I don't think this model does have any AR coatings....however if it does then yes you will be able to see it if you remove the cyclops....there are pictures floating around of a GMTIIc with the cyclops removed and you can certainly see the AR coting below the cyclops on the underside of crystal on those

Why don't you just have a non cyclops crystal installed and keep the original just in case you want to sell the watch?

The current 16610LV does NOT have any AR coating whatsoever, regardless of the serial number.
