I still get lots of people asking about why the real difference is between the crystals.

Here is a comparison shot. Placing the same light source in the center of each crystal you can see there is very minimal glare from the Deep crystal vs Clean.



This is one of the cheapest upgrades that will give your watch a huge step toward gen.

If you have any questions please reply here or shoot me a message.

Thanks,

David

Need to do some comparisons against gens.

I’ve found they are far to “black hole” effect when compared to gens I install. My personal opinion.
I’m assuming that’s from the double AR they have?

Thanks @Karbon74 ! On the first and second pic, Clean and Deep are always at the same place ?
Does it mean there are more impurities in Clean crystal ? Is Deep better than gen ? 😉

This is just showing the difference in Anti-Reflective (AR) coating. They are in the same place to minimize variables. The only difference is lighting position. Better than gen? depends on what you are comparing. For the cost its much cheaper for a very similar product.

It would be interesting to have the comparison with the gen.

Do you mean it's the AR coating that makes the glass better than gen or similar ?
