Well, this may sound self serving as I am selling my 111J at the moment, but as a Panerai Nut who has multiple gen Panerai. I was thoroughly impressed with the 111J. I had been out of the rep game for a while and was so curious that i decided to order one of these "super reps" as a daily beater. The 111J is uncannily similar to Genuine. For me though, I have all stainless polished Gen Luminor's (112 and 000)so having never owned a Ti watch....I think im going to give the new 177 a try.

OK OK OK....thread failure on my part.....Preface. Im no novice when it comes to watches, or watch forums for that matter. I get the attack mechanism that goes into play when you get a post like this and figured as i am a novice in the Rolex area, that i would take a little $h!t from the masses....guess i didnt expect it to be this bad though. So, i guess il play the game and be more specific. I like bigger watches (you might have gathered that from the mention of owning several Panerai's) I want something updated (not vintage) I prefer black and stainless. So...i guess what im really asking is.....Who has the best sub? No...honestly I am in between the DSSD and the GMT II ceramic...and to be specific...is there one or the other thats considered a better rep out of the box? it seems there are several versions of both so just wanted to get a general opinion. Thanks

Right...I get the noobescensce comments, and figured Id have to put on the armour for this one, but in the hope of actually getting a legitamate opinion I posted anyway. So if anyone has an actual contributory response it would be appreciated.

What is (by consensus of the experts), the BEST out of the box Rolex rep? I know my way around the PAM's pretty well, and own/have owned several Gen panerai's, so i know what to look for in the PAM reps......But im looking to get my feet wet with Rolex and want to make a good purchase. Obviously a nice Franken is a good way to go....and i would love to find a great franken Rolex....but i dont wanna buy the wrong watch. Ive been researching for weeks and i'm just crosseyed over it at this point. Any advise would be much appreciated. Or if you have a nice Example to offer for sale? Thanks
