olegunnar Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hi IWC-people. One thing I don't get: in many seller's listing, IWC reps are often offered with double AR-coating and so on. I know and appreciate the concept of coating. But in other forums and in connection with other brands (i.e. Omega Speedmaster), such coating are seldom if ever discussed. Why? What's the difference? ole gunnar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Rolex don't use AR coating. Omega do, but not on everything. Breltling do too. Why you're seeing it more in IWC trades is odd. I don't know why this would be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AR is an obvious advantage, and thus a good reason to invest in IWC .-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typemono Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I think this is because of the heavy AR that IWC uses on its gens. Without the double-AR, you can immediately tell it is a rep so the AR is important. I have a rep Ingenieur and it needs a better crystal with double-AR to solve this problem. - MONO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMAC Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 hi does anyone know how to get AR coating on a watch within europe thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Chieftang is THE Top Dog to get AR from...unfortunately, attempts at coordinating efforts with AR in Europe using Chief's service have encountered problems (not Chief's from what I understand). Breitling is also associated with heavy AR use, and I think PAMs only sometimes. Some do the aftermarket AR even where it's not accurate because it does make the dial "pop" out like nobody's business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
