Panerai 111 K series. Opinions needed....
Morning all, I require some opinions. I have a K series 111 with sandwich dial. My 000, 176 and 411 have beautiful painted dials and am hoping soon to get the call to say a 390 is available for me.
Do I keep the 111 as point of difference or do I sell it and buy a radiomir, which to me suit the sandwich dial much more. Or do I try and find a g serial or older 111 and swap it?

Seems pretty easy to me....with the 390 you'll have five Luminors, so, take that 111 and flip it for a Rad.

That is what I was thinking, thanks for the reply. Think I will try and track down a g series Radiomir Blackseal or a 210.

IMO keep the 111 on sandwich dial and then pick up a Rad. The 111 belongs on a sandwich dial. Just my .02

To each his own. I think the basic Luminors, 111/112/005/000/1/2/etc look better with a painted dial. With all those Luminors, it is time to get a Radiomir. My vote is 210 > 183, both in math and watches. I say this and I have a 190. I was pretty sure I'd droop my 210 once I got a 190, but I can't seem to sell it. Hell, I wore it 4 times last week.

A radiomir logo 380 would go with current line up very well

It's a cracking watch the radiomir logo. Finding mine gets all the wrist time these days my luminors don't get a look in.
