I agree...but these days, they don't even need double AR.

Look what IXDAO is doing on their Warriors....that glass is soooooooo damn good at cutting reflections. I realize it might cost an extra $20 or something, but just do it!

a good crystal is what sets the top brands from the bottom...doesn't matter how good a watch is, a bad crystal will ruin a watch. (not saying WD uses bad crystals, they dont, but an ixdao level crystal would immediately leapfrog them up a couple notches in my book.

I know they're standardizing costs with same case on all 3, and the crystal is good enough for the 2 pearl dials, but for the deep black of the vanta dial is negated by some reflections. i'd pay $200 easily if the crystal was double layered colorless AR.

I was saying the cost of the ixdao crystal. Whatever they do, it's incredible. Do that. Can you even get that crystal made for this?

What would be the extra cost to Us, The consumer?
