Next AR Run? When will it start?

[Steve G]

I really need a double AR run to happen...count me in for my 187, VCO, and Navi

[iluvspl]

I waiting for the double sided run myself. Chief just give me some notice so i can send mine off to vaccum for the removal and he can send them to you. What is the turn around on the AR process anyway?

[maxse]

any news on this?

[coolfire]

any news on this?

Seems quiet so far...

[yellomen]

Well.. i got at least 2 crystal for the next AR run

[HauteHippie]

Hey folks,

There will be future AR run(s). Long story short, I'm in the process of preparing a house to sell and moving my family about 3 hours away. In the meantime, I will also be starting a new job in the new locale in a few weeks, so will be on the road quite a bit (and away from my family during the week) until the house sells. I may find some time to organize more runs during this transition period. But, I may not.

Thanks for understanding.

Actually I'm starting the new job tomorrow, and will be logging in from a hotel room in the evenings.

The single sided run isn't back yet, which is a bummer because it'd have been much easier to have been able to get those crystals returned before starting the new job. Oh well.

....hope we can get all infos in the next days cause I will be starting my annual leave on Friday....and my SA crystal needs AR badly!!!!

Hey Chief... how's the new job? Hope you like it... cause we all spent way too much time away from home at work, so it better be good

Question to all of you... would it be better to have the crystal of my IWC CD AR coated? It already has an AR coat... double sided... but it has a strong blue hue... is this correct???

[b16a2]

It is indeed, IWC use a double AR coating that also gives off a blueish hue, similar to the Breitling and certain Omega watches

Strong blue, depending on what you mean by 'strong' as it is very subjective, is not correct. The blue hue is usually not in your face so to speak, but more noticeable under certain light conditions than under others, especially florescent.

I've said it before, and I will say it again, though... The color of the AR is less interesting than the performance of the coating. Professional AR - that used by my coater, and used on gen watches - does vary from run to run and from watch to watch. The way to judge a coating, therefore, is not by its color but by how well it inhibits reflections. The performance of a quality AR coating in inhibiting reflections on the crystal is FAR more noticeable than the shade of blue or purple.

I think i actually have a watch for this run - or at least the next available

[mack10]

hi - put me down as a +1 for a BCE crystal.

I just got it, but I want to LOVE it, and for that it needs a real heavy dollop of AR!!!

[mack10]

whoops - double sided of course!

How many more crystals do we need before the next run can be started btw?

[Nebakanezzar]

I have two for the next single sided run....

[Jawo]

I have 2 for either the single or double sided run. Whichever is the first available.

[Craytonic]

is it even open now guys?

1 for double...

[TomRiddle]

I doubt it's open, rumor is chief stopped doing these

...dying for him to re-instate it again though

[HauteHippie]

LOL... I shipped off about two dozen coated crystals back to their owners today, and there will be AR runs coming up in the next month or so. Just taking a break.

[k2222]

Good to hear, i'am in for 2 (double).

[lello]

I also need to get Ar coat on four crystals.

Not sure yet which ones single and which one double. :cc_confused:

Hi lello,

if this can help, all PAMs from 2002 and on are AR coated, all single side. 1998 models should not have AR coat. Unsure about 1999-2001 models.

Ouch...i suppose you won't provide such service in short time then...

I hoped not to have to ship my crystals abroad and overseas.
