Makes such a difference!

Great pix Scott.

Says it all.

ecdc · 25 September 2017, 10:51 PM

Yep, sure does. I wish Rolex would put AR coating on the underside of the whole crystal.

VicLeChic · 25 September 2017, 11:50 PM

Looks sharp on a small surface like the Cyclops but I wonder if it would look that good if applied on the entire crystal. Wouldn't the AR kind of ruin the natural colour of the dial? Right now Rolex dials are crystal clear, no AR blue tinge of any sort, can this not be considered as a desirable feature?

Awesome pic love that watch!

Excellent shot!

On that note, is there any way of applying an AR coating to my 16610? Most of the time I can't even read the date bc the glare is so bad.

You could fit an ar cyclops crystal.

Is the AR also on top of the cyclops or just between crystal and cyclops?

No you do not. If there would be AR on the entire crystal, the watch will look like a Tag Heur, Omega, Breitling.

If you pay close attention you'd understand that the "white" reflection from the crystal is what makes Rolex distinct from a distance. This is what makes the watch look sporty and yet luxurious. The AR coating 'd remove this feature for the sake of a better view at the dial. No thanks.

Its on the under side of the crystal, where the cyclops is positioned, which means its visible, if the cyclops is removed.

That really is a great photo. I would love to get my hands on a new red Sea-Dweller.

Are you positive about this? Not disagreeing with you, but I hope this is true!

scroll down a bit and you'll see pics of where someone on TZ has removed the cyclops and it has left it's AR "shadow" where the coating is on the underside of the crystal

So there is 0% coating on top of the cyclops? I feel like the black-hole effect got less over the past years. As if something got more "dull and cloudy".

This kind of changes things, doesn't it?

According to this depiction, it appears Rolex does use AR on certain crystals. Regarding the cyclops, one CAN see that they portray it being on the cyclops and under the crystal as well, looking at the first picture, IF this is a valid picture.

The late V’s and randoms have the AR cyclops, I’m one of the lucky ones. Make a big difference imo. All service crystals now have the AR cyclops too.

I do agree, but this removes any doubt that its a tool watch... That is the definition of choosing style over function. Its not a bad thing, but that just made a perfect point. intended or not

I agree with the others, i think its underneath the crystal though.

brandrea · 13 February 2018, 10:19 PM

Nice capture Scott, morning

withthesword · 13 February 2018, 11:01 PM

is that an official pub? i'm trying to think of all the watches i've owned over the years and tried on at ADs and i can't recall ever handling one with what appears to be AR completely under, or on both sides.

the cyclops thing is believable, if only because we know for sure that it appears under the cyclops when it's removed

has anyone got personal pics of the different LEC configurations?

The general concensus around here is that the AR coating is between the cyclops and the crystal and on some references (GMT C) it is also on the underside of the crystal where the cyclops sits.
