Advice on 005G, 111J or 183K
I'm trying to decide which to go with of some currently for sale and see pro/con of all three. Is there any special consideration of a G series 005 as compared to the current series? Also, which seems to be the preference of look on these dials, painted or sandwich? If painted, do the numbers stay solid over a number of years or does the luminous material starty flaking over time? Thanks for the advice.

Those 3 listed all use superluminova
so they should stay solid for quite some time. Older Panerai's which use tritium instead of superluminova are the models you need to worry about flaking over time. It seems more people like the sandwich look over the painted look IMO. But it's good to hav...
i picked 183 because
- my first pam - like radiomir classic looks -love the sandwich dial though lumonor is very nice wiyh sporty looks , and prefer 000. IMHO thanks
In addition to what have been mentioned.....
i would said if u have extra funds, get both. A 005 or 111 and a183. Why? , A 005 and 111 is more of a weekend or casual wear and the 183 is more formal-in my own opinion.
111 was my first
it has everything panerai: the crown guard, sandwitch dial, manual winding movement
