kingkitesurf Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 Somebody pointed me towards the laboratory in Swiss where they do only one thing. They apply 3 high end types of AR coatings and top coatings on the sapphire crystals of the worlds best watch manufacturers. They are OEM partner for Rolex, IWC, Breitling, Patek and Ulysee a.o. I decided to call and ask possibilities telling them I have a starting watch company which is partly true (www.tngwatches.com). They have a revolutionary coating they use which is called durAR and is total colorless instead of blue and much harder and resistant to most chemicals! It passes all functional military specs easily according to the research laborant I spoke to. In batches of 15 crystals it will run 45 eur per chrystal excluding shipping. I am going to get 3 samples done with my crystals which is expensive but might be worthwhile. When finished I will post on the forum the pictures. I am gauging interest and am thinking to offer this service in Europe for the forum? Are there members interested in Europe? Or Worldwide maybe?
Mickey Padge Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 I imagine you will be inundated with offers, so many it will make your task very hard to manage! I would like to get a crystal or two coated for sure Good luck, I look forward to seeing the results
arniezac Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 It goes without saying. If the result is comparable to the Chief's AR then I would imagine you will be very popular in the EU. I for one am very hopeful that this takes off. Fingers crossed for your first crystals mate
Frankie Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 Count me in, just need someone to remove the crysals first
Member X Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 I would be quite interested in this also, pending seeing the results!
DaveC Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 Ditto to everything said above...I have a Tag Link waiting if your experience is good...
