Thanks for the pictures, very nice comparison although the title can be confusing. I thought you were going to compare Prof's AR crystal to Panerai (OEM) Stock crystal when it turns out it's Panerai rep stock crystal.

You have one too many PAM187s with prof's crystal. Sell me one. :D

Prof Glass or Prof Crystal is crystal where AR has been applied by one of RWI's Supporting Vendors, rnrprof. His work is so good, you think he cheated you because your crystal is missing. :lol: His section can be found in the link below where you can find contact info and some more examples of his work.

Beautiful pictures OP.

Incidentally, personal taste aside, is there a consensus on which is closer to gen spec:

prof x1AR vs rep factory Crystal

I know that x2AR is inaccurate for Panerai but curious to know how x1AR compares to gen
