Huh....I highly doubt this is the case. Rolex used to have domed plexis before which weren't flat and now you see in the Deepsea which has a greater depth rating that the crystal is domed, which is said to actually deal with pressure better.
The Sea-Dweller lacks the magnifier supposedly due to the crystal thickness which caused some distortion with magnification, although I've seen a member install one on a DSSD and it didn't seem to really effect magnification.
Rolex appears to have perfected waterproofing a watch so most of what they do is geared towards aesthetics it seems. Flat crystals, no AR, domed crystals...etc.
