112 or 111 ?

[seadweller]

guys, thx for your replies and comments. seems like the 112 is a fav. among many of u ...but i am in a dilemna once again.. i saw the pam005logo one, and im in love with it over the 112 and 111 now ! what ya guys think of the 005 ? sorry if i very LOR SOR haha.

the more you wait the more the prices go up

COSC isn't always the be-all-end-all to enjoying a watch and i think i would never say 'ill buy this piece just because it is cosc'.

moreover the criteria for cosc isn't even as stringent as some in-house tests by other more established brands. to me, it's just a marketing tool... and a strong one at that.

with the largely unmodified ETA/Valjoux movements found in the base panerais, i wouldnt bother too much about whether or not it is or isn't COSC and just enjoy the aesthetics.

well said

Hi,

For me, i will choose in this order:

1) Pam 111 - COSC sub sec hands more value
2) Pam 005 - Logo series (very unique as others only text/letterings only)
3) Pam 112 - basic base ( should be the least expensive because it is a base)

Regards,
Jay

for me will be like this
1) Pam 112 - basic base (most overlooked and yet the one of the hadest to find)
2) Pam 005 - Logo series (very unique as others only text/letterings only, true)
3) Pam 111 - COSC , costs more hence yo're paying for the sec hand

111

My votes goes for the 111 because i like to see to the seconds "sub-dial". The dial on the 05 feels cluttered with the logo.

took the words right out of my mouth.
looking at the second hand ticking can be quite therapeutic too :P

[Destro22BT]

Marina for me, although I agree with bro Ender that the dial on the PAM5 looks way too busy.

[Bluedevil]

How much are 112 and 111 going for? I'll choose the cheaper haha. Can get ah?

[Destro22BT]

About high 5's for a decent complete set less than 2 years old. Prices are still shooting through the roof..

[Bluedevil]

Shops dont sell? Need to get second hand?

[Destro22BT]

Sure the AD's in Singapore sell them...but only if u've the connections to jump queue lor. Waiting list for such pieces are usually very nong...

112 for its clean, minimalist look.

OK. 111 or 112. It is time to think of what straps to buy.

The forum owner sells straps from factory direct in Firenze, Italy. And the strapmakers are the one who made those OEM straps for Officine Panerai from 1938 till 1997.

There is so much talk about Dirk calf straps, Simona vintage tan straps and Greg Stevens Design a.k.a GSD straps and I thought I want to share Viapaneristic website with you guys.

However, the price is quite steep like the rest of the European strapmakers
