Did Rolex produce a 16610LV with AR Crystal?

I've seen it mentioned on this forum around the 16610LV having AR crystal/cyclops on later versions, most notably V7 or higher and random serial versions.

Can anyone confirm this? If so, please post some pictures?

Thanks!

Yes, the 16610 in general had some examples with an AR coating on the underside of the cyclops. The ones I saw reached the shop from July onwards

There's a slightly blue sheen, and the date is displayed a lot more clearly, especially in bright lights

I think that all of the "standard" crystals are now coming with the AR cyclops..

Here is a G-serial Exp II.
