modelizer Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 @mogerene: The standard rep double AR is normally no where near the custom AR coatings available through members on this forum. A great double AR makes the crystal disappear (visually ) which gives the dial more of the attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already has double AR if i am not mistaken and makes the letters and numbers in the dials white instead of the default somehow more beige color. There is a post about this somewhere in the forum, not sure where anymore. It is also cheaper and faster (only for this model tough). But hey this is just my opinion if you want to buy one.

But you can find his web shop here: http://2geek.net/ Btw, Chieftang and Domi (both RWG members) can also carry out custom AR with great results..

So for us europeans Domi is the best choice when making the 3717 be more gen-like Changing datewheel. relume and AR for the crystal. So arund 300 usd for the watch itself, and about 200USD for the mods?? is that about right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I got the datewheel from Cousins and the crystal form Taka on the way.. I live in the EU so I guess Domi is the man to see. Can't find him though.. can anyone point me in his direction? Thnx!

Chieftang and Domi are definitely great members for AR as well. If i am not mistaken Domi sends it to K222 right? At least in europe Domi can sort everything out, for US members, you cant go wrong with chief. for Domi contact check this post: nick name: BRICCIOLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i am not mistaken Domi sends it to K222 right? Taka is a member on RWG, but not a dealer here. And I am pretty sure Domi does not send his AR work to k2222/ Jakub (or I sure hope not, as this guy dissaperared with a lot of peoples crystals and watches about a year and a half ago.. ) - anyone know who does the AR work for Domi?

mbjoer Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Taka is a member on RWG, but not a dealer here.

Domi uses FineDD on RWI. I have had a few done there and am pleased with the result, even though I cannot compare to what others make.

modelizer Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks mbjoer and Hugo for clarifying the Domi AR thing.. @mbjoer: How's the hue on the FineDD AR? Is it blue or green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
