Which one should I buy? 111H or 177L?

Which one is the best out-of-the-box rep?
And, besides that the 111 is stainless steel and the 177 is titanium, what else is the difference between these watches?

Buy the 177L. Far superior to the 111s available at present.

... or if you want SS, consider the new 005

The thought has struck me...
I do have a 177L on order, but I´m thinking of canceling that one and buy this instead.

You have a L on order? It is sold out... wtf.

Buy both. The 177 is light and I like that a lot. I have two. I need one more.

Tell me who the dealer is when you cancel so I can go and get it :D

Actually they´re not sold out, as I heard.
There´s plenty of 177´s to get if the dealers are willing to pay for them.
As I heard it, the price on the 177´s got higher before CNY, and that´s why the dealers stated them as sold out.

(This is just a rumor, though.)

Also it seems that the 111 is already sold. :(

Big E, you're FAR better off with the 177 instead of that watch, mate.

Personally I prefer the 177L, ... & if you want a SS model, go for the 005 :)

They both have their pro's and con's.

177L is superlumed, both hands and dial BUT has a considerably thicker crown than the gen. Also OFFICINE PANERAI on the movement is painted on.

111J is not superlumed BUT the movement text is engraved (BTW it looks exceptionally nice). Crown and CG are quite good.

I'd personally go with the 111J. I love SS and Ti is will scratch much more easily since it's softer.

Whatever suits your taste better mate. They're both super reps

This 111 is modded.
Anyway, I waited to long.
It´s gone. :(

Thank you to everybody that helped me with good advice. :)

As I said, that "modded" 111 was not a great rep, E. You're far better off with the new 177. Dial is better, CG is better, crown is better.
