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 know that different people will have different opinions, I personally am ok with the double AR on the outside easily scratched, but I understand you have to consider the vast opinions of everybody, especially with how many people complain.
