I want to state once and for all, there is AR coating on the gen glass. I know this because customers bring in their gen watches to get the AR removed after it is scratched...... can't really scratch an AR coating if it isn't there no? The coating is very very thin though which is why many people who do gen vs rep comparisons think that there isn't any on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I say it mate because on the AP ROOs that I have had there has been no AR...and if you look at the specs on the AP site and elsewhere you will see the ROOs do not have AR... A thin coating or thick coating of AR has nothing to do with whether it will scratch.... or will scratch easily.... the hardness of the AR whether thick or thin is is about the frequency and temperature of the baking time and the coating method used.... simply making that statement makes me doubt the veracity of everything else stated... There is also somewhere a very indepth article regarding the production of crystals for AP and RM that discusses why their crystals are specifically chosen and grown to avoid the use of AR... So I am not sure quiet why you would say that about ROOs mate... I am not basing my comments on simply regurgatated comments on here...
