'lite' means it has the same casing, but uses a cheaper movement than the non-lite model. In this case the lite model doesn't come with a swan neck regulator.

cheers tgd3, thanks for the info matey, i think the lite model maybe my first pam purchase, does the swan neck make much difference to the movement?

I believe the swan neck is used to allow for finer adjustments to the watch's accuracy. If you're not too particular about how finely the accuracy of your movement can be adjusted to, then it doesn't really matter (except in an open-caseback situation like the 111h where it's absence will be an obvious tell as compared to gen movement - then again, I don't know how close the rep movement's swan-neck is compared to gen visually)

for the money, just get the new 111j!

typically lite models are purchased when the A7750 runs about $600-$700, and the lite model costs $250-$300. This is actually this first PAM i've seen in a lite version, as the handwinds are usually less expensive. Personally i would go with the swan neck, because without it it's a dead giveaway from the gen.
I would also say listen to coldi about the newer model 111j. It has better daytime color to the lume, the AR is better, and has a nicer CG.

EDIT: lume at night is better too.
