Mickey Padge Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have a Breitling ti chrono Avenger that really needs a new AR coat I had Domi coat it, but it was a yellow/gold colour. very effective, but not accurate. So I has Taka AR coat it, but it came out green, again, effective, but not what I was looking for Is there an EU coating service that can remove the crystal (from an empty watch case) and coat with a blue/purple AR coating, similar to Breitling and then refit the crystal? I could post worldwide I suppose, I would just send the case alone.... Domi gold AR: Taka green AR: Any ideas? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Honestly I would try contacting a dealer to get an ultimate crystal But going for AR which Taka AR did you chose as he can do a faint blue, I know because I have one. I think Rex can give you the Ling AR look or certainly his AR use to. But if you contact FineDD direct he might be able to give you the look your after. Have you asked TB? I think he can arrange it but not sure who he uses. Or buy used and swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi Pete, thanks for the info Sorry, but who is FineDD, and TB? Do you have a forum link? I don't use repgeeks though When Taka coated the crystal I asked for blue, Breitling style, but it came out green. After a long email chat he offered to recoat the crystal, but he couldn't guarantee it would be blue, so I didn't bother.... Pretty sure no ultimate crystal will fit the old school ti Chrono Avenger Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 FineDD=Domi AR no blue AR ... Domi only gets it from FineDD so thats why it might be worth asking DD direct as he has a seperate section for his services Generally though when domi gets it done it yellow on sapphire and blue on mineral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Mickey, "South coast" doesn't sound close to London, otherwise I'd say pass the case off to me while I'm there this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, yeah, Portsmouth is a good 60-70 miles away from London! FineDD is trying a few things out to get a Brietling style AR, he said he'd get back in touch when he has news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
