Soon to come: European double AR [blue/purple]

[Rolexman]

I'm on vacation now but I just got confirmation from my contact. Will post more details soon. The coating will be on par with gen IWC, Hublot, Omega, Breitling etc. Color and strength. No soft green opticians hue!

Will do a free test run for 1 sapphire and 1 mineral crystal for a friend or veteran (shoot me a pm). If they are ok I will do small batch of 5~10 pieces. Price will probably be a bit steep due to the small quantity. But if everything turns out ok and volumes can go up the price must come down. Will make sure of that. Once again everything looks real promissing so watch out for the update probably around the end of August.

For everyone who ever wanted this. This is the moment stick with me and help me set this up. I need your help and support.

Nice work mate... I hope it works out I appreciate your effort and time

Sorry if this sounds stupid but if the samples work out... wouldnt it be better to get a bigger order together first for a lower price straight off?

At least that stops the first guys taking the 'hit' for the first batch

Sorry if thats coming across wrong mate ... I dont want to sound ungrateful of your efforts... But if you can indulge an ignaramous like me

This sounds wonderful Mark! Would love some gen like AR on my IWC 3714...

[Lobster]

Sounds good!!! We really needed this

[whoever]

how much would that be? Just to have an idea, having a budget PO i'd love to upgrade, but not sure if it's worth it

anyway, good news!

Thanks for putting the effort it mark to make this happen, what sort of cost would we be looking at as I'm very interested in this for my franken upo 45mm .

Thanks again

I hear you Pete and i understand your reasoning. But as this is new for me I feel more comfortable doing a first small run with some friends and vets. If things go wrong or quality/ looks won't be ok they are more capable of putting this in the right perspective. I don't want any Noobs screaming fire and murder if things don't go perfect right away and crystals need to be re-coated for example. If you know what I mean. We are in this together. Unless I can get 25 vets or fiends for the first run off course

My estimation is that if everything works out and we can do batches of 20 and up a price of around 80~90 euro is possible. A small batch will probably ly around the 100 euro mark.

Good stuff Rolexman, there is serious need for more quality AR options for the rep community!

[docblackrock]

Not sure I have anything in need (maybe 212 mineral now I think of it) but would be happy to support this initiative, long overdue since Jakub's unfortunate demise as a trusted member.

If needed I have a crystal in my drawer too.

Awsome, lets hope this works out. I got a few crystals that would need new AR.. but i also need someone to part the crystal from the case..
