Are you referring to the 111j from PureTime? If so, I want an opinion too, it almost seems too cheap to be a good rep, yet he has it marked as "Ultimate"

SEAD will be better lume, better crown, properly spaced crown crown guard lever will be tight... and if it has his aftermarket AR coating - this is a batch of crystals he had AR coated by CHIEF - this TOTALLY makes the dial pop and its worth the price just for that...

its such a universal watch as opposed to a niche occasion watch...
spend the money - you'll be happy with it and want to keep it for a long time...

The puretime with lume mod was also my first 111 and it was a great watch, I'm sure you wont be disappointed. I later upgraded to a vac custom build and the differences were quite subtle so I think you made a wise choice. I've now settled for a 177L and if you can live without the shiny stainless finish of the 111 it's a fantastic rep and one of my favourites. Once you have the 111 on your wrist be prepared for a addiction to take hold!

You can always buy a 177 and 111 and make a bastard 111

Use the 111J mvt, 177 hands and dial, and the 111 case and cb.

Sell the rest to offset costs :)

If you choose Sead's you will be happier in the long run. For sure!
