632 or 005

which one and why?

i can get either at the same price ... i love the golden hands (loved them on my 372, but it was too big for me) on the 632 and i have mainly brown straps (from my past 002 and 061)

springbars make strap changing easier ... and 100m ... are ok, too, i guess, my 210 is 100m, too.

thanks for your help.

005 without hesitation.

Snap back case? No thanks....

Plus, the 005's black dial and regular lume will be more versatile, strap wise.

Ps
1000 is not limited & panerai has proven they do not mean it time and again.

16 is limited 25 limited 50 limited.

1000 simply marketing

In that case, why not the 118 or 564? Ti plus chocolate dials.

Regarding the 632, putting it another way, I would never buy it. Period. I view it as a regression and a mistake by OP. But, that's just my opinion.....
