Feeler: European AR run.

Hi guys,

Because of a damaged AR coating on my Breitling I started searching for a good AR coater. There are some members on different fora that provide coating services but most of them have a yellow, green, transparent colour coating or are located outside the EU.

I want that gen like purplish/ ultra-violet colour AR like most gens have. E.g. Omega, Breitling, IWC etc. So the search started and after some weeks and contacts over and forth, I found an industrial coater which also does telescopes and stuff. I had some really nice chats about quality, colour and off course price.

At this point I can tell you that if all goes well I can offer a double AR coating for 70 euro ex. shipping. This price is the same that was quoted to me so no profit is involved. The bare minimum is 25 crystals. So the thing I gain is having my own crystal ARed

I'm still figuring out a lot of stuf. Like how to make this safe. Not switching or loosing crystals. Safe shipping methods, removing and installing crystals, preparing them for coating etc.

So don't get your hopes up too much. I'm in a very premature state and I still have to run some samples to judge quality and colour. If they are crap I will terminate this project anyway!

Just wanted to share!

PS: If someone has some better alternatives for a purple AR coating in the EU please let me know!
