nicewatchdude Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Do you guys know any threads here that show the proper gen AR for the 111H and the 127? I have searched but to no avail. Or... Please tell me, is the AR on the 127 colorless and double sided? Does the AR on the 111H have a blue hue single sided underneath? If you can point me to reference that would be great! thanks!

deniz21 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 yes that looks real close, but when i remember the gen has a slighter hue, not so visible like this on your pics. but a little bit to blue me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicewatchdude Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) okay, thanks this is the REX AR treatment. Flav said it was like the older 111 Gen Pams as far as amount of blue goes, but I've seen it without blue tint and wanted to double check. yes that looks real close, but when i remember the gen has a slighter hue, not so visible like this on your pics. but a little bit to blue me thinks Edited January 16, 2010 by nicemetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veyron Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 The AR on your PAM is too visible, I had a gen 111 with single blue AR, it was very hard to see, almost if there's no AR. So it's better to have no AR on your crystal, because this is very easy to spot as a rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unregistered Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Depends on the environment. In doors with some normal down lights on medium, the crystal looks almost invisible for a 112J that I held at a watch meet. Outdoors in full sunlight, obvious blue sheen can be seen, but nothing as bad as say LH's AR. That said, between models it changes. 177H I've seen very strong purple hue (some pics over at RG), 104J in hand purple and 25H in hand purple under flouresant lighting 127 can't help.

Ronin Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Personally, I find the "standard rep AR" too blue. The modern gens have what appears to be a really good quality single AR. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Just my opinion, but, I would tend to say go NO AR or go Chief AR. I Cheif AR'd my 112h and 177h, and the pure clarity, almost impossibly to see dk purple/brownish AR IMHO makes it appear more plausibly gen. This is based on the quality the crystal takes on. If someone is going to call me out for "too good / better than gen AR", then they are probably a member here and better say so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
