arminvanbuuren Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 hi i was reading colinmgzt's comparison on this watch.. and i've decided that this will be my next purchase.. but my question is does the gen have ar coating on the sapphire? because on his pic it looks like it does.. but on the tag website it doesnt say anything about ar coating.. its only on the calibre 36 chrono.. so can someone confirm it for me.. in some gen site they also said that they have ar.. and some site says just sapphire.. and another thing.. is it true that the gen uses swiss valjoux 7750? as the asian valjoux was meant to be a copy of the swiss valjoux.. does that mean that from the clear caseback it is really hard to tell whether its asian or swiss? or is it a dead giveaway? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do a search..the AR question has been asked before, Gen doesnt have it...but in my opinion would benefit from a nice single-sided coating. also a flaw in the silver and black face(non-racing) versions, the model numbers on the caseback are not correct...they all have the racing versions model number on the back, but that shouldnt deter you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
