If you already had a 005 would you go for a 112 or a 000?

i am starting the hunt for another PAM down the road and am not sure which one to go with? i already have the 005 and want another one. i am considering the 112 or the 000. not looking to spend a ton of money and these are what i narrowed it down to. which would you go with?

Unless you really, really want another logo, I'd go 112. Or maybe even 176 to shake things up a bit more?

Since you already have a base, why not go into another realm? Pam 164 or Pam 88 or better Pam 320 with the inhouse movement

Pam 000 was my first panerai. I almost considered getting pam 00024 as my 2nd panerai member last year but i opted for the 1950 rattrapante instead, almost double the price but i think it was worth it. To start, pam 000 is not bad at all.

Why not try a radiomir? It would be nice to have one luminor and one radiomir

Go for something with a sandwich dial, and different from the 005 ...a 312 or even 320, if the budget will stretch that far. If not, then the 111 perhaps.


(btw, the 005 isn't a Base model, it's a Marina)

since you already have painted dial with logo so try something different like 112 for sandwich and cleaner dial
or may be you can go for radiomir (210,183)

I would go with a Rad, then back to the 000.

Here is what they might look like together. My 111g is painted dial like your fiver.

112 of what you asked, but a Rad would be a nice change up IMHO.

I would choose the 177 for additional variety. I love the darker brushed finish and the lighter weight of the Titanium.

as an owner of two luminor cased panerai, the 112 and 390.. the same bettarini case sometimes makes me consider to let the 112 off. and who knows, maybe i will someday. i think it's only a matter of time. but for now, it stays for sentimental reasons only.

point being, get another style of case: radiomirs, 1950, or 1950 submersible. when you want to change the iconic 44mm luminor(case style) u have in your collection, u can always upgrade the 005 later into something else, who knows what boutique surprise model this year OP's gonna give us?(ie: last year, pam 390)

really not a big fan of the radomir's. i was leaning towards the 112. i am trying to stay around the 000 or 112 pricing. i bought 4 watches in the last year and don't want to go too crazy. thanks for all the input.
