jkarpas Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 basicly its the same watch almost.. i would go for the 177h as it is titanium and its lighter and also most of us here have the 111h , its a classic. so 177h for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 111h is a true classic. Hard to choose over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef, I use a PAM 036 , with a black dial and not a brown like the gen has, on a daily bases. If I had to make a choice between the 2 watches , the way and frequency that I'm going to use to watch would be the key factor. The titanium case looks the best but the material is softer and it scratches easily. So if you want use it on a daily bases take the 111H otherwise go for the 177H I hope this makes your decision easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam-O-licious Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) It really depends on how you dress... The 111H is a dressier watch while the Ti 177H can be used for casual... That's not to say you can't do both with either watch.. but, I would deffinately get both in the long run.. On another note: Man, that New 177h has got to be 99% can anyone point out a flaw? The font is correct on the 12, the pin is flush and it has a Beefy CG! Edited January 24, 2007 by RonCast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubus Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 i advice you to go for a steel one, as titanium is really really light wieght compared to ss one a pam is to be felt on your wrist, a piece of steel go wear with pride. But on the other hand, 177h is deliciously astonishing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovepanerai Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 take the 111 doesn't get any more Panerai than that - at AD's the 111 is harder to come by than the 177, my AD had a 177 on display now for a couple of months, but whenever he has a 111 it is pretty much gine right away. Taste plays a significant role on this one though - so ultimately you have decide whether you prefer the mirror polished 111 or the stealthier 177 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm in the same place. I love both watches but currently I'm leaning in the direction of the 111. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

explor_er Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 For my first I went with the 111H. It's been my daily beater for the last month or so, it's a great classic. Went to an AD last weekend and tried on a 177H and I was extremely impressed with the look and feel. If you can get to an AD to try both on it might help you decide. Either one would be a great first PAM. Good luck and let us know what you decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evanl Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 How much does the 177 weigh? I'm also deciding between a 177 and a 111, and I'm wondering if the 177 might be too light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavor flav Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 If you get the 111h, be careful not to get the Luminous Panties dial: that's hilarious! BTW..... start with the 111H .....then get the 177H when the 111H is fully modded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 BTW..... start with the 111H .....then get the 177H when the 111H is fully modded. Seconded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I think lovepanerai put it best: it depends on your preference between shiny polished steel and brushed titanium.... other than that (xcept the weight), both watches are very similar. ...but when you start collecting anything - especially watches - you can never go wrong with a classic...

stef Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 thanks for all your answers guyzzzzzzzzzzzzz Regarding your advice, I think I'm gonna follow 99% of pam lovers : gonna take the 111h. And flavor flav is right... [of course, "Public Enemy's number One" ] when it'll be fully moded I'm gonna check for another one maybe the 177 Anyway, Pugwash, my man, I'd be interested in getting this incredible "Luminous Panties", sure girls will get crazy about it Thanks all and I'll let you know when I get it (I will take photos ) Have fun guyz Stef.

mrnixon Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 that's hilarious! BTW..... start with the 111H .....then get the 177H when the 111H is fully modded. Which modifications are you suggesting of the 111h? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 hi, furthermore to the other opinions i can only say, if you like blinky watches take the 111, otherwise the 177. the 177 titanium is a amazing pam, no blinky blinky watch. cheers rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
