AR makes the dial look great unless it's off angle and exhibititng a blue tinge or showing smudges. Until (and if) it scratches it's not an issue. Even some scratches aren't terrible and can be tolerated. After that, it can be polished off.
Someone on TZOF claimed that Omega stopped putting the outer coating on X-33 crystals. Perhaps the future will be different.
My opinion is that if it's domed, reflections are reduced in size vs. a flat sapphire crystal, so the AR isn't crucial.
Also, some claim few problems with scratches. Maybe coating technology is improving. I'm waiting for it to trickle down to my eyeglasses...
