justudor Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Dear All, I have always been intrigued by Lume and a little more recently, Anti-Reflective coating. IMO it really sets off any watch and simply exudes quality and improves clarity extraordinarily. I love it! I really can't stand a watch face being obstructed by the dispersion of ambient light across the crystal's face; rendering it hard to read; harder to appreciate the watch;and allow a silly spread of light over the face. I have really been spoilt lately by the AR on my Omegas. Please see some really amateur shots of 3 different crystals I have in my possession. Taken with an older Canon Ixus 80is in macro mode, and fluoro desk lamp as lighting. Steinhart watch, I believe has an aftermarket sapphire with no AR. Really terrible actually. Sunnydale 42mm double AR - really impressive. Genuine Omega 42mm double AR - also impressive. Sunnydale 42mm Double AR I believe this was the Omega: Omega again: Omega: Pretty sure the Omega is on the bottom, or furthest away from the watch head Omega on the right: NO AR: Snowflake homage with same Steinhart watch Hope this was interesting or helpful. I am led to believe Sunnydale is also opening up a new offer on AR crystals of buyer specified dimensions. Considering the great work as exemplified on the forums, you can't go wrong and would be silly to miss the opportunity - should you find AR as important and impressive as I do.

imajedi Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 To me AR is the most important feature of a watch. I end up getting all my watch crystals redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prancuzas Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Guys, just a heads up - sunnydale is gathering new run of crystals for AR treatment on the board next door I think it's a great mod for any watch at specific pricetag!
