Thanks to Joe, my Montauk Crystal just vanished! Can't wait to get it back home. Totally excited about double AR and worth the wait!

The crystal on my FC Diver (stock) is so clear that it looks like it's not there, either! Wonder how much better it'd be with double AR! Do the gens have double AR?

I don't think gens have any AR, let alone double... But they are way higher quality crystals and the double AR compensates for rep crystals not being quite as nice as gen :)

Either way, I think it makes it really pop!

But how does it look on a bracelet with blue gold midlinks?

Looks great. Joel's AR kicks ass.

Thanks bro! And yeah... He is awesome. Already lined up to mod my incoming rbii with double ar and plate mod. Very friendly and does great work!!!

Not quite as good as it does on a modified rolex two-tone jubilee, but still pretty good - lol


Seriously though... The "spare" bracelet from earlier is actually for this MH...

most of the double AR's here looks even better than their gen counterparts.

Just got my MH back from RBJ ( I bought it from Sharrkey ) and it had to have some work done. The bezel had to be completely refinished due to a very deep scratch ( undisclosed to me prior to sale, but pictures WILL be up ) on the bezel, as well as the double AR treatment and fixing the bottom subdial that moves on it's own. I think the minute hand catches it every hour and makes it move slightly, RBJ crimped the hand on the post ( bottom subdial ) and it's a lot better now. The watch is a work of art after getting it back from RBJ and putting another $310 into the watch after receiving it from the seller. I wish i was told about the scrath ( major ) on the bezel, was just told about "minor surface scratches" - Like I said RBJ had to refinish the ENTIRE bezel and the case side where the screws go into the lugs. As far as the AR treatment, I HIGHLY recommend Everyone get theirs done by Joe. It's absolutely beautiful. I also have the watch on a SS bracelet, and I htink it looks best on that ( vs the hornback ) - I'm not trying to be negative about the seller, I did give a positive feedback, although now i wish i could just put "neutral" due to the overhaul it needed. It was also VERY loud, & Joe tightened up the rotor, and it's quiet as a mouse now. Pics will be up soon, please wait to see the before ( when I received the watch ) and after RBJ's work, Sharrkey's original pictures made it look like a catalog watch, and unforunately, i had to spend quite a bit to get it there. In all fairness, the AR service was near half the cost, but I still should've been informed about the scratch that is now gone. Thanks Joe!

Absolute bullshit, there was no very deep scratch on the bezel, why don't you start another thread and post all these pics!!!!!
The watch was listed as a daily beater with surface scratches, NOW get your macro pics under direct artificial light up and we can all take a look, then I'll post plenty of pics that I've taken, and trust me I've more than you can imagine!!!

Also movement problem was fully disclosed in the sales thread as the hands @6 running is a common problem on these heavily modified movements, Loud Rotor? Are you F@cking kidding me
