aeroflott Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Anyone have any views on this or actually done it? I think I'm right in saying the gen does not have AR, but any views on what this might lok like on a rep? Cheers A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I am thinking about the same.. The Carrera chrono would look good with AR! The original does not have it, as you say. On Timezone several owners are complaining about the glare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'm sending my Link and Aquaracer off tomorrow for double AR. If it appeals to you, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsy Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) I was talking to King about a Carrera order and she does a version with AR (pics on her site afaik), but I chose non AR simply because its closer to gen.

k2222 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I did few Tag Links and just can not understand how people read time from this watch when is not ARed, this is like a mirror, is Carrera the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3k0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I did few Tag Links and just can not understand how people read time from this watch when is not ARed, this is like a mirror, is Carrera the same? Yup, Carrera is the same, black dial and slightly curved crystal, mirror-like effect regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2222 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 i can understand it on models linke Monaco, which is classic and vintage, but why on those new ones??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suchecracks Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Just a shot of the gen, to consider: I dont mind the reflections - but they could be worse on the black dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 The main reason I traded my Link chrono was the extremely reflective dial. The gen is similar in that regard... not good. AR isn't a necessity, but some watches definitely should have it. Link is a good example. However, the rep Aquaracer single AR is perfect. The dial is extremely readable and sharp, with zero reflections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mglsegrand Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have king's carrera with AR on the way. I'll post pics ad impressions when I get it. -first post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused69u Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) I just received my Carrera sport version from Silix and wished it had A/R but other than that, it is simply stunning especially the rubber strap. Does anyone know how to reset the damn subdials? all three keep moving albeit at different paces.

Newdoc Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Get it AR'd.... at the heart of the substance of a wrist watch, especially one this size, is telling the time quickly, right? Even if I had the gen I would get AR on it. Why spend this kind of money on a time piece and not be able to tell the time easily? That being said, the rest of the rep had better be impeccable if you plan on defending its authenticity, because anyone who knows watches will scrutinize it more closely if they notice that it has AR, and you have to be able to back it up.

musicale Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 k2222 is doing AR on my Carrera and Link as I speak. They are going to be GORGEOUS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
