Double A/R mod.. 2nd batch done! tons of pics!


Recommended Posts

this is the second run of the A/R coatings group buy. i agreed to do the work for the members who didn't remove the crystals themselves.. the first pic will show the watches i completed last night! what a night it was.... lots of work but it's all a success and some very nice watches have now come to be! if you had your watch in this run.. i will be shipping out tomorrow usps priority mail so expect your watches back friday or saturday..

let me say this about the durability of these coatings.. i removed the outer coating on my personal bentley and it took hours and hours of scrubbing with steel wool and chemicals!! even to get a scuff it took over an hour of scrubbing! super tough coating and exactly like genuines use..

here's what i had on my plate at 8pm last night...i've always took pirde in a fast turnaround but this was crazy!!! .getting quite busy around here :whistling:

this is a comparison with a 111h i was also modding (superlume, cannon, lever, ect..) it has the single AR from the factory. compare the reflections of the recessed lights with the 183 and you can see the effect the double AR has.

I'm glad you all like the results.

Very interesting to know about the difficulty stripping this coating. That says volumes about its real durability. A couple hours of scrubbing with steel wool and chemicals is impressive. And to put that in perspective, I have stripped the rep AR coats in about 3 minutes with lacquer thinner and light scrubbing with 3/0 steel wool... So, everything my AR supplier has told me about the coating has been right on the money.

Amazing work. Lots of artisans here.

Maybe expensive mods to a replica watch don't make good economic sense but one has to get a warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction when doing first rate upgrades like this to any watch regardless of origin.
