Improved Egi rep

Recommended Posts

greg_r

I see that there's an improved rep of the Panerai PAM341 (aka Big Egiziano) available.

 

The old one has been around for quite a while (I had one briefly), but suffered badly from being SS rather than Ti. Build quality wasn't the greatest either, with a rather sloppy bezel. That coupled with the sheer bleedin' size of the thing made it feel like you were strapping a truck wheel to your wrist.

 

Well, I dunno whether the build quality has improved, but it appears that there's now an Egi available in a Ti case, which should at least cut down on the weight issues. For those of you with 8" wrists and above (remember, this thing is 60mm!!!), you'll find it on Josh's site as of now (which I assumes means that others will also be able to obtain it.

 

Here's a quick screenshot for your perusal

(and before anybody asks, no I won't be buying one - I'll stick with my 47mm mini Egi thanks :thumbsup2: )

Hmmmm, sweet.

note to self : try a 60mm (excluding crown) disc on wrist (or use a peanut butter jar lid).....

To give you an idea of how big this watch is - here's the old, cheaper version next to a 47mm Radiomir...

Noticed this last night on Josh's site too. Not for the g though. Would look ridiculous on my 7" wrist.

Perhaps worth mentioning for the sake of those with normal sized wrists, the new run of Pam243's seems to have arrived.

Spotted on Andrew's site last night for $278.

Fortunately it looks exactly the same as the ultimate version I already own...

so no upgrade for me.

243 looks damned good.

 

I managed to get a close look at the 187G "Ultimate" with 7753 the other day - that's a bloody amazing looking thing. Was never quite sure about it from the photos, but I think I'm gonna hafta buy myself one in due course - despite it being somewhat outside my usual 'comfort zone' price at over $400...

Yup, the 187G is a stunning piece in the flesh. Rather like the 243, pics just don't do it justice.

 

well worth the money imo
