Can you expand on this? Surely a nice dial deserves to be seen clearly at any angle?

Fair enough. I get frustrated with some of my watches that only have internal AR so I'm not sure how I'd cope with no AR at all.

Thanks for sharing the pics! I think the sub is a great watch even though I'm more of a Omega guy. Admittedly, I think they are still finding their way with some of the new models as they are insanely thick with the in-house movement. More importantly you love it!

I wonder if the brave person who took a torch to the watch wrapped the case and bezel in a wet rag.....or removed the crystal all together for the surgery ....hmmm

Guess that doesn't do much for my confidence in the pre-owned market...

"courageous" is not exactly the word I am looking for...

Only diamond can scratch sapphire right? So just use a chisel to knock your cyclops off.
