I am finally sucked into Panerai! haha it has taken me a little while to move away from Rolex but I'd say my days of collecting a few pam is here, so to get the ball rolling I saw this 111h lite on MR website and liked the thought of getting an intro version to see if I liked the wear or not. What are your thoughts/ concerns of this watch, does anyone know what makes it lite?

Cheers

Get a hundred dollar sapphire superlume from Getat. Chances are you'll wear that for a week, order about 100 pam reps over the next year, then get a few Gens and never look at any other watch again. ;)

If you get the lite you'll never use it after you get a better rep and at least you can mod the crap out of that tat watch when your done with it.

usually teh "lite" versions refer to watches that would normally have a better movement inside, but instead they toss in a cheaper movement to cut down on cost. typically found in UPO's having an a21j inside but the buyer still gets a decent case set. not sure what movement they would throw in to replace the a64xx, but most likely it would be a non-swan neck regular asian copy... other panirists may have more detailed info....

i would also whole heartedly agree with the above statement that a good homage watch, with a solid case and checked movement would benefit you more in the long run, as you can upgrade it as you see fit to tinker later on... *which you undoubtedly will !!!*
Getat or Jackson will fill the Pam void for your first purchase, and are both very reliable in delivery...

then you can start ordering other Reps as you start to window shop and see what you do and don't like about the one you have... trust me, you will try many, and always find one you think is better in some way to justify getting it... the cycle continues!:pam:

Hahaha well... Got a 177h from a member who had vac mods done, sick. I Also ordered a custom 111h with dlc coating from sead, super mirrors over at rwg forum. Ab to pull the trigger on one of Goins custom 111h! So yeah, you could say I'm rather quickly fading from my rolex phase. The dlc 111 is at the post office and I'll put up pics/ review on Thursday when I get off work to pick it up!!!!
