I think both should be without AR, the 24A for sure.

Panerai started using AR coatings with their C series watches, so the 025D likely *should* have AR coating. Although, as with all things Panerai, inconsistency is the norm, so anything is possible. Honestly, I would swap the crystal on the 025 out with a cyrstal from one of the "Ultimate" autos and be done with it. Perhaps get Taka to AR coat it, to boot!

@COLDI - yes, the 024A is awesome and a truly coveted piece. The 025 has a better crown and CG (the inside corners of the CG are still too rounded, but all rep CGs are), though. I've heard rumor that DSN will be releasing a 025A rep later this week, as well. I'm interested to see what that looks like before I commit to buying one of these.

Yep, that's it. I like the bezel with no hash marks, but I'm not sure it's enough to put that watch over the top compared to the 024A, for me.

Decisions, decisions....

Good choice, Mambo. The cyclops is slightly too big (7.5mm instead of 6mm), and it should have AR, I believe, but these are wonderful watches.

No, not yet.

I'm still leaning toward the 024A, but I would like a Ti watch...
