Panerai 911 or 995 ?

Which one would you take if wanting a green dial and why — but please answer ONLY if you have equal appreciation for both Luminor and Radiomir models?

both very nice, but I feel 911 is a bit more special, plus I like the crown guards!

995. It's more unique. That domed crystal is incredible. It enhances the sandwich dial and creates depth. If you plan on owning another PAM a definitely go with the 995. The 911 is more traditional if that's what you like, then go with the 911

995 for me. The combination of domed crystal and that font is just stunning.

Correct answer is buy both!

Tough call. I’ll say 911, but only by a hair.

Yes, agree that the domed crystal on the 995 is very appealing.

I’m a sucker for a domed crystal. Also like the cleaner dial, Radiomir for me.

Love them both- and both are "on my radar", if I can be comfortable with their authenticity. Even though I own a 915, a very similar Luminor, I'd still buy the 911 because of the story and there are enough special elements that edge it out for me.
