Ok guys here is my beloved big watch which i sent for double AR coating in poland. Thanks to Jakub who did a great job on this. Watch is now look awesome, but 1 sctraches on the crystal at 40min mark. I tried to capture it but very hard and it can only be seen at certain angle.. Well, I can liev with it..and already spoke to the MAN himself, which I think a great service and good communication from him.

would love to send any watches to him . And he also said I can swim with it, as before :) . Water resistant and Waterproofing . LOVE IT !

i admitt: AR looks awesome ! big improvement to the watch ( i have a 187 myself !)
but.......
you must be kidding...POLAND ? that Poland ? no matter what..i would never ever in my whole life send a watch there.
that you got it back is a winning lottery ticket. my mom had a friend, a pretty poor woman she met in Bulgaria on holiday, she send her cloth and food to
Warzaw many times, it just never got there. until she told my mother...dont send anything, postman, customs, police...everyone is a crook.
in germany there were big signs : spend your next vacation in Poland, your cars are already there !( after german AAA ( ADAC ) had announced that 70% of all german cars are being brought to Poland.....and distributed further east from there. you were not allowed and had to sign an agreement ! that you would not take your rental car to poland, because no insurance ever covered a car driven to poland ( guess why )
i wouldnt dare to send a Lollipop to Poland !

FYI...Chronozilla is the correct nickname for 187 Sub :)

Special Edt 64 Sub was originally crowned La Bomba by Italians, the name also stuck onto standard production 87 Sub, as they share the same case.

...so there are La Bombas, Subzillas and Chronozillas...:)

Nice watch BTW !!!

It looks great! Jakub offers a great service and quality work. Everyone should have at least one watch coated. It's completely worth the money.

I can vouch for the quality of Jakub's AR coating. It's definitely top notch. No problem shipping within EU to Poland... or for that matter from the rest of the world. k2222 has done AR coatings for hundreds of crystal from all over the world, never before I heard that a watch goes missing, etc.

K2222 has AR coated 5 of my crystals and I even sent a whole watch to him. His service is absolutely first class and I would send a genuine watch to him without hesitation.
This Poland prejustice is BS. Sorry, HU. :D


Great Chronozilla by the way. The coating really puts it to a diferent level.

Mate, talk about going far afield for an AR job! :D

Congrats on joining the La Bomba club! Mine is still sans AR - did you think it was worth it for authenticity's sake (silly qn I guess as you were willing to send it so far from Oz).

HNY Mogg!

ps actually, I'm wearing my 187 today, as it happens ... :D

hey seadweller - have you ever been to Poland ? did you grow up with polish gypsies ? do you know who has the best trained burglar and pickpocket gangs
( 12 year old kids ) in the world ? yes, sure...its nothing but prejudice !
