guru I'm sure the reflections you're seeing on the subs are from missing top side AR which should also be present on a gen 126610.

of the crystal which is colorless. That are great news. Finally Rolex found the way to AR. 1 layer of inside AR is much better then coating the outside. I am wondering how the Rep Fabs will implement this 1 layer colorless AR. To get it colorless is not such an easy process. Before it gets blue or brown I would rather have no AR on it. Let‘ wait and see what happens in the next month.

Hopefully fatarms won't tell you to open up the case with an essay on dial reflection
Clarity is not the same as AR coating. The clarity on my vsf 116610 is fantastic but no one is stating there's AR there.Last edited by Duckber; 14-01-21, 15:46.

Can't see why the 126610 does not...
When my 126610LV arrives (I'm hoping next week) I'll do a proper test and compare it to the Yachtmaster.

If your ARF SD43 has AR coating (not saying it doesn't) -- this means they are replicating Rolex's bit of AR coating, and that means that yes, Rolex has had a dab of AR coating all along and my initial premise was correct.
Or, ARF and other rep factories are for some reason adding needless costs to their production for some reason and are adding AR coating when the gen has none.
Which is it?Last edited by Duckber; 14-01-21, 16:55.
