RWG Technical Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 So, I was assembling the latest run of AR crystals into the watches...and Jennifer who does the final inspection and shipping is checking them over...polishing them, looking for lint, etc... Jennifer picks up this one watch, and says to herself: "WOW, this AR is amazing, I can't even tell that there is a crystal installed (you know where this is going)... I'll just give the crystal a GOOD wipe down and make sure it's all ok...ahhhhh....." The only problem was that I hadn't installed the crystal on this particular watch... So be careful with your Chieftang AR'd watch, double check that the crystal is actually in place, before you give it a polish. (The watch was unharmed, slightly bent hands which were easily fixed).

Corgi Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I am definitely going to have to get one of my pieces AR'd by chieftang (or k2222) because I am bombarded with praise about these on a daily basis... but which one?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordRasta Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I just got my Aquaracer and Ayrton Senna TAG back today. I take them out and while in a trance, my wife looks over my shoulder and goes "you need to send that back! they forgot to put the glass back on!" LOL. Great jobs by The Zigmeister and chief!

ta8088 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 LOL. Figured that's where this one was going. I have a bunch of stuff that needs AR but the ones that I have that are done look fantastic. Have gotten more than few "did the glass fall out" comments. Glad the bent hands were easily fixed.

Toadtorrent Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 So be careful with your Chieftang AR'd watch, double check that the crystal is actually in place, before you give it a polish. Rob, is it possible for you to install a sticker as pictured below on any super-AR'd watch to avoid this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Rob, is it possible for you to install a sticker as pictured below on any super-AR'd watch to avoid this problem? Great idea! Perhaps Chieftang and Jakub can start supplying Thin Red Line stickers for their crystals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Damn and double damn. The watch I most wanted to have the chieftang AR treatment -- my Chopard GMT-- is ineligible due to being a sandwich crystal. The Zigmeister's post forces me to select another good candidate. Greetings and best wishes to Rob, Jennifer, and the Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 LOL - I'll have to drop her an email and tease her about that one (this is the first time I'm seeing this thread)... Along similar lines though, I posted a pic of someone's watch - I don't remember whose - in the pics thread and he PMed me saying "Well, that particular shot was actually without the crystal." Hehe... I can't tell the difference anymore. And of course, I replaced that pic with another where there actually was a crystal installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Stub a finger on a crystal you thought wasnt there? Out of sheer curiousity, something makes me want to see a non-date sub or SD with AR, assuming the date mag would be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
