New Panerai models for 2009 just released

[volumecontrol2]

That watch still looks too big. I don't care that the original is worth a ton of money but it looks clownish. Unless you are diving the thing is too big. Only reason I think someone wears that is to impress other watch lovers because 99.9% of people are laughing at the huge watch.

Pictures of the new one on a couple of wrists show the lugs hanging off the wrist and the strap has to angle in towards the wrist. If you have 8 inch wrists it may look ok.

The 341 is my holy grail watch. I am 6'4' with 8" wrists so I could pull it off. I sure hope they make a rep of this, it is an absolutely killer watch.

You have seen wristshots of the new 341?? Could you please link me up through PM. Thanks.

tootall,

Here are some images from paneristi. Look at people with normal wrists and the luminor comparison. It is definitely too big. If the lugs go past ones wrist the watch is too big, plain and simple. Would make the perfect diving watch though.

I agree, as long as you don't wear long-sleeve shirts.

Thank you for those pictures. It may be too big for that guy. And how do you know he has "normal" sized wrists??

Take a look at the crown in this picture. It looks like a cheapo rep crown.

I found one more pic:

It looks alright on this guy's wrist. The lugs are not going out past the wrist.

I really, really hope a decent rep is made of the 341.
Just because the watch looks big on some does not make it a bad model.
By that logic, any 40mm oyster is a bad model (to say nothing of the Junior Miss sized DDs and DJs), because it looks like a friggin nickel on my wrist.
It's all relative, dudes.
I personally do not think they're designed with everyone in mind.
:wink:

Look at how much bigger it is than that 112!!!!

That's a clown watch on anyone's wrist. I don't care if it's an 8 or 8.5" wrist!

Here's another comparo shot from a lucky collector over at 'Risti.com that grabbed a new 028 to go with his original 028 AND got an Egiziano and pictured it next to his 203! :shock:

This simply reenforces my opinion that the Egiz is WAY to big for wear. Look at how it dwarfs the 47mm 203!

I would love to see the rest of this fellow's collection!!!!
