Hi All, I'm a newbie on here, although have been lurking for some while.

I'm hoping someone could offer a little bit of advice on which purchase to make.

I've long been a fan of Panerai and I'm now in a position to purchase one, I have a few watches, but all low end stuff and nothing anywhere near as expensive as what I'm looking at now. This will also be a purchase that I do not intend to sell at any point in the future.

My options currently are a PAM00112, a PAM00111 and a PAM00312.

The 112 is around £6/700 cheaper than the other 2 but comes without a box and on a rubber strap, I would probably purchase an aftermarket leather strap to put on it.

I know the 312 is the inhouse automatic movement and the 112 and 111 are eta based manual movements, so assuming would be cheaper/easier to service in the future?

Basically, would there be any benefit in spending the extra to get either the 111 or 312?

Also what are people's opinions on future values - on the off chance I may need to sell in the future (hoping this doesn't happen)

Thanks all
