D'oh! Thought of that as soon as I posted. Always helps to ask for fresh perspectives though.

No worries, I would go 112 good luck

if a black dial like the 112 or 176, i definitely prefer the brightness of steel over titanium. however, Ti with a brown/chocolate dial is pretty stunning (for example, 36, 55, 56, 116, 118, 232, 562, 564).

112

I like Ti. It's warmer looking and not as blingy. Also lighter on the wrist.

[Lordofrolex]

112, i prefer the polish case

[tomilg]

I'd go with the 112...and ironically, I was just going to post my 112 in the TRF classifieds tomorrow.....Box, Papers and 4 straps.

I would pick 176, only if you can live with a few dings or scratches. I had 176 and 177 before, and they will scratch or ding if you blow air to them. :p

And I found the brushed finish to be so-so, the finish looks kinda rough up close for the price.

I would pick 112 if its my money. :)

I had two years ago a 177 titanium, titanio very delicate but beautiful color
Today I have 112

My old 112 and my friends 176, like both but 112 ´pops´more...

[Psmith]

Out of these two, the 112, but I'd take a 111 over both of them.

Pulled the trigger yesterday on a 510. I LOVE the base, but I also like the slimmer case of the new Luminors and I thought the 510 looked more balanced than the 560. Should get it on Tuesday...this is my first Luminor and I can't wait!

176 for me. Titanium when done right is sexy.

[mikkolopez]

112 all the way ... Nothing like cold hard steel.

Is the weight difference between the Ti and SS considerable? Wonder if anyone can shed some light on the weight of both.

I really love the case of the 112.

[synequano]

I have both 111 and 177,I do find Ti watches to be more comfortable especially if you wear it for longer period of time (10+ hours)

I have a 176 and chose it because of the weight. It is my gym watch and I do not consider it a scratch magnet. I also like the matte finish.

[juve]

112 for me.

[Joearch]

My first Panerai was a 176. Beautiful watch. Ti is easy to maintain with a scuff pad. Looks great with a variety of leather straps.

Hi All, looking on the UK Panerai site i cant see the PAM00112 or the PAM000 which i believe are almost the same with the 112 having a sandwich dial and open back rather than the 000 with a closed back and logo on the face?
Are they known as something else or is it now a watch that isn't in production anymore/at the moment?
ive seen a few 112's (i think) on chrono 24 for around £3.5k which seems to be about £1k cheaper than Boutique, they are labelled as Panerai Luminor Base Logo Acciaio 44 mm - is that the right version?

Would appreciate any guidance in making sure i get the right version and locating one either through boutique or through AD/Grey!!

I've had lots of the bettarini cases in Ti & SS . . but it's the Ti I prefer. I love the properties of the metal. Yes, it will scratch quite easily, but they can heal themselves over time (through surface oxidization) or very easily you can give the watch a complete brushed make over with a couple of cheap products.

I've owned a 176 twice, 177, 240 (tobacco dial) . . all long gone now but I've considered picking one up again recently ..

[yons78]

In this case I'd go with the 112.
