AR on crystals?

[zetterdawg]

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

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.

Cheers,

thanks for that. 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,

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.

thanks for the info - well I'll do my best and if it gets sent back uncoated I'll just hope you do another AR Run

excellent, thanks!

I'm almost positive the B&R has NO AR as it was built as cheaply as humanly possible

Z,

One other thing to consider chieftang is doing seperate runs for single vs. double coated.

That Breitlng GT wants a double
