Replica Panerai Egiziano PAM 341 Watch – The Lover of Sylvester Stallone

It is a protype of Radiomir, Panerai Egiziano PAM 341 was made for the Egyptian Navy in the mid 1950s. There were only 50 samples made at that time, so nowadays the watch becomes very rare and worths collecting. A lot of Panerai watch fans who are carzy for its fantastic history are seeking for such PAM that is full of the most authentic Panerai military blood. Sylvester Stallone is one of them. As the most tough guy in a lot of movies, Stallone is a big fan of Panerai, he was wearing Panerai watch in many movies. Like the below pictures stated, at the location of The Expendables, Stallone was exactly wearing a Panerai Egiziano PAM 341, an oversized brown leather strap watch that is almost 60mm on a tough guy’s wrist, I have to say that really few people could hold such a big watch, only Stallone I think.

Because the high rareness of Egiziano PAM 341, this causes a large demand, so many factories in Chinese watch market tried to replicate it. Here I will introduce a replica Panerai Egiziano PAM 341 that is manufactured by one of these factories. The case is made of Titanium, so although it is in 60mm size, the whole watch will not be that heavy. The bezel has 12 metal studs, there are red Arabic 15, 30 and 45 numbers on the studs at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. It is belonged to Radiomir series, but the watch also features crown bridge like other Luminor series.

On black vintage dial, all hour markers of Arabic numbers and sticks are all oversized. Central hour and minute hands, small second hand is running on the subdial at 9. The hour markers are brownish, which are like the tone of brown leather strap. Series name “RADIOMIR” is under 12 o’clock, the words “8 GIORNI BREVETTATO” mean that the watch has 8 days of power reserve.

PAM 341 Caseback

The caseback is not that vintage like the dial, the case back engravings are full of modern Panerai style. Screws, Pig and OP logo are clearly curved, especially the screws, they are absolutely the results of modern watch-making technology. So compared with the genuine vintage Egiziano PAM 341, this replica has a big difference on the back.

Photo Review of Replica Panerai Mare Nostrum PAM 300 Watch with Venus 75 Hand Wound Movement

Panerai Mare Nostrum PAM 300 Replica

A few days ago, one of my clients said he wanted to buy a Panerai PAM 300 Mare Nostrum replica watch, the steel model, and suddenly I realized that a big weapon has been in my store shelf for a long time and I did not notice its attractiveness until my client told me. Mare Nostrum was a professional chrono watch which Panerai produced for the Italian Navy in 1943, in its blood, it is a completely military watch, and for me, a totally military watch fan, it is a pity or even inhumane for me to leave it on the store shelf alone. Now I want to give a belated review of PAM 300 replica.

PVD Black Case

PVD Black Case 2

The watch is very big and I suggest watch lovers who do not have big enough wrist never try it. But it will be a treasure on the wrist as long as you could completely hold it. The case is 52mm, which is even much larger than most common PAMs. Matt finished pvd black coating on stainless steel, the case looks so strong and completely meets the military standard. I thought that the bezel flute is the design reference of all subsequent diving watches, including Rolex Submariner, Omega and others.

Green Nylon Strap

Black dial is protected by thick sapphire crystal that has double sided anti-reflective coating. 3-6-9-12 hour markers in white color, the central big dial has two subdials at 3 and 9. Small second hand in blue is running at 9, the 30-minute chronograph counter is positioned at 3. You can clearly see golden printing “RADIOMIR PANERAI” and “MARE NOSTRUM” on the dial. Most watches specially made for the military are fitted nylon strap, including PAM 300 Mare Nostrum, which is equipped with green nylon strap. The band has two tiers, the outside is green nylon, the inside base is genuine leather, this design not only makes the replica watch looks full of military essence, but also guarantees wearing comfort.

Venus 75 Manual Winding

By the way, the replica PAM 300 is equipped with a venus 75 working chronograph movement, it is hand wound, you can see another watch introduced in my blog also uses this movement, yes, it is Paul Newman Daytona 6241.
