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

    i like the 'bling' factor the non AR shows the contrast between the dark dial, the ceramic bezel and the shiny hands better imo
    it also lends to great pictures like these..how can u not like

    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.

    So much nicer without a date window to spoil the symmetry!

    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.
