I'm trying to find a nice budget A21J Planet Ocean. One of mine has pretty good AR... I bought another from Stan (WBK), and the AR is really colored/pronounced. WBK on the right:

Who else has a nice budget PO with pretty good AR like my other one? It almost seems like a crap shoot on what dealers can source.

Rob, the gen PO (until the most recent version) HAS really blue AR. I didn't know if you knew or not.

Rob, do you know if WBK PO has double AR? I would like to get one with a nice AR coating as well.

I had no idea...hmm. I still prefer the "disappearing crystal" AR though, even if it's gen-inaccurate :D

WBK's does not have double AR. I'm pretty certain that NONE of the watches with blue AR are double AR. It would be kind of pointless. ;)

Oh right since double AR would mean no blue-ish tint. Gotcha :) Thanks MrY

Exactly. If a rep had double BLUE AR I would imagine it would be nearly impossible to see the dial in certain lighting conditions, as well.
No problem :)
