a german in denmark Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 As mentioned above, I asked if I could have my crystals coated. Couldn't be done, the size of the crystals is too small, and the companies that provide the service, don't have the proper mounting tools. Bummer...

You don't want eyeglass AR on your watch crystal anyhow. It's not in the same league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 do indulge my curiosity ... what's the difference, Chief ? The coatings themselves are totally different and applied by different processes. The result with eyeglass coatings is typically a greenish color with much higher reflectivity and less durability. Most opticians will tell you to use special microfiber cloths whenever you clean the lens... With a truly durable coating, though, you can use spit and a T-shirt over and over and have no problems at all. But the reflectivity is what matters most, and eyeglass coatings don't perform.
