rckh Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Dear All: I found this new Varcheron Constantin Overseas with double AR on RepGXXk. I always want a VC oversea or AP ROO for myself. I don't know too much about VC. Any comment from all for u? Is it only the Double AR upgrade compare with the old version? Let's discuss!

k2222 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I cant see any AR on this pics. Not single, and for sure not double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I cant see any AR on this pics. Not single, and for sure not double You don't see a reflection on this watch either, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2222 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Looks same as Ingie crystal, is not quality AR according to those pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 But Jay claims: "Sapphire crystal, with awesome double-sided AR coating" - and he hasn't been known to lie about his watches. Slow shipping - yes, lackluster communication - yes, misrepresenting his goods - not that I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Looks same as Ingie crystal, is not quality AR according to those pics ..and for you to truly judge that, you'd have to see a reflection first? I would assume the best AR would be completely invisible at most angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2222 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'am just talking about what i see on pics above, not about Jay. Check this out: this is very strong double genuine AR, very high quality with correct tint http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd225/k2222_photos/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Good AR doesn't reflect a perfect blue hue at every angle. It reflects nothing at most angles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2222 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) So Genuine IWC Ingenieur shown over there is not good???? Ok then. Edited September 17, 2007 by k2222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Jay posted this info on this forum too! http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=50065 Much better photos in regards to the AR, looks pretty good to me Cheers!

k2222 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) Yep those look much better, maybe there is some mix up becouse pics shown by RCKH doesnt look like those http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=50065 Edited September 17, 2007 by k2222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 So Genuine IWC Ingenieur shown over there is not good???? Ok then. I didn't say that, you did. I'm wondering how the absence of any reflections can be construed as evidence that there is no anti-reflective coating on a crystal, and the presence of reflections proves that the AR is better?!?

k2222 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) When i'am taking pics of my Ingie, without AR, sometimes they looks same as pics shown by RCKH, no reflections at all but kind of milky and not very clear. And BTW Giorgio pics You shown of old VC carry any AR? Giorgio - Good AR doesn't reflect a perfect blue hue at every angle. It reflects nothing at most angles http://www.chrono24.com/web/pl/suchen/u/in...anzahlgesamt=24 Edited September 17, 2007 by k2222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I agree with. Most of Jay's pics have a "washed" look to them, but if you look closely, you can see all the flaws, reflections, sometimes even fingerprints, so I don't think he does a lot of post processing, it's just the angle it was taken at.

supermanx Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Looks awesome (on the other pics silix posted), decent date window, good cross... Looks like a winner to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 AR is indeed missing somehow to make the VC perfect. I've the white one and would really enjoy AR. It's one of my favourites. So selling an upgaded version with AR would be a great thing. I am very disappointed by the pics which : - either don't show AR - or show it but really don't do the watch justive ; pretty bad for the one who wants to sell.

jfreeman420 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 AR Coating should make the crystal dissapear at some angles. Other angles depending on the lighting you may see a blue or green tint. The absolute best optical quality ar coating used in prescription eyewear should have no tint at any angle. So yes the best AR will ahve no tint and yes the genuine watches don't use the best available ar coating..........

b16a2 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Wow, what a difference, the AR really allows the true beauty of the dial to come through! How does this rep stand up in the other areas? The date window shape looks pretty good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
