Panerai 359, now what - 005 or 380 ?

Now I have the superb PAM00359 I want a base model to complement it.
I had Radiomir 210 ( sold a year ago and regretted it ever since ).

Thinking 380 or 005. The manual wind, sausage & logo dial and solid case back make them very much the opposite to what I have now and a great option piece to mix it up on occasions. Price is very much in mind, so leaning towards the 380.

Thoughts ?

I would go for the 380 for more diversity.

005 or 111

I'm a Luminor fan, so probably a bit biased!

I like the crown protector. To me, its too much of the Panerai look.

Cheers guys.

I am a bit worried the 005 is too much like my 359, although it will be more versitile with the ability to change to a rubber strap, than a Radiomir 380

I'll have to look at both when my dealer (fingers crossed ) gets an example of both in too look at

But I really do love the onion shaped crown on the Radiomir's as well
