Which one to buy? PAM 000/005/111/112

[Watch_guy]

I've been looking but I can't find a right answer, but does anyone know which one is most true to the historic Panerai?

Historic meaning??? If you mean looks like the oldest, I agree that a Base RAD fits the bill. If historic meaning the watch that made history and put Panerai on the map (IMO the 5218 201/A), then the zero is the choice...
The 111 is my last choice of what you have listed...
I would choose,
000
005
112
111
in that order

I agree with your choice list for Historic Luminor Marina line. I had the 111, but was not very happy with it, then I got me my 005, and I love it to death.

Found a BNIB 000 at a local AD for $3600 tax in, is this a good deal? Should I jump on it?

Great deal
It wasn't long ago that these were selling for over retail on the secondary market. If you like the 000 can't ask for a much better deal on a new one...

Yes, absolutely! Do it... do it... do it.
