I really like my 111
I really think this is a great every day watch, at first I didn't like the seconds hand but I warmed up to it.

Really! I love the 111 and the 2nd hand is awesome!
I saw one in the wild a few weeks ago and went right to my AD to try one on.
Wish I could get one as a daily wearer.

Wear yours in the best of health!
Cheers!

Very nice!

But, Are you sure its a 111? I thought 111 was sandwich?

Apologies if I am wrong.

The newer ones are sandwich. The older ones, including mine, were sausage dials.

It's a G series, which is kind of cool because it has the sausage dial and the Panerai engraved movement (unlike the newer Cotes-de-Geneve) along with some other features:

I do not understand the explanation. When start Panerai with the sandwich model?

The g is a transitional model, with the movement, dial, crown guard.

Sandwich started with h on the 111.
