" What and miss out on all the glare" :)

Hopefully it's only on the cyclops as stated. AR coating is really nasty when it starts to flake off, which I've had happen to a pair of AR coated prescription glasses.

[RollieVerde]

Read the crystal descriptions of the Submariner vs. Sub date, Explorer vs. Explorer II, the new OP, etc. I think it's clear they meant the cyclops, and although it is acceptable wording it could certainly be clearer.

I'm glad they don't put AR coating all over the crystl. My old PO had scuffs in the AR, and it looked awful.

[Psmith]

They are referring to the Cyclops.

AR under the entire crystal would be welcome.

Not all AR created equally.
Breitling's AR is fantastic, and very durable

x2. I love the AR coating on my Breitlings. Makes them much easier to read and also doesn't show fingerprints or smudges nearly as badly.

Not this again, people just can't read.

You sure are a gem. You sure say alot of things on this site that I could bet you wouldn't say in person.

If an AR coating is such a problem on the cyclops then why not just make the cyclops out of sapphire as well?

Granted it could be too costly.
