I have gen PRO-HUNTER SUB. The reason I bought it requires the PVD finish and the solid lugs/nylon strap. Plus Pro Hunter will recoat the watch every time it goes in for service if neccesary. If aesthetically you like them get one. I am lucky enough to be able to stretch to a gen, but if you cant go for it! As with all things it is purely down to personal taste!

I used to work at a very famous American jewellers, in their photography dept. We often used lights away from the item being photographed with large white reflectors (sometime 2 or 3 metres across) bouncing the light down onto the jewellery or watch to give large areas of "flat light". Also this made reflections less of a problem and often rendering AR coatings invisible.
Just my two cents worth.
