Sub 41 AR question.
Having not seen the under-crystal AR on the new Subs in person before procuring one, I was a little concerned it would have a tint. Nothing irks me more than seeing a beautifully understated, monochrome, black dialed steel watch, with a garish turquoise AR coating. (I’m talking to you IWC!)
I was thrilled to receive the 124060 with a noticeably clearer crystal than my previous 116610, but without a hint of AR tinting. How did they do it? And why on earth aren’t more manufacturers using colorless AR, and keeping it under the crystal? |

my seamaster crystal looks much clearer than my BLNR crystal. There is some haze without AR coating. Hoping Rolex moves all references to AR coated crystals.

I can't speak to the color aspect, but I was a bit let down at how reflective the new Sub still is. Honestly, it seems to reflect just as much as my non-coated Seiko when I set the two side by side in the same conditions. To be clear, I don't want coating on the outside of a sport watch, but there is a reason manufacturers (even Rolex (Cellini)) coat inside and out.
