I own two PAM's as well, and I had never issues with those. (PAM 212 and PAM 141)
The inhouse movement from Panerai is quite new still, and it needs some time to become a "better" movement. Anyway, this is not always the case and I got many good feedbacks from different colleagues, they love their PAM with the new inhouse movement and had never issues so far.

With PAM's like : 052, 072, 074, 060, 141, 184, 185, 190, 197, 198, 242 should the risk a bit limited, because the have movements from another well famous manufactures.

Regards,
Alexander

To each it's own, but i prefer the 111 over the 312: don't need the date, love the clean dial of the 111 and better on the wrist!

Go out and try them

ditch the B&R and get the Pam111 asap. You won't miss the B&R

cd89068 · 17 November 2011, 09:22 AM

PAM 111 all the way!!!! But be warned that it will start an addiction to Panerai. Got a PAM 111 back in July and will have a brand new PAM 270 on my wrist tomorrow! Just can't get enough compliments at the bar with the PAM 111 and the strap changes make it feel like a new watch every time. The PAM 111 is quite possibly the best casual weekend watch ever with its lack of date and clean dial.

sallyhats · 3 December 2011, 01:09 PM

Hello everyone, ive been waiting patiently for a preowned 111 to pop up in classified section and it seems like no one wants to get rid of they're 111's. I found a 112 in mint condition, N series, with full 2 year warranty hovering just over the 4k mark. I really wanted the 111 for the seconds, but this price is really good, I think. Should I wait for a 111 or dive in with the 112?

CEG · 3 December 2011, 09:56 PM

ONE ONE ONE!!!

HyperM3 · 6 December 2011, 09:43 AM

I love my BR-03. I love my Pam 90 also. My B&R though is my absolute favorite to wear daily. Its comfortable, very legible, isnt too heavy making my arm swing with an additional wobble. I cant wear my Pam as a daily as I tend to knock it into things too much its so big. I dont care about who makes what movement and so on and so forth. I like how a watch wears and if it keeps the time correctly week in and week out.

Do what feels best to you when you put either one on your wrist. Decide how youre going to wear the watch mostly. Pick from there.

watchdaddy1 · 6 December 2011, 10:01 AM

Old thread-but what did you decide on...BTW 111 gets my vote, never bell a B&R fan

sallyhats · 6 December 2011, 11:49 PM

I have the BR 01, 46mm and its too big for me. Im over the rubber strap thing as well. Ive listed it in the classifieds, if it sells it sells if not ill just keep. Still looking for that 111 but im getting impatient and might pull the trigger on the 112 end of this week.

balak · 7 December 2011, 02:13 AM

Not so hard to choose here..

luni · 7 December 2011, 03:05 AM

Completely agree with you.

My vote goes for Panerai and I think that you will not regret it. Becouse with PAM you will get a lot more 'playfulness' / 'satisfaction' as you'll ever get with B&R.

I would sell ...

... and bought 111.

bugawako · 8 December 2011, 03:51 AM

I'd get the PAM and keep the B&R if possible.

balak · 8 December 2011, 06:35 AM

Also my suggestion is that you made a question, in an area we all now the answer!!Maybe you want to hear the confirmation!!!

mikelprz · 8 December 2011, 07:29 AM

Sell the BR and get the 111

sallyhats · 11 December 2011, 02:04 PM

BR is sold and keep your fingers crossed I find out if the AD has the 111 in stock on monday!!

Hopefully my next post will include a couple of pics!! very excited..

Come on...look at the title of this forum. No question here...Sub-C all day long (and night).

wsaraceni · 14 December 2011, 01:36 AM

love both. i wish i had the cash for the B&R as im in NJ and would take it off your hands. B&R, Rolex, And Panerai are my 3 favorite watch companies

sallyhats · 14 December 2011, 02:20 AM

Just an update the 111 has been ordered I am just waiting on delivery sometime next week!!!!

Congrats, I can not wait to see the photos!

p_mcgee · 14 December 2011, 02:39 AM

Congrats on the 111. That's on my radar as well.

As for the SubC vs the 111 question, its an apples to oranges comparison. They are both striking but frankly I'd rather have the SubC and save for a 111 next time.

The 111 was the less expensive of the two thats why i picked it up first, as for the Rolex im hoping rolex releases the GMT ii with the Pepsi bezel in ceramic. Then I just might be good for a while but dont quote me, I have an addiction... lol
