b16a2 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Ok, I have been browsing the internet looking for companies who might offer an AR coating in the EU/UK. I have come across this company..... http://www.diamondcoatings.co.uk/products4.html#products I haven't made contact with them as yet, but if there is enough intereset it may be worth approaching them I don't have the equipment to measure crystals to ensure everyone receives the correct crystal etc... and neither do I have the time. If there is anyone who would be willing to conduct a group AR service and make contact with the company if there is interest, then it would be of great benefit to our community. If it turns out that the company doesn't provide the service then I have found a couple of other firms who might be willing to do so, but from the website this looked the most promising B16a2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I was chatting with an optician about this in Germany the other day, he has a lab where he sends his glasses to to get it done but was not sure if they would do watch crystals, I have to pop in again this week i will enquire some more, as i have a railmaster case and crystal i could do with getting done.

b16a2 Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Ok so far we have 10 interested parties. It's only been up for a few hours so Il contact them tomorrow and see what they say. I think at this rate we could easily muster 20 crystals. Il keep everyone updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a dream: a EU located The Zigmeister.... offering AR, service, date wheel change etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Count me in for AR if available in EU. Sure, we need someone who would remove/refit the crystals though... Pug ? Personaly I would agree to pay for this and for the AR coating itself. Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Like the human spleen, removing a crystal is a quick and simple procedure... Reinstalling however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzanine Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I'm not in Europe, but the dial on my PP Nautilus is so beautiful that I'm thinking I want it AR'd to take it to another level. Maybe I could ship my watch to The Zigmeister for the crystal removal and re-seating, but I'm not sure if he's back on the job at this point...I think he might still be on his deserved vacation.

b16a2 Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Point noted, thanks CC. I have sent the company an email, stating that they are watch crystals and the requirement, Il see what they come back with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he_haupt Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 what about one of our honorable eu-dealers; offering high-end replicas, service and modding (ar, date wheel change etc.) would be fantastic a one stop rep-watch shop what do you think pt?

Chronus Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'd be interested depending on cost and whether I can afford it. I may well have a few to do. I don't know how to remove the crystal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 See K222's post, he has an AR coating service available in Europe. The pictures as shown by his previous run are somewhat incredible! So Il leave this little avenue closed for now, unless in the future K222 stops the AR runs and we require another to be started.
