I don't think I'd ever buy either (for "close" to the same coin, I'd buy an original), but that's me. The bezel on those things are so TALL. To answer your question, I'd go 025 between the two. =)

Gents, I know this is an old thread, but am in the exact same position.

Apart from the Everbrilliant steel on the 039 (which I do prefer) is the same all equal?

I like me a good bracelet, unlike many, I especially like the ratcheting extension on Seiko's pro diver's since I use my watches diving in anger . What is your preferred bracelet on these watches? Thank you!

the only bracelet that I've seen for these is a modified MM300 bracelet. The end pieces were slightly shaved to fit and it looked great; that would have your ratcheting extension too.
