Question for the forum. If you have the chance to purchase the Egiziano

 
 By: Ed Tonkin : December 14th, 2009-19:11
from your authorized AD would you do it? It is not inexpensive and not that wearable from the photos and corresponding comments I have seen and read here. What are your thoughts? Thanks, Eddy

Just my opinion...

I would and am going to buy it!

1st piece in Japan is mine! Great watch, and love to wear it! Would be too! Tried the sample once, excellent and couldnt have felt better! Stephen

How are you going to wear it?

The first one in Japan is yours! The first wristshot in Japan will be here on PuristSPro! If it's not going to be worn on the wrist, the first thigh/calf/ankle or bicep/arm shots will be appreciated! Congratulations on the pending acquisition!

It will be worn on the wrist

And i really dont care what others have said, i find that sometimes people on this forum just dont understand and maybe dont respect me, which is ok, because i dont live for others nor to impress others, they can have their 2 cents say all they want, but ... 

Stephen..BRAVO!

congrats on your upcoming purchase..dang..couple of monumental pieces from PAM this year... Congrats!

Lol! Thanks!

 
 By: BluNotte : December 15th, 2009-20:35
Well i hope PAM continues to release monumental pieces like this all the time! Cheers Stephen

Matter of individual decision!

Though I will not buy one, I would like to see whoever love it get on his/her wrist! Cheers!

You summed it up

Expensive and unwearable. Not on the top of my list at the moment, although don't get me wrong - I would love to have it Regarding the 'chance' to purchase, I have a feeling this one will be available because I doubt that all the people that pre-ordered i... 

It depends of what you have in your collection, Ed.

 
 By: amanico : December 14th, 2009-22:47
If you already have the Pam 127, 217, 232 and 249, so, in this case, you should consider it, in an historical point of view. Then you'll have to hunt the Compass Pam 191 to go till the end of this thema. If you don't already own these pieces, it is not wo... 

Very good point, Nicolas.

 
 By: BDLJ : December 15th, 2009-03:22
As part of a collection, it makes sense. Otherwise, it's yet another replica and not faithful enough to be really interesting. That said, I can see why it's so appealling. To me, only a real one would hold any interest. And if I sell all my possessions, I... 

I might hang it on my wall [nt]

There are several other Panerais that are much higher...

 
 By: dxboon : December 15th, 2009-00:28
...on my personal list in terms of desirability. Certainly the Egiziano is an interesting piece and reflective of a historical design from the Panerai archives, so it's not an unworthy pickup IMO, just not one for my personal collection. Cheers, Daos

I would not

I had the chance to try on my wrist the original Egiziano ref. GPF 2/56 and, believe me, is far too large to be worn. The new Egiziano is surely a great piece but I would never buy a watch that I can't wear. My very personal opinion, of course.

Honestly I don't foresee this watch going to many AD's...

 
 By: Marc(Cap) : December 15th, 2009-04:20
But I am sure some will get a few...as for me it depends what irons I have in the fire when I get offered it and what I think of it actually in the flesh...I wear my vintage B-Uhr at 55mm for fun some weekends and love it...kind of out there but I can pul... 

Not for me

 
 By: Sean : December 15th, 2009-05:10
While I like the watch, I wouldn't buy it because I find it unwearable. I tried it on at SIHH, even on the outside of my jacket, and it just looked too big. I can see the attraction though for someone who wants to have a complete collection, even if they ... 

I would....

 
 By: MiniCooper : December 15th, 2009-11:03
not buy it as I feel that it is too big for my wrist..... However this is just me.... others feel otherwise... for example Stephen has ordered his ( I think the only confirmed buyer) and he says that he is going to wear it.... If he enjoys it, great for h... 

Like what you said pink...

 
 By: BluNotte : December 15th, 2009-20:37
And totally agree, it's the buyer/owner whom the piece belongs to and if it satisfies him/her, that is just about the ONLY thing that matters. What?! Am i the ONLY confirmed buyer? Lol, well i think out buddy Alepos is eager to get his as well. But man i ... 

I love the design.....

 
 By: BIllS100 : December 15th, 2009-22:00
I really do but... I tried on the Prototype and it just doesn't work on my wrist. I wouldn't wear it. However, the design is otherwise stunning. Hopefully, it will be reworked in a 47mm version. If so, I want to be first in line!!! Bill This message has b... 

I wouldn't buy one.

 
 By: rovermark : December 16th, 2009-01:08
It looks ridiculous on my wrist....  

Ugly watch... IMO [nt]

i wouldn't wear it

 
 By: Tony A.H : December 18th, 2009-13:14
so neitheter would many MANY people... come on really. it's un-wearable. but i might do something that i've never done before which is to flip it shortly after purchase to fund for several nice Watches..! Tony

I believe it is a non rational decision and it is great that it polarizes...

 
 By: luc00 : December 20th, 2009-14:34
This is what creates a Myth and I appreciate that Panerai is cultivating the past to build the future. I ordered mine but I decided not to try the watch (the samples) before. I want the shock unfiltered.

No matter how much it cost i will buy it!

 
 By: ALEPOS : December 27th, 2009-00:15
It is so unique and i am sure it will spend some wrist time. alepos
