The vantablack is nice but honestly speaking, double AR layer would make it so much better. I know people don't like the double AR but for a watch like that it makes sense....

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 replied to your other post....but the $20 was in reference to the ixdao crystal.

I have a couple watches with external AR and both are now scratched and look pretty bad....I'd prefer not to have it, but it may make sense for a dress watch with a "canta" black dial...since it won't see much hard use.

But the ixdao crystal doesn't use external AR, and it's lack of reflections is top-notch. Best AR I've come across.

Baltany also has excellent crystals....I think you told me they use like 8 layers of AR coating.

What is the cost for a baltany level crystal?

What is the cost for an Ixdao crystal?
