kingkaiser Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) 111 (although get the newest H-factory version), but thats because I prefer steel to Ti for simple watches. Just looks sharper IMO. Edited June 23, 2011 by kingkaiser
Lobster Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 They are both really great, I always wanted Ti so I went for the 177M. It feels and looks phenomenal. But now I also want the SS version, so it'll be next lol

loopy29 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 111m and 177 are both h factory, so very similar apart from the titanium. The 111j is from the noobfactory, so a little bit different, but also very good.
sempire Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Posted June 23, 2011 How is h compared to noob? I know noob is preferred for rolexes..
Lobster Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 The noob use a more "workhorse" movement and some argue the case is better, but imo the H-Factory Pams have been made very well and can be worn out of the box 100%. And as mentioned, both SS and Ti M Series are very similar and the difference will be obviously the metal, but the new 111M also has a cosmetically enhanced movement with the new platinum bridges etc and a swandagger. But don't let this be the sole justification of one over the other. Go for what LOOKS better to you.
koturbo Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 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.
sempire Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Posted June 23, 2011 I think I need a 111J on steel and 177M on leather..
Watchmeister Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 I own none of these but thought I had read somewhere that one of the two factories had cheaped out and used different bezel/case construction from the gen. Someone else who knows what I am talking about can chime in.
