Neither.
50 meter water resistance? No thx.

Pretty sure the p9200 in the 1111 is base eta mvmt with no frills.
Not worth the money for me. Lol
Ymmv.

Afaik u can’t dive with 50meter WR, even at poolside deck (not diving board) Lol
And not recommended for ocean.
Or any prolonged swimming.

The wr depth doesn’t really reflect pressure created by sudden impact of water

Personally, I wouldn’t wanna risk $25k watch to moisture, especially salt water.

01111 all the way, the way the bezel/crystal are on that versus the 01112 looks a lot better. Only downfall of the 01111 is if you really need a date, otherwise 01111

The 1112 has the cleaner dial.

I’d also echo what was said above about using it in the ocean, but YMMV

thanks guys leaning towards the 1111 again, it was in the shop for a while and they gave me the option of the 1112.

Having never seen either in person, I'd go with the 1112, but just based on not really feeling Panerai's chronos (although I like their monopusher versions.. go figure). Overall, I like the simplicity of the 1112.

Now that’s a proper watch for the ocean lol
Sd43 is my fav Rolex diver.

Btw if u r cool with 50meter, my fav rose gold/blue dial is pam659

https://www.watchcollectinglifestyle...-gold-radiomir

The P.2003/10 movement is cool as it gets for Panerai.

which would you choose?

I appreciate how cool the gold and blue dial contrast looks. But my mind isn’t able yet to ok a purchase of a Panerai in gold. I love Panerai but that love is about the rugged/tool watch appeal.
Purely personal but if you can bypass that , which it looks like you already had, then maybe the 1111 might complement better your SD43 yellow gold.

I looked at both the 1111, 1112 and the 1114. Went with the 1114.

So much misinformation in one post.

Must almost be a record Carlitos.

Especially the sudden impact bit.

As for my choice they both look good.

Ok. Please enlighten me, wise one.

The net is full of WR info.
Below is couple of snap shots from random sites
But they must be wrong, too

Would like to hear ur expert opinion.

I went with the 1111 when faced with the same choice (also have the steel version). I wear a Rolex anytime water is involved.

I think you made the right choice. The 1111 is just a much more interesting watch visually and mechanically in my opinion.

congrats on the 1111, it's a beauty. I personally went with the 1112, love the clean dial. either way that red gold against the sunburst blue dial is a killer combo. Enjoy!
