Sometimes I think that's a decision on Rolex's part based on the fact that they know the vast majority of their customers wear a rollie as a status symbol. Legibility is secondary.

Reflect all the lights for maximum bling factor! :s25:

the public & rolex owners are just too easy on rolex by putting up with them.

Given a choice, I rather have AR coating on the sapphire as well. Couldn't give 2 hoots abt what others see or perceive about the bling etc. Ownself wear song ok liao. :s12:

Heard Rolex don't include AR as they want to make their watches shinier and more recognizable from a distance.

Ya, I heard of that theory before. They were saying that there is a distinct 'shine' of a real Rolex when seen from far.

if rolex pretends to care about performance so much, the least they can do is to add AR coating to their sapphire crystals to aid readability. even way cheaper brands can afford to do that. rolex is just short-changing their customers.

it's not as if rolex hasn't done AR coating before.

case in point: around 2010, rolex started adding AR coating to their date cyclops. not convinced? just go to any 2nd hand shop and compare.

so if they can do it on their date cyclops, wtf don't they do it for the entire crystal?

the bling factor "theory" is merely cooked up by some vainpot, "emperor's new clothes" rolex owner who cares more about bling (complete idiots imo) and consoling themselves for being ripped off by rolex, than basic performance.

being a rolex owner needn't make one blind to its faults.

Wait till you see AR scratched up.
Internal also nothing much.
Don't see a difference to me.

End of the day, it doesn't take them much effort for you to buy one.

Still, with all the complains you have for rolex, you still bought one right?
Lol

Why not email rolex your concern and see what they say?
I would really like to see their reply.
Or maybe they invite you to their factory for a tour on why they choose not to have AR on their crystals.
