A Weird discovery about our AP Xstals and Hfactory CF Divers XSTAL and a solution!!

HI, everyone check this link out first http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/ap-fc-rbj-160625.html and then you will know about my findings,, the most critical problem with this watch is the crystal imho ,, its a great watch for the most part i consider the best cf by far and u can polish the case but its so close i didnt do mine lol , anyay i will be offering a higher grade sapphire crystal for this watch and cause it is not sapphire imho or it is low grade and something is wrong with most of them ,ive had a brand new one in and it had a few hairline scratches on it another indication not sapphire , very strange same goes for the 57th hit or miss but at least the ar does a great job on the 57th http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/my-upgraded-ap-154215 and another one ,, anyway i can offer the hfactory crystals in sapphire if some of u dont want ar but want a clean crystal clear real sapphire crystal or like me want sapphire and nice ar to :thumbsup:
:cheers:

Great offer, Joe!

He's not kidding about the 57th...

See how he turned mine into a top member of my over populated collection:

lol sry Sheriff,, i forgot to put yours up there

btw so far i have had 5 very interested ,, i think im going to get 12 before i can get the good price which im shoot to be $75 per sterile sapphire crystal in USA and not these do not come with the ar coatings but u can have the ar coated thanks
joe

 

[SheriffWho]

Joe, two questions...

1) Would these fit any ROO or diver? Or just H-Fac?

2) Would you be able to get 4 or 5 of these and ar them ahead before we take possession?

Thanks!

HI, here is the deal
1-on the noob divers 3.5 4.0 and i assume 5.0, the size is 2.5 mm thick versus the cf divers are 2.0 mm thick,, so im trying to get these as cheap as possible for us all, they may let me get a combo on thickness, i already sent them a email on the question ,, see buying real sapphire in the states they go buy bulk more so than one at a time unlike my ar coatings offering
-answers about the roos,, like the RBII is 1.8 mm by 31 with a slight beveled edge so that should be ok to do with this deal ,, but like the MH 1.82 mm by 30.48 or something like that to give u an idea , see those are odd but the main thing is some have a deeper beveled edge than others so those would be more work for my company ,, but doable but more money so the key here is get the ones we know for sure will work on you watch by measurement
2- yes i can get as many as u like at one time and yes i can have the ar coated as well and send within 2 weeks, 3 weeks max, just like the ones i did for u already

the key here is no mystery crystals like on the 57th and the cf divers and it also goes for the noob divers as well i dont think it is sapphire and or its a lower grade or bad batch ,either which makes since to me cause i see too many of these 1:1 gens with hairline scratches now that im doing more and more ar coatings ,, mineral glass is so cheap in cost and next is a lower grade sapphire and it makes since for the chinese makers to use them cause its cost effective one and two there will not be enough people who care or "be picky" enough to care

If you made available a catalogue of different AR sapphire crystals for the most popular ROOs, which were all beveled and measured out properly for easy self installation, that would be an attractive offer for many here.
I am pretty sure that the crystal on older ROOS like EOD are simply mineral, and maybe even some of the newer models as well like HFAC FC. Replacing these crystals is a nice upgrade.

i 100% agree , see when i left for 3 years with my health problems i didnt notice these issues as bad as i have recently meaning the past year,, so the prices have gone up for the so called 1:1 and cosmetically they have paid attention to detail more than 4 years ago but i have noticed in many cases especially the easier movements they are using cheaper gearing metal , and hands are made thinner and cheaper , but the looks are better and the rotating mechanisms are better ,, pros and cons and now a weird one is the xstals , even back then i thought they used mineral alot espeically the thicker sized ones like in the old breitling SO and such but it was a better quality mineral glass than they are using now in the APS which may be low grade sapphire

So i think i can offer them in the roos if i start measuring the ones that come in and make a size reference per watch ,, i know if i had the watch crystal to measure i can get them ,, but to save money for us all i think if i could get sizes and get a majority size and bevel the ones myself that need more of a deeper cut then it would be worth the extra cash

but first is first so i have some on the way right not for the cf diver and i will if enough interest get some for the regular divers ss and go from there


the main objective is A- make it an affordable upgrade and a worthwhile upgrade and B-keep it simple for everyone

Dear, I'm very interested for my upcomming V5.

Will you ship to internationnaly ?

 

[rbj69]

Yes I will ship international at your risk but first you should measure the v5 to make sure size I only measured v3.5 4.0 and 4.1, it should be same but I can't guarantee that
Thanks
