First Panerai: 005 vs 111
Looking to get my first. I know some of the key differences (sandwich dial, open caseback). Wondering if anyone has any input/opinions on the 005 vs 111

111 was my first. Loved it. It was really big deal to me at the time. You’ll love it

Both are stunning pieces and a lot of Panerai DNA.
The choice would be painted dial and logo or sandwich dial and no logo ![]() |

Both great watches. Like others said, mostly the dial. The hot model is the G series 111 because it has decorated movement and a painted dial. Only made one year. Find a full set from a solid source.

The 111 is what got me started with Panerai. I love it. That thing really took the abuse like a champ!

111G or any 005 would be my choice.

111, like most of yall. I just prefer sandwich dials. Might I also be the jerk that suggest something you didnt ask about... but I LOVE the 127. Too big for my wrist, but I love the look with that huge dome.

![]() This was my first nice watch purchase 15+ years ago, a 000. I considered a 005 but landed on a simple dial, which set the tone for my future collecting. My next watch was a no date submariner 14060. You can’t go wrong. Buy what you like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
