kbiz Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I was not impressed with the automatic crystal... horrible AR and crystal is too thick for auto case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swat_nong Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Have you try 1:1 Sapphire without AR from BigCrown or Mattuss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimerathon1 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 +1 Totally Gen in appearance, feel and the Dial looks amazing with the BC Matt or otherwise known as the C3 crystal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmurphy926 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 sonofa...oh well. I'm actually stripping my 111J crystal right now. I think the crystal is pretty good quality and accurate to gen. It's definitely sapphire since my dremel strip isn't scratching it. The AR just sucks big time. It'll be making a trip to the chief as soon as he does another run. In the end, I think it'll be a pretty nice crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 So I stripped the AR from the 111J crystal and it looked pretty damn good...until it was in direct sun light. The crystal doesn't seem to be crystal clear when the sun is hitting it at certain angles. It looks kind of foggy ...almost like there are tiny bubbles in the crystal. I've never seen this before on other crystals. Is that normal and I've just never seen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SERGEANT_AT_ARMS Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 It's normal for a low quality saphire. You wont see this in a Big Matt or gen crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 It's normal for a low quality saphire. You wont see this in a Big Matt or gen crystal. Thanks Serg...I gotta find one of the Big/Matt crystals. I have a DSN that was ARd by chief. It's a very nice crystal, but it is slightly pink. I want a really nice white sapphire crystal to send to chief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
