I doubt you will find a better 111 for less than $99. I have one with the deployment clasp, dagger and really like it. The blue tint crystal gives it a different look.

I have that 111 for $99. The lume is decent. If you let it charge outside for a few hours and come inside, you can see the lume but it fades within 7-8 minutes. I haven't had to adjust the swan neck because mine kept perfect time right out of the box. If you're asking what the swan neck does, it is a micro adjustment for the beat of the watch--lets you regulate it with great precision.

IMHO, if you're looking for a sub-$100 111, this is the one. Mine had NO hint of blue AR which I really liked. But, I didn't like the stickered movement because some of the letters were off centered--I just removed them. The only thing that really bothers me is the CG, it's really thin. I just ordered a new CG which I'm going to fit next week. I may try my hand at reluming too, we'll see.
