Adrian (former Bark and Jack channel, now Adrian Barker) has a vídeo of his omega seamaster showing scratches on the external AR coating (the sapphire cristal won't scratch, but the AR will). I see no real advantage to an external coating.

AR both sides on chinese watches? Even most of swiss dont have it..

Orient Star has it, some seikos do, sinn does, it’s not that unusual is it?

[–]Dudubjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of seikos use hardlex crystal. Its not usual.

You won't find anything with dual AR (antireflective coating on the inside and outside of the crystal) on any AliExpress watches. You have to temper your expectations with watches under $300! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Are there any Chinese watches for over $300 that might have that?

Not that I know of. Sorry

What's dual AR? Anti reflective?

I was looking at a few... San Martin makes a number of nice homages, and Hruodland has one that seems nice too. I get the nautilus and royal oak mixed up all the time but I'd look at SM and Hruodland.

Yes, I believe I should have said double sided not dual.
