Fireman_Fred Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Anyone interested in having their watch crystals A/R'd? I am now ready to start my first "run". For details and photos please click here to see my original post: AR Service in the UK/EU I am able to remove/replace crystals in watch cases that do not have an issue with bezel/rider tabs (eg Breitlings!) but movements should be removed. Please send me a PM or email me at: arcoatingsuk@gmail.com for full details. Cheers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman_Fred Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Here are a couple of shots of my 007 LE SMP with double AR vs my gen SMP Co-Ax: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Wow looks great! How is the AR hue/colour at various angles, is it a blue/purple? Have you tested the scratch resistance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman_Fred Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Wow looks great! How is the AR hue/colour at various angles, is it a blue/purple? Have you tested the scratch resistance? Hi Mickey It's early days at the mo and I haven't deliberately tried to scratch the coating. Having said that, it seems fairly robust against general day to day bumps and knocks. The hue is more in the reddy/purple spectrum but it looks very good with a HUGE reduction in reflection from a standard, non coated crystal. I'm waiting for another crystal to come back for my SMP Chrono and as soon as it gets here, I'll get some photos out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Very nice, any chance of a pic showing direct sunlight reflecting off the crystal, like the first AR'less pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go Mickey, please excuse the quality of the shot, I'm not a very good photographer and I only have a Kodak compact, however, with one of our (very) rare hot sunny days in the UK, today, I took this out in the garden, in full sun : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Nice pic, but he sun is not reflecting directly onto the sapphire though, I would just like to see the AR hue/colour please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
