wow, I could never pull that off

[B. Doggy]

The dude has a ring on that's half the size of the watch. Maybe that's what makes it look right.

[hflee55]

It fits him nicely. I don't think I can pull it off and I'm a big guy.

[Trurolexer]

Look so perfect in his wrist IMO.
I like this model, but difenetely not the price...

[TswaneNguni]

That was funny....

Is that a second PAM on the other wrist or a bracelet? The guy is a stud.

Right i,m off to the gym... and get some Roids.....

[VazLube]

Gee.. sometimes I wish I had his wrists! I thought 60mm was well, bit too big. If Panerai made 44mm versions then I'll be all over it!

He does use growth hormone & that thickens the bones, so that might have helped...

I would prefer to see him actually pose for the standard wrist shot, rather than distanced pics with the watch at an angle before I pass judgement.

I do think Panerai have missed a trick by not producing a 47mm version, but wonder how the purists would react...

So now Sly's up to 60mm what size will Arnold go to...?

He's Sly...He can do anything he want...
I think everytime Panerai launching a new product, they always give one to Sly...

If you pause it at 1.09, you get a good view. Too big for Sly IMO.

Just out of curiosity, is anyone buying the 341 to wear, or do you think it will just go to collectors & flippers?

Just collectors and flippers, you'll have quite a few paneristi who collect all this style of panerais, so they'll buy it, stick it in a case or vault and only ever take pictures of it. It's pretty much the same for all the old panerai's, not a lot of them ever get worn, just pictured.

Personally i think the 341 is a bit of a stupid watch to release onto the public market, it was designed to go on a diver, over his dive suit, meaning it had to be quite large, but for normal people it's just silly, hell it's even silly for divers now as times have moved on and nobody is wearing the dive kit that was around in the 50s!

To be the ultimate talking point for years to come at GTG!

Its not really a public release and therefore not a "stupid" release.Its very limited and very few will have access to it.Lets face it anyone here,with the funds will fall over their feet if offered the chance at MRSP.

It's a special edition that should be available for any AD or boutique to put their name down for, so anyone can join a list.

I still think it's a silly release as it's an unwearable watch that was created to be used in conjunction with diving gear.

As for buying one, i'd look at nearly every other watch before the 341, it's just too daft to put money on, other than to stick in a vault for a future investment, which i hate seeing in watches, they're meant to be worn, not hidden away and left to gather dust

[JRA]

It's interesting but the reality is that for common everyday use, it looks absurd. If it were smaller, say 44mm, it would certainly have more mass appeal but at that size it just looks silly. This is just my opinion of course...

[niels74]

i have to agree with Chris here due to it being so limited its not a watch for the masses as it is, and if the 60mm is to big don’t get one ... There are still people who do like these and would like to own one.

if they like to stick it in a safe, and enjoy it that way to picture or to show at a GTG, as long as they enjoy them I don’t see any probs with that. It’s a re-issue for what ever it was used, and some people just enjoy the historic re-makes , look at the old compasses nobody uses them but they value these to have in the collection.
