Post subject: | movado horwitt automatic |
I recently purchased a movado 0605319. I am not happy with the crystal. It's too reflective. I should have watched the YouTube vid from this Site. You can see the camera in it's reflection. Hard to see the watch face. I am surprised Movado would have poor design like that. My Oris has a sapphire Crystal also but the difference is striking. Please comment if there is anyway to treat crystal To make it less reflective. Thanks |

You can apply anti reflexive coating but that would be pretty expensive. Better solution would be to buy a watch with double AR, Breitling for instance. ![]() |

As what BNewbie said, the AR coating would be the solution. I'm not sure what it would cost to have it done though. My Hamilton X-Wind's have awesome dials and you can see them just fine in person, but when trying to take photos, it is very difficult to get a clear non-reflective shot. (I guess a polarizing lens would help). I've always wondered about having an AR coating applied to my X-Wind. I've noticed that some AR coatings result in a much more pronounce "Blue-ing" affect than others though... I'm not sure if all AR coating are equal. I actually had one of mine removed on a black dialed watch because of the excessive blue tone in the light...and all the comment of "what a nice blue dial" ![]() The Breitling AR coatings don't seem to show as much Blue tone as some others... Let us know what you end up doing and how it works out! |
