Are you planning on modding it?

 

[Inushuk]

AR - Lume - Pearl - CG - Crown - Hands ... ???

[COLDI]

A watch that old wont have AR...thats a vintage model

Granted this is the top of the line model and NW does awesome work but this give you an idea of how bad as$ they can look

Good link Thanks for sharing ...very interresting

That's not a vintage model. It's a special edition that Panerai made a few years ago to pay homage to the original EGI......Not trying to be a dick.

 

[COLDI]

I stand corrected

So is the 47mm version a real watch?

Nope, The DSN 52mm isn't either.

The original watch from way back was 60mm and so is the new release.

Here is a wrist shot of a new one.

Even on him it looks like he's wearing a travel clock on his wrist. This thing is monstrous!

Nice!! I like that look, 47 is wearable. That looks great, I see no reason to mod it...perhaps relume, just to smile at it when you get in some shade.

Whats the strap width and the price on that beauty?

 

[ssb045]

Very nice, adding to my want list...

 

[Inushuk]

Strap is 24mm and price of this Egi is 128$ shipped from Mary

 

[HyperDi]

Is this titanium or steel version?

 

[kristy]

I love it too much.

Thk
Kristy,

I own one of those from Kuwarsit. I'd only change the luminova color to be more 341 gen like (rep is too green) and strap.
I rock mine with a Simona Italian Stallion strap, nice combo, and one of those not polished, brushed, pig embossed buckles. I have only an iphone 4 to shoot pics so better I do not.
I do not like to wear rusty, hyper-aged, watches. May be I 'd like a liiiiiiitle soft aging, just an "insinuation".
This 48mm version (very wereable) is a rep of the modern 341. Bear in mind that rep case is brushed SS , it should be titanium for the new 341 model.

For a rep of the "original" aged 1956 2/56 I would choose the 52mm DSN big egi, with that type I could accept a lillte bit more aging/modding. Just a matter of personal taste.

With the 60mm, as many of you I guess, no matter new or vintage, I would look like a clown or Alice in wonderland´s rabbit lol :laugh:


EDITED...
changed my mind, I'm prepared to become the biggest clown in the world , you will even be allowed to laugh at me. If you send me one like that on the links bellow, I´ll promise to take care of itunk:...

P.S. please notice, even the real old thing is not too rusty, flamed, burned, mega-oxidyced, hyper brushed. IMHO modders sometimes exagerate a bit.
Just some rust araound the bezel "bottons", slightly rusty hands, and some hard to see "spider marks/cracking" on dial. That's how I would like my future DSN Egi to be, very subtle aging...
