I have gotten my first Pan and looking for a second well I bought the first before I found this site, and it has sent my mind spinning. I want to get a 111h but searching and reading all this talk of mod this mod that, has me seeing spots. A few questions
One what is a cannon pin fix??
Two, Swiss-Asian does it matter??
Third if I wanted the best accuracy great lume cannon pin etc. is there a place to get it with all this stuff done instead of having to ship it here and there?
Thanks for all your help.

the canon pin is the pin which is holding the hands and the pin should be flat and even with the hands, in other words, if it is too short you see a hole. In my opinion the asian movement with swan neck is also fine. No problems with it.
And if you want to get one which has all the modds done, send a mail to vaccum, he is a modder but selling nice modded 111's.

While waiting for Vaccum to get back to me I stumbled upon this,
http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=223
Is this a reputable dealer and also if I got this with the Lume and Cannon pin upgrade how is the quality and authenticity of this one.

Also another noob questions on the 111 what do the letters stand for E, F, H?

The letters refer to the production year of the corresponding models (Gens of course)....
A: 1998, B: 1999, C: 2000, D: 2001, E: 2002, F: 2003, G: 2004, H: 2005, I: 2006, J: 2007, K:2008.
At some point, I think "G" was the last, the movements which could be seen through the display back changed from embossed "PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI" to the current Côtes de Genève : the undulating lines, like waves...such as the 111H in your link.

For under 200 I would email D4M. He has the high CP and swan neck for a STEAL of a price. It has Asain movement, but I have no problems with it, but if you want to fork out the extra cash for a Swiss movement its yoru call. It should be standard rep lume, but if you wanted it lumed it should cost you about 100. So thats around 300 for a 111h lumed with sapphire, high CP, and asian swan neck. G/L
