Not for 16610, for sure, but for 16808 with silver lettering that allows you to put it on a 16610 stainless steel.

I'm in the same boat. Not a cyclops fan but as you say the AR looks a bit weird without it. If only we could get an AR coated non cyclops crystal. That would be perfect.
+1. If I could get an AR coated non-cyclops crystal, I'd have a perfect SubC.

That watch would look so good if the whole crystal was AR coated.

It has arrived! The green datewheel for my 116610LV...

How do you think it will look? My watchmaker is putting it in this Saturday!

Sorry for the bad iPhone pic... The digits are really green ;-)

These pictures are strictly for Dino as he has been patiently waiting for me to fully show my 18946, however, here is a YM2 from a boxer friend of mine that I know I wore the musuem piece and sought approval to display on this site... I think you can see my unmodified TOG somewhere in the pics Enjoy

Dino no problem on the display, however, please note this YM2 does not belong to me... It belongs to a boxer friend of mine. Glad you enjoyed it

I found the comment rather funny and Jocke's watch rather fake...

It's the original caseback - with an engraving.

I think you have to move the dial feet to get the dial to fit upside down, a decent watchmaker should be able to do that. I guess the challenge is to reattach them in exactly the right spot.
