor as a present and the name stuck! There there was also a Brad Pitt model. Pitt had a couple of them laying around too. Arnold

Hello dear friend KM! Thank you for hosting this weekend.

A great Theme we haven’t explored before. My first love with a watch brand when I was a lad in the early 1960’s is Rolex. A love I have kept since today in spite that I’m disappointed with their present marketing policy which makes so difficult to get the

Like the PAM341 Egiziano....

...vaguely re-incarnated into PAM024A, the PAM300 was meant, I guess, for the eager collectors. I'm sure that the "florentines" didn't have a "wearable" model in mind. After all, they had already revived the MN (in more...human...dimensions) in the Pre-V

In my opinion these watches are different beyond their size (60 and 50 mm) but in their meaning: The Egiziano is part of the history of the brand, a milestone, and has a lot of meaning for a collector...

... or passionate of the brand. I bought the Pam 341 re issue when I had a lucky chance of finding a NOS example five years ago. It is absolutely unweareable for my 7 inches wrist (well, I actually CAN wear it but looks ridiculous on my wrist, but sometim

I’m a fairly big guy 6’ 3” 195 lbs so can carry it off reasonably well. Anything bigger than that on my wrist would be questionable. Like many here, I have a lot of different likes in makes, movements, dial, case material etc… large watches are included i
