Many watches have an anti-reflective (“AR”) coating. Is an AR coating on a watch a bad thing? I own several timepieces that have an AR coating and must admit that I’ve achieved a few hair-line scratches in the AR coating. The reality is though that many others would likely never notice. It’s only visible upon close inspection with great lighting. If you’re worried about AR coating scratches, you likely shouldn’t be. With that said, my timepieces that have sapphire only and no AR coating show zero visible scratches. If tiny scratches bother you then AR coating may be a problem. For most watch collectors, AR coating is likely a desirable characteristic. #Watches #TimepiecesForTomorrow
