How do you polish off the AR on a crystal?

[Om3ga_guy]

Looking to remove the exterior AR coat on a watch crystal. Does anyone have a DIY for this? I cant seem to filter it in the search option and I know many have done this before.

Thx

Firstly you should figure out what type of crystal it is. Mineral and sapphire have different procedures to do what you're asking.

I done this on my Ploprof V2 because i got som really ugly scratches in the AR
i just took the ordinary polishing wheel for stainless steel and wax it little then set the machine to 1400 r.p.m. and gently took the AR away without polish the bezel edges..

Both bezel crystal and main crystal look great after.

Good luck!

I removed the AR coating off my PAM 111 recently using scratch removal polish which I use on my car. Hope this helps.

Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish worked like a charm on my HBB v6 evo. It took about 20 min with moderate rubbing

This is the route I will be going and my crystals saphire. So they say...saphire isn't really always saphire these days...

Thanks for the input guys.

Polywatch works on sapphire?

Polywatch works on sapphire?

I used it to remove the "purple haze" A/R on the inside of my 036 crystal....
as far as removing actual scratches on a sapphire, only the diamond paste compounds
are up to that task....
