Mickey Padge Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) I have a genuine Panerai 074D. It's a 40mm luminor Panerai with el primero movement, beautiful watch The crystal has some defects in the AR coating, and I was wondering at the cost involved in replacing the crystal? Any advice or links would be most helpful and appreciated. Genuine or high quality aftermarket sapphire with AR coated crystals would all be a possibility, or maybe recoating the original crystal AR? Cheers! Edited December 3, 2016 by Mickey Padge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki6 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hey Mickey, good to hear your name on here again! Might be worth getting in touch with rnrprof or Uwe and get your crystal AR'd again. It will take away all the scratches and will be far better than before. I have a pam chrono 40mm, would that crystal help at all? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hiya, thanks for the info, I can have the defective AR removed prior to shipment, which may be enough for me, I shall soon see Why is my font so large?! Also, are rnrprof or Uwe EU based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Cool, good to know, now I know why Domi wasn't interested in doing it, probably not much profit for him. Uwe replied via email, looks like it's a go for crystal coating, unless the watch looks fine without. I will post pics for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesemonger Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Prof does some superb crystal coating work if you want to try him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Excellent indeed, but with an expensive genuine watch, shipping out of the EU isn't really an option. Hopefully the watch lives up to expectations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I fit many profsteve AR crystals every month, from genuine brand watches including Panerai, to replica watches. I'm in EU Mickey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
