omega1 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) Hello all, Just stumbled across this site and thought I would post it up. I know there are a lot of people in the US looking for places that can do AR coatings and re-lumes. Unfortunately, they are not currently doing AR coatings at the moment (quote from their site “We are currently looking for another lab to do our AR coatings. When we secure another vendor to do the quality work that we demand, we will be able to offer this service again”), but it might be worth it to keep an eye out on the site. Looks like they are in Arizona Here’s the link: http://www.everestwatchworks.com/services.html Jim Edited November 13, 2006 by omega1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I know that he does quite a bit of business for customers from genuine watch forums. If you ask him if he works on reps, you should also ask him if he minds being mentioned on the rep boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estaban Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 They will work on "hommage" watches aka reps. Their price is a bit higher than The Zigmeister on a relume. I had a PO that they did a waterproof check on. Good service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 The price for a dial relume is typically $78. Hands are typically $34. (12 Superluminova color choices.) Other services are quoted individually. Paypal is preferred. The minimum shop charge is $65. Info is from the Everest Watchworks job order form.

omega1 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Na, nothing yet. I don't want to pester them with a bunch of e-mails. I will give it until tomorrow and then send another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovepanerai Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have sent an email to them over a month ago never heard back - I need AR coating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hmm... No response here either. AR - so close, yet so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hmm... No response here either. AR - so close, yet so far! Guys, don't give up on local shops, especially if you live in a large city--I went to many before I found a small, locally owned "franchise" store in a nearby Korean neighborhood who would do it--I haven't had occasion to use them yet (my 51 is with The Zigmeister awaiting a datewheel) but I'll update as soon as they do the job.

Perhaps orange lume on the B&R that will be coming out soon? And then a PVD job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 i have a lead i'm going to check out this weekend, anybody know the going rates for AR? and what people are willing to pay? also - how much of a pain is it to take the crystals out. If this guy does it, it would have to be through me. I don't have a crystal press - I don't even have an easy way to get my own crystals off - is this something difficult? for butterfingers?
