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 gets my vote but I’m biased of course
