Your SMP chronograph only has AR coating on the inside likely. The AR coating is not as hard as the sapphire is, so it is more prone to scratching. The old blue tinted AR is more easily scratched than the newer more clear AR is.

For me I like the AR coatings, and my view is once they become too scratched up for my liking, I will simply remove them. But it's a personal choice.

In your opinion are they easily scratched ? And thank you I will live with it hopefully till service if it's not too bad by then and have it removed

Really? That's lame, I thought they had it inside. The explains the smoky dials

Yeah, my guess is that, since watches are essentially jewelry these days, Rolex likes how shiny the crystal looks without an AR coating.
