Nothing in particular, I was considering buying a gen Breitling that has a spot on the AR. Wondering if prof is better than Breitling

I've had quite a few gen Breitlings. But that's a question you need to ask yourself. What are you looking to improve upon. Do you like the hue of the gen crystal ?

Yes and Maybe? I have a couple gen Breitlings and I would say the crystal shows the dial better on Prof's crystals, directly and at wider angles. Whereas a Gen Breitling are also nearly invisible directly on, limited angle until the signature blue hue pops out. Me, I have no issue with wearing a REP or a gen w/ PROF treatment.

Was just reading this and wondering, are gen Breitlings AR coated on both sides or just the underside?
