I will send this information to the coater tomorrow, they still have not seen all the sizes. When they approve, I am ready to take the crystals. I will send a pm with instructions to you when I am ready! NOTE! No money sending yet!
I also know now how to strip the old AR correctly, a special thanks goes to PeteM! He has a lot of information about polishing compounds and techniques. I will use the best available. Thanks bro! Need to give you a good discount :cheer:

for the first time I need watchmaker support to remove a crystal. sunny please give me 1 or 2 more days to measure it. I am definitely in.
Kind of you to say S ... Thank you
Pippo if you PM me I might be able to talk you through it mate
Or model depending I may know the diameter anyway... or know someone that will

Pete, it's a IWC Mark XVI crystal
It s pressed so well that it's impossible to remove.
I have a crystal press but It s useless for this case and with my dyes

Here's a tip:
Use a cap off a pill or vitamin bottle. Make sure the cap is slightly smaller than the crystal and use some cloth to protect it. Pop it out!

concerned about you refitting it if it's that hard to remove.
Wish I could've got in on this, I have a few worth candidates!
Lets hope this all works like clockwork (pun intended) and the coating hits it out of the park, then a 2nd and 3rd round of coatings will hopefully happen P4GTR.
That is one very strange 3717 with 36 mm crystal - all I have seen so far had 35,4 mm dia.
regards
I may have another crystal for coating but I don't have a proper tool to measure it
It's from Heuer 300 SLR.
Anybody has any idea about the diameter of it?

Thanks, updated!
OVERALL WARNING! This might cause problems if the measurements are not correct. I need to let the coater know all the diameters and then they check if they have holders. If the diamater changes in the last minutes, they might not have a correct holder. I will measure all crystals once more when I get them and check if I need to send information to coater. Maximum loss for you guys is that I sent the crystal back uncoated.
Yep, thanks again! 36.9 mm vs 37.0 mm does not matter, but as the uncoated frame is supposed to be 0.3-0.5 mm, 35.4 mm vs. 36 mm really does matter.
