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
