mastmampf Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 Hello, i have a question about the AR coated crystals of your modded Super Avengers: Are these crystals from the rep watch itself or does the crystal also come from the AR-modder? I am asking because i want to buy a Super Avenger from Joshua. I have already a gen Bezel for it but i think the crystal on the SA has that awful scratched look if viewing from aside on it. Or am i wrong? I think all gen Breitling crystals are "clear" when looking on it wether from what side or angle. Regards Matz
Logan Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 My genuine Chrono Avenger has a blue tint from an angle and is clear straight on.
italiano17771 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 a genune breitling is completely clear when looking at it from ALL angles. my rep SA had the "bottle effect" when i looked at it from angle. the crystal used for the AR mod are from the rep. the AR will help the bottle effect, but it still has the botle effect.
giorgio Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 I'm not sure about all of them (there were a couple of bad reps before they at least got the dial right), but I have the one with the correct dial. If by "clear" you mean the crystal doesn't distort the view - then yeah, the rep's crystal is pretty bad. I'm not sure it's sapphire but whatever it is, it's not like the BCE crystal and nothing like a Gen. *edit* damn I'm a slow typer, lol!
Dave123 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 My gen SA is clear from all angles as well,i had a hell of a time trying to get some color for a pic.....
mastmampf Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Posted April 17, 2008 Hello again, thanks for answering. That`s what i wanted to know. Regards Matz
bwhitesox Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 It's the only thing that really bothers me about my Franken..... the bottle effect of the glass. After AR it is awesome from all but the most severe angles. My one may be up for sale at some stage...go check it out in the Breitling forum. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=68262
