HauteHippie Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 The run is full right now but there might be a few drop outs. If and when that happens I'll start contacting others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Don't forget this is the 5th run... And there can be others. The interest level is probably high enough for another run after this one. So don't worry. I just can't accomodate everyone right now.

maxse Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) Aghhhh. Just as I got into Professional school and was busy with my first week I miss this. I am about to ship a watch to The Zigmeister for mods too, this would have been the perfect time. I have been waiting for so long for this. Chief any chance?

bosk Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Am I the only one having a hell of time removing the existing AR? I tried 2N H2SO4, 6 N HCL, Acetone, Lacquerer thinner (following the suggestions via Chiefang), paint stripper (the strongest I could find that removes all finishes....2 hr soak). The results have only been scratches to my existing AR coat....the IWG Ti Ingy Chrono and IWC St exp definitely have single sided AR coating. I noticed the my 4th gen PO 42mm does too. The result that I'm having the best luck with is a dermel with the rouge polish...of course this method is only usable with a sapphire crystal. The coating comes off in minutes Attempt at your own risk -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer thinner and 2/0 steel wool has worked for me. I think The Zigmeister has used high grit sandpaper with success also. And, yes, don't try this on a glass crystal.

HauteHippie Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It is looking very likely that there will be spillover into another run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero1 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I've dropped out, as I was defeated in my attempts to remove the AR with steel wool and lacquer thinner. I'm going on vacation in 2 days, so I've sent the crystals to K2222 as he will do the AR removal for me and polish out any potential scratches that might have occurred. Were I not severely pressed for time I'd keep trying to remove the AR myself as this run is cheaper and it's in the US. But, alas I cannot, so I'm giving K2222 a shot. Should be interesting because I'll be able to directly compare that AR coating with previous AR coatings I've had done via chieftang (which were all incredible), so it should be fun when I get back from vacation.

I'll be patiently waiting in the wings, you just let me know when, and I'm there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
