I had the AR on my IWC Mark XVI done through Domi in Germany, as part of a service.

Just got it back. the result seems good.

Try Uwe, his username is FineDD here and on other boards. I had a watch double ARed there recently, fantastic quality and quick turnaround (about 1-2 weeks).

Here are some pictures Uwe sent to me after double-AR treatment (please contact me, if that's a problem).

That's my Seiko Spirit SARB033. It is supposed to have one-sided AR from stock, if indeed it does, it's really, really weak.

I'm totally happy with how it turned out, definitely worth every penny. Spirits are generally very good bang for the buck, imo this one is on par with some older Omegas (I think 2500 Aqua Terras for example - a watch I sold due to lack of AR btw), with double AR treatment even better. I wouldn't worry too much about the gold hue, you will rarely notice (at least I don't, and I constantly glance at my watches ).

Uwe's turn-around time is awesome, I think all in all it took 1 1/2 week, from my experience no one can compete with that. The coating is very, very high quality and very tough.

This is an example of Uwe job done on my 111

There is a slight gold hue but hardly noticeable.

Convinced now ??

Funny. Personally I don"t give a rats @ss about the how good it blocks reflections. I want the blue hue. Aesthetics over function

Taka has blue teint. I have one of his in my 3717. Its great and durable too.

[Rolexman]

How do we contact taka?

[ogladio]

That's a good question

[Star69]

Taka is MIA - or back ? not an option atm anyway - but he knew how good AR coating had to look like

Fine DDs coating looks like from an optician for glasses - not what i would prefer on a watch im sucker for the blue hue

Domi now offers AR - sadly didn't have the chance to see it in RL yet ....

cheers,

Frank

i did send a request to Taka and got a factory response

Then I asked for a clarification and the line went dead

[Magic]

Hi Again,

I've contacted Taka droped a service thru his website and send out my Sapphire.......

@Star69 why is Taka not an option atm?

Keeping my fingers crossed getting my sapphire with new AR-Coating back...

keep you posted.

Little panic here atm because I haven't found a way to get a new sapphire for my IWC 3756.... If any body know were to get it Please inform me!

Kind regards,
