Can go wrong with either IMO.

I went with the 000. Just something about it I can not explain. Maybe it's to Luminor case, Panerai crown protector or the simple dial with a Panerai logo.

On the other hand, 210 is a sexy looking thing.

They're both great, however my personal feeling is that Luminor screams Panerai.

Like many said before, they´re both great watches. The Luminor is what many think of when they think of Panerai, and is also a more "rough" watch.
I´ve had the 210 and its great! With the OEM black leather-strap it is perfect for suit, and with a golden hornback it goes with everything (except a suit, maybe)

I find the Luminor so much better looking with the 1950-case. I never had the 000, but I had the 164 (same case) and I sold it to get a 1950 Luminor.

Anyway, you´re in for a great watch!

Apples to apples I prefer the look of the Luminor, though I think the Radiomir is more comfortable.

111 or 005 over 000.210 or 113 as a second PAM

Only perfect answer is to eventually get both! Seriously no wrong choice here.

The 210 will sit much lower and although it is "larger" in diameter, it actually wears smaller than its 44mm counterpart.
