usually entry level pam fans would be 112.... as it has a clean dial... minimalist watch...very basic of pam watches.... if you prefer the second hands guess 111 would be the choice.....

personally, i'll go for 112....

I like 12, 3, 6, and 9 on dial. Therefore, I go for 112, imo. Just like the divers in the 1950s!!

Buy the watch u like. If the value goes up, you are lucky, if not.. just enjoy it.

cheerrs..

Erh, I think both the 111 (marina) and 112 (base) have see-through backs.
111 has the seconds-hand. For some reason, the base is usually more popular. For both, E,F and G are painted dials. Starting from H series, their dials are sandwich dials.
I say go for the 112.

i learnt that the base panerai are always the best bet ...
Even if value don't go up, it will never drop even when you use it and then decide to sell..
My vote is for the 112

got 111 recently.no regrets.

112 painted dial gets my vote.
both have see-thru backs.

personally i prefer the 111, for the seconds hand and sandwich dial.

more imptly, its COSC compared to 112 which is not.

[inf1d3l]

Cosc...

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.

bottomline, go with what you like.
there's some rumour that the 0 and 5 are going to be discontinued, hence the recent jump in their prices, probably around S$6200-S$6500 now for a new piece.
personally, I find the dial of the 5 too busy.
but hey, get waht you like.

IMO, 05 logo seem clustered

[icemangrafx]

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)
