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.

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
