Panerai Egiziano 60, 52 and 47 mm Radiomir Egiziano PAM 341 ( Lots of PICS!!)

congrats !Good Morning Fellas,
I'm still on the hunt for the right strap for the 52mm and still waiting for the custom strap for the 60mm. So in the meantime I want to share with you guys the latest addition to the collection.
The addiction grows deep for these pieces, and when I was searching through the forums I came across the Rolerai... Needless to say as soon as I saw it it had to be on the list. i like Rolex but have stayed away mostly because of the size. I have a big wrist which makes me think the tiny little 36mm Rolex's look ridiculous on me, others will agree. This one is PERFECT for me, since it has the best of both worlds! A love child you would say between a small tiny Rolex and a Manly Pam!!
This is of course another one of Pratt's creation. When we first started talking about it I was excited of the possibilities, and the end result is nothing but SPECTACULAR in my opinion. I have said before that the perfect strap will take a perfect watch into the next level and this is true for this one as well. I thought about putting a Sand color Wootencraft I own on it, because I read somewhere that these were originally made for the Egyptian Army or something, but I am not sure if I got that mixed up with another watch I was reading about. So in the strap box I have found the perfect strap for it (for now). It is a Nubuck gator with Gold stitch, the only think I need to change on this combo is the buckle. I need to somehow source a 24mm tang Rolex signed buckle...
Now enough of my rants again, I present to you...

Thats how the watch got its name, as soon as Pratt finished it he posted it and someone asked if it was for sale. When he told them NO, it envoked the same reaction[emoji2] I would be in the same Envious position of it weren't mine.
This is the strap that I'm going to put in my Pratt 47mm egi creation. It's going to look just like yours! Of course, it'll have a different buckle.

i like this strap !!!
So I know I have been promising new PICs of the Eggis, I have been really busy with summer and the family and work has been crazy the last few weeks. I decided to take a breather and focus on something that would relieve some stress... So what better way to do that then to take some Pics of my latest additions.
I have described Survivor and have posted pics, and that first watch has led to the creation of the next two that follow. The first is the much anticipated 52mm Eggi. I received the watch and was going to have a strap custom made for it but a fellow member and friend offered me a strap that originally I had bought for another watch, but as fate would have it, it is the perfect match for this Beast...
The last addition was kind of a surprise for me since I wasn't planning on buying it, but the more I kept looking at Pratts thread, the more it kept calling my name louder and LOUDER!! Who am I to ignore the plea of such a unique piece. This one here I had a strap Custom made by Jeremy at PrimeStraps. I asked for something different and was excited on the outcome. But really didn't think it would make the watch so spot on. I will describe both straps and watches in a little more detail after some group pics of the perfect TRIO. I present to you the already familiar
47mm Survivor------52mm Leviathan
and
60mm HERCULES!!
For the next PICS I took a stroll to the machine shop. I brought along a few "Props" for the "shoot". My daughter saw them and asked me if I was playing with dolls... I told her they were "ACTION FIGURES" LOL, you will see what I am talking about.
I requested a strap from Jeremy at Primestraps since the strap that is on Survivor suits the watch so well. I figured I would not be disappointed and how RIGHT I was. The 60mm Eggi is a BIG watch the biggest I have in my collection. It is a MONSTER! I thought about having this one made for more of a "display" piece. But the strap Jeremy made for me actually makes this watch VERY wearable!!. I have worn it several times and it balances the watch very well on my wrist. I requested a canvas strap for this one and Jeremy surprised me with a vintage military canvas that he used to make it. It fits the watch PERFECTLY!!! I requested the strap to FIT the case and taper down to 26mm at the buckle but looks more like a 22mm. LOL The canvas had some markins on it which ADD to the great Character of this watch!!!
As far as the watch goes, like I said early on the post I just could not pass up this watch since it is so Unique. It is only the second Destro Eggi I have seen. Add the Sick Dial and aging Pratt did, this piece is a work of Art just like the rest of Pratterais.!!
I present to you Hercules!!
WRISTIES!!
The 52mm Eggi i had sent to Pratt to work on and I know how much trouble it gave him. I felt kind of bad that it gave him such a hard time but the end result is very nice, I was very excited wen he finally showed it to me. I had already named the watch and had been waiting for it for several months. I was extatic whenit finally arrived. Even though it is 52mm it is very wearable for me. i can wear it and it doesnt really show that I am wearing a "big" watch. I have decided on this version for teh base of the next project, but that will be later down the line. I will let my friend Pratt rest for a bit.
The strap was an unexpected surprise for me. A friend and fellow member actuaally picked it up. It is a Corrigia vintage strap. 24/24mm and super Long with a sandblasted buckle. Its almost as if Ihad it custom made for it. Thanks to [MENTION=47579]stockmover[/MENTION] for this amazing strap that jsut MADE this watch and completed my Trifecta of Eggis!!
I present to you
Leviathan on Corrigia Vintage!!
Wristies!!
You are all familiar with the first one, Survivor. I did nto want to forget him and here he is along with his Brothers!
Thanks to All of you for bearing with me on this journey, I hope some of you will enjoy the pics. Thanks to Pratt for making these AWESOME PIECES that for some weird reason bring a lot of JOY and Satisfaction when I wear them. It helps my mind wander and imagine crazy adventures and stories that come with the History of these watches. I think that is the main reason I am so drawn to the brand. I have more pics I took over the summer with Leviathan and I will no doubt post some more on this thread when I take them out on "Adventures"
Enjoy Fellas!!
