When I got it I was very disappointed with the AR, it had a prominent hazy blue cast to it. So I sent the crystal to FineDD. The photo shows the result, it is a great rep. And, I think I read it on the forum here a few weeks ago they have now fixed the AR issue.
I'm in a bit of a bind as well. I like automatic, sandwich dial, and the standard 44mm case unfortunately I can't find anything that has all 3. I like the 104 029 and 111 and can't decide
