So, I was browsing TZ when all of the sudden, I came up upon this post with lovely watch shown:

And, those two pictures of a Radiomir (Angelus?) with a CG and Submersible look, took my breath away. Is a rep possible? Where would I start?!

Thanks!,

That is the Egiziano Panerai made for the Egyptian Navy. It is is 60mm and sports an Angelus movement. Here is a reference article:

Given the movement and the size I wouldn't hold my breath for a decent rep. If you check out the article you will see a good example of the movement finish selected for the contemporary 203. At least one of the vintage folks has made a "Little Egizano" which would at least be wearable.

So, im guessing that the 60mm and 75mm (L to L) is larger than any PAM case being replicated and, either:

1. You need to know how to use a lathe well

2. You need serious change

3. You need a custom dial

4. You need etc..

Makes this model very hard to replicate. Hmm :g: well, I wonder if anyone else on here or RWI is interested in contacting a dealer to make it happen.

Lets just wait and see what DSN comes up with over the next few months ;)

I even heard that it could be ready in a month!

hopefully it will be good enough to convert it to an Angelus powered one...I have a mvt waiting for that one!

I know the have the Large one and, they have a smaller one. I am hoping then that they replicate the large one. It would be something different to add to a collection. Even bigger than a 127 :o:D

if the case will be able to host the Angelus mvt we will need the help from R once again to make a custom dial for this one...

I will also buy one when the DSN will be ready, but i think i will mod it with the unitas; i don't want to put a angelus on a watch i will probably never wear; but maybe...

I search but don't find it, a wrist shot of this monster, it look very big; some of you maybe have this pic ?

i usualy wear a 6152 who is the good size for me because i have enough luck that it don't see too big on my wrist :D

But a 60mm ?

G! your wish is my command.... :lol:

I remember that there was a pic somewhere of the wristshot of the Egiziano worn by Ralph Lauren (he is/was one of the lucky owners) but I cannot find it now...then maybe it could be one of the pics I posted...
