chrgod Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the reply! I contacted Uwe he could only do gold tone not blue like original do you know were they can do this? Would anybody be so kind to post some pictures on Uwe coating comparing to Chieftang and latest Taka! Kind regards, BTW Love this Forum!!

wiesn089 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 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.

Star69 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronoluvvv Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 i did send a request to Taka and got a factory response Then I asked for a clarification and the line went dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 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?
