In Response To: Re: Planet Ocean Crystal ()

I wonder the same. You started the thread about
AR coating on the PO crystal and the discussion
progressed on grade of steel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway I try to stick to the original topic.
IMO it's a bad decision Omega made to add AR coating on the outtside of PO crystal. Today I checked at a local
AD and confirmed it. I saw the blue hue created
by AR coating. AR coating always get scratched.
I've a Sinn 656 and it has few hairline scratches
on the crystal due to AR coating. But good news is
you can remove AR coating by rubbing the crystal. Perhaps brasso or some abrasive work well. I'm not sure which one but I read people did it.
