Something about Panerai. I sold my 111 thinking that I had gotten the Panerai love out of my system, then after about a month without one, I woke up every morning feeling like a giant piece of shit for not having one. I loved the 111, but hate the idea of buying a watch after I've already sold it. Much like going back to a girl after a break up. When It's over, it's over. The good and bad thing about Panerai is almost the same. There is a model and variation for just about any combo you can imagine, It's just a pain in the ass to research to find exactly what you want, as the Venn diagram posted earlier shows one model has probably a dozen combinations. I spent a while finding my currnet 024C. I wanted a polished bezel, and only A,B,C models had it. I can't find rhyme or reason for their system either.

Anyone have a comparison shot of a 25 vs 176?

The basic design language is very compelling to me, so the brand DOES have my interest and attention. That said, there are just an ass-tonne of combos and it gets mind boggling.
I do think that sandwich dial> applied indices> sausage dial. I could do a sandwich dial base model w/o sub seconds, but maybe not a sausage dial model w/o sub seconds. I know that so far I like the 111, the 176, and the subs.

Go with your gut. My first PAM was a 112G. I love the zero, 005, 111, etc., but two hands and the simple dial speak to me. While Rad's (210) and 1950's (243, 312) are awesome, they don't work for everybody. I have NEVER seen a Luminor cased PAM look bad on any wrist. It just plain works. Oh, and here was my first:
