So I will start of by saying thank you to everyone on this forum for the vast amount of knowledge I have collected doing my homework on this forum for the last couple weeks. This is going to be my first real rep purchase other than some crap I bought on vacation in Mexico a long time ago. I was pretty much set on an 88 and I was going to pick one up from one of our trusted dealers in the $200-250 range (don't have $400+ for an ultimate version). Now this new 111J is out that everyone is talking about and it seems to be a much better value for something in that same price range. I really like the look of the 88, but the 111 isn't ugly by any means. I would be just as happy wearing either on my wrist. Which do you think is a better value at this point?

Mate, don't bother a jot about value, go for the one you like best and that sounds like the 88 from what you have said.

Go for the 111, you won't regret it. Best to keep it simple with your first buy.

I kind of figured the 111 is gonna be the way to go. Is it really going to be a more reliable/durable piece?

I think the 111 would probably last longer bc it runs on a 6497 mvt. But honestly the 7750 is pretty reliable without the chrono. Buy what you want man or you will just end up selling your second pick after a few months to get what you originally wanted (trust me)

Yeah, I kind of figured I am going to end up owning both. I think I am going to buy the 111 for now and save up some cash to get a good 88 from DSN or Cartel.
