This comment has been universally accepted across many forums to mean that Rolex leaves the crystals naked because the shine off the crystal is what Rolex buyers want...so Rolex gives it to them.

Thanks for the quote.
Not sure I understand the connection between the crystal being an “integral part of the design” and customers wanting shine/“bling”, so that’s why there is no AR coating?
