I love it! But you already knew that... :wink:

Anyway, I do think some sort of AR is almost a must on this watch. The crystal on those beasts is like a mirror! I think this one turned out great, and the tint actually works really well.

I think that Rolex should give up on their, "NO AR FOR US" mentality and start putting it on their watches.
I think this looks very good, but is one more difference from the gen.
It also makes the un-beveled date window and non-matte finish on the dial that much more obvious.
I think it looks great, but not for when you are trying to look "gen".

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned this is possibly a case of a rep looking better than the gen... I never understood Rolex's stance on AR...

I like it and I think Bamford and Sons would do this mod so it's not un-realistic to have this. Joe-Gen owner wouldn't know his arse from a hole in wall anyway. Some Gen PO owners strip off and re-apply AR so I wouldn't be hung up on it too much. I like the fact that this isn't purple or blue either.

That AR is very very nice. Looks like it was meant to be there.

yeah like carlsbad said... it does show EVERYTHING on the watch b/c its so clear now lol If they got the date window fixed then it'd be different ;) In all fairness it does look great with AR.. [smilie=icon_cheers.gif]

The one thing the GEN needs!!! Looks better than the GEN by a mile, now if it only had a matte black dial....yummm!
Congrats, wear it it in good health.
Who did you buy the DSSD & where did you get the AR?

Looks great indeed!
...Since you´re on the way to "non-GEN" look, I guess the beveled date window wouldn´t matter that much, but IMHO, a matte dial would look even better there, since this dial it too glossy for an AR´d crystal...

It depends on your personal tastes tho, it´s just my point of view here =)
None the less, it looks superb and really interesting thing you´ve done to your DEEPSEA, fella!

Cheers,
Spirit.

Thanks. In these point i don´t care about the Gen-look. The crystal was like a blinding lupe, so i changed it.

Same comment like that last thread. Very fine AR quality but if you can get the blue tint, I guarantee you that I will send you a few crystals.

The way I understand it, the blue tint is possible but in this case it's not a very strong AR. The strongest optical grade AR has that rather unusual tint that you see here. For the strongest blueish/purplish tint I guess you're still looking at Chief...

@rooster: even for chief/Jakub ar at certain angle, you will see green tint. But bluish/purplish at other angle.

Every reflection have a colour. Look at the pix

Anyway, it´s a qustion of $
I can offer you the highest AR in purplish , but it cost to much !
I don´t want to earn money with it, but i have ask and it will be cost a lot more then 50,-€ for a double AR.
My AR is between green and blue.
