zetterdawg Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm about to send off my crystals for an AR application (thanks chieftang) I don't want to mess up and send him crystals with AR already on them. I looked and they don't look like they have AR on them, but I wanted your expert opinions. These are the watches: B&R from josh/andrew, the 46mm version Breitling Bentley GT Omega SMP chrono These are pretty common watches and I was hoping some of you guys could let me know if they have AR or not. thanks, Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I can help on one of them: Breitling Bentley GT NO AR Chieftang's got mine now, when I get it back I will post a pic. The easiest way for me to tell if AR of not is to look at your watch on your arm in a mirror from a few feet away, if the reflected light is blue it has AR.

I can compare the crystals to the known bentley GT one as well as running your test. I guess I'll just do my best, unless other people can pipe up and tell me if the B&R or Omega have AR. thanks again, Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 If there is an existing coating on a crystal, the coater will return it uncoated and you won't be charged for it. In the first AR run I believe there were two crystals shipped back uncoated for this reason. One was mine, and I was able to remove the coating myself and send it back in run 2. The only concern might be if there is a coating that they don't detect and coat over it. Then I honestly don't know how the result would look.

zetterdawg Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Re: SMP chrono rep ..no AR. on genuine it is single-sided i believe excellent, thanks! I'm almost positive the B&R has NO AR as it was built as cheaply as humanly possible cheers, Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Z, One other thing to consider chieftang is doing seperate runs for single vs. double coated. That Breitlng GT wants a double Cheers, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
