Just wondering if all Sub C’s have a blue reflection in the cyclops? It is the same whether in the sun or not with mine. I actually think it is a cool feature, but wasn’t sure how common it is. See attached pic

Yes, that's the AR coating.

Do Rolex now do an AR coating on there watches?
I would say that's a reflection of the blue sky

direwolf · 5 March 2019, 04:51 AM

Okay. Thx. I don’t see it all with the SD43 for some reason.

Just on / under the cyclops. Not the entire crystal.

Rolex85 · 5 March 2019, 04:54 AM

are you sure it is not a reflection? I also do not see it at any angle on my SD43.

SeaDweller50 · 5 March 2019, 04:57 AM

AR coating is applied to all Cyclops since 2010 ish. That includes some 5 digit references such as the last of the 16610’s.

Thank you .I never knew that

Harry-57 · 5 March 2019, 05:25 AM

I assume it is down to the AR coating of the cyclops (under it I believe). I have a Carrera with the inside of the sapphire fully AR coated. If changes the appearance of the dial from flat black to iridescent electric blue, and everything between, depending on the angle and intensity of the incident light. I think it's a cool feature. My cyclopes sometimes appear to behave a bit like this.

Daveclock · 5 March 2019, 05:43 AM

Here is my since sold 2010 16610 with scrambled serial no. and AR coating.
The reasons at the time I wanted it!!
Typical, then for some reason sell it.
Now there is no Rolex....
Picture just to show the AR really.

Harry-57 · 5 March 2019, 07:50 AM

Yes. That's it.

Trepang · 5 March 2019, 08:13 AM

My 2018 Sub Date has that at certain angles in certain lighting.

Tony1T · 5 March 2019, 07:18 PM

Both my GMY and Sub have the blue reflection. I quite like it TBH

1William · 5 March 2019, 10:03 PM

Normal with the AR coating.

jrs146 · 5 March 2019, 10:59 PM

I’ve never really noticed. Now I’ll have to check lol.

Bringing this back so as to not start a new thread...

Are there known variances between production runs and affected AR under the cyclops? I have a 2019 GMT Pepsi with blue AR, and a 2019 GMT BLNR without it. A 2020 GMT CHNR with the blue, and a 2018 LVc without it.

For those who may say that it’s the lighting in the room, camera angle, etc - the difference is VERY apparent when you’re holding them side by side.

mgsooner · 4 March 2020, 09:18 AM

I personally have never understood the allure of the blue AR thing. I understand Rolex only uses it for the date magnifiers but quite a few other brands apply it to the entire crystal. If I own a watch with a black dial I want the dial to be, well, black. If I wanted a blue dial watch that's what I would buy. JMO

blada4life · 4 March 2020, 09:21 AM

I have it on my 2020 LVc. When I got the watch I immediately noticed it too. I don’t have it on my 2019 blnr and don’t think I have it on my 2019 bluesy

mykii · 4 March 2020, 10:01 AM

Yeah its normal, as many others have posted. Haven't noticed it on my Pepsi though.

Bybybmw · 4 March 2020, 10:01 AM

Don't see it at all on my YM and I looked for it.

jkocz · 25 January 2023, 04:05 PM

I’ve had two Pepsi GMT IIs. One had it (2022 card), the other did not (2020 card). My brother’s Batman does not have it (2023 card). I agree that it is easy to notice, not as much as IWC AR coating but definitely noticeable.

Gazoak · 25 January 2023, 08:16 PM

Yes, I noticed it on my BLNR but its not apparent on my Hulk or SD4000.

nini312 · 26 January 2023, 03:08 AM

Also did some researchs on this and it appears some watches have it

Hamza212 · 6 May 2023, 11:57 PM

Hi I just purchased a new SD43 from Tourneau. It has some blue on the cyclops. And my manager has the same watch last year it doesn’t show any blue reflection
.

Gibalok · 6 February 2024, 01:54 AM

With the blue tint Genuine Rolex now looks the same as the AAA fake

This is mine recently bought subs (2024). I cant stop think my watches are fake

brandrea · 6 February 2024, 02:09 AM

Is your laser etched crown perfect?

Sorry I couldn’t help it

Gibalok · 6 February 2024, 02:18 AM

I did double check with AD/watch master with check of the mechanism. And he stated that it is absolutely fine/genuine
