fitmic Posted February 17, 2007 Report Posted February 17, 2007 as the title says, does anybody know a good A/R coating service inside the EU? Ask your local optician. They can point you in the right direction.
trombone Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Posted February 17, 2007 i have asked many local optican, but they all couldn´t help me out.
lello Posted February 17, 2007 Report Posted February 17, 2007 I have a very good friend of mine, who works in the optical industry. He told me he has constant relations with manufactures which can mke AR and he asked them, if they could do it on watch crystals. The answer was YES, they just need to make a special part, to let the machine working on watch crystals, which are smaller than optical lens, but they are willing to do it. The cost would be something around 25-30 Euros each, depending on the number of pieces. -- Lello. i have asked many local optican, but they all couldn´t help me out.

trombone Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Posted February 17, 2007 i would need two crystals A/R coated
jec97t Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 Actually, I don't think they would have to spec new hardware specifically for AR'ing watch crystals...many of the more modern frame styles are quite small so the technology is currently in place to get this going. JEC
b16a2 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 This would be a very useful service if you could find out some info Lello!
docblackrock Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Forza Lello! I have several crystals that need, sorry demand AR - first up would be my 187.
HauteHippie Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 There are European residents participating in our group AR now. For what it's worth...
HauteHippie Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks SSS !! !!! Today I have given my sapphir crystal to a local italian optician . But is not sure that the laboratory make the A/R... the price could be more 60 Eu . I am waiting for news... Mahler, you will want to find out what type of coating this optician applies. Most of the coatings applied by opticians are spin coats, which are not the same type of coating used on watches. They're less durable, and usually the color isn't right. FYI
