HauteHippie Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 AR coating will actually have slight color shifts from run to run. If we run a batch of crystals today, they'll look ever so slightly different than a batch we run a month from now. In any event, if you've never seen a genuine watch with AR then you probably don't realize how subtle the tint to the coating really is. And the apparent visual color of the coating will change depending on the color temperature of the ambient light under which you're evaluating the tint. There really is no difference in the purple or blue tint. It's actually the same coating unless they're intentionally adding a coloring agent, which isn't the case on high end watch coatings...

Chronus Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Omega is usually an AR coat on the inside of the crystal. Breitling usually does double sided ie. inside and outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Omega is usually an AR coat on the inside of the crystal. Breitling usually does double sided ie. inside and outside. Please bear in mind, many owners of genuines remove their top AR coating as it is easy to smudge or scratch, making it look bad. Therefore, I would go for just an inside coating.

I couldn't tell you what the PO is like. Ask cwai as he has a genuine as well. Personally I would go for inside coat and that's it But that's your decision.

Pugwash Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 The gen orange PO has apparently more AR than the gen black one, but I reckon this is an optical illusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavor flav Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 The gen orange PO has apparently more AR than the gen black one, but I reckon this is an optical illusion. should be the same unless someone removed the outer coating.

Pugwash Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 should be the same unless someone removed the outer coating. I had a gen black PO on my wrist a fortnight ago and it looked nowhere near as obvious an AR coating as on my brother's orange. I reckon it's because of an optical illusion caused by orange being on the opposite side of the colour wheel to blue or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shultz Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Genuine Breitling and IWC are usually double side ar coated. My gen Colt automatic chrono has a remarkable bluish tone while the IWC is more decent and looks a little bit greenish (the crystals not the watches... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I am surprised so many come with double coatings. Live and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 A member of this forum who had both PAM 111H and 112H series said that the Ar coating colour was different.. In the 111H was greenish and in the 112H was blueish... I can only agree with the 112I which is indeed blueish, don;t know about the 111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Not all AR coatings have a strong tint, I think. My Doxa doesnt have a tint like the Breaitling Avenger Seawolf rep does... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single or double? Just trying to get it right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
