hi,
i'm just about to order one but some of the pics i'm seeing demonstrates a not so clear crystal. this kills me as i'm coming from an omega LMPO which is terrific by all means.

can anyone comment about the clarity of the crystal?
thanks,
david

The LMPO AR is exceptional though. I have one sitting between a black bay and a Breitling SOA44 and it's incredibly clear compared to both. Better than any of my other reps actually and I've got plenty. I wouldn't say that the BB's AR is bad. It's pretty good. But don't compare it to the LMPO and then not get a BB.

My crystal is very clear (as in it us not misty), but it reflects like a mirror.

I have no complaints about it at all. It looks close enough to the gen. I think that is more impt than cross comparing across brands

The gen AR is hardly brilliant either mate, it only has AR on the inside as it's a tool watch.
Try wearing the double sided AR LMPO every day for a year and see which looks better.

I think the AR on mine is quite good. Nice colorless single side AR.

Never liked double AR. The outer becomes spotted all over after a long period of time. From many, I now keep a few Breitlings because of that.
