J what's your take on double AR. I have it on some watches and stock on others. It definitely enhances the appearance but I think stock JF is a little more gen like. Curious to hear your opinion as someone with access to the best builds.

The only time I do not use 2XAR is when I have a really good sapphire crystal from a Swiss manufacturer (then 1XAR), or when I want to avoid looking at something on the dial. Otherwise I am a 2XAR junky. I even switched to 2XAR Rolex Xtals.
With gen AP crystals, you have an extremely high-grade Sapphire, so 1XAR makes sense, given the need to uphold the ROO sports image, and to avoid customer complaints about exterior AP scratches.

Many a dial fault have been exacerbated by double AR lol.

Did you install it on your Schumacher's too?

How'd you source a gen schumi crystal and what's the difference from a regular gen AP ROOC crystal? Auch, bilder bitte :)
