help needed on the price if changing saphire glass on U1

[edchys]

Hi,
Any bro change the glass on u1 before? Able to let me know the price? I have an u1 sdr which has some scratches on the sapphire glass not the ar coating.only able to see it at some angles but it bothers me a lot. Bought from overseas ad so do not know how much hour glass service centre will charge me. Thanks in advance.

You may want to check with two of the private sellers for Sinn watches, puateikor and dorothy. They may be able to help you. Otherwise, check with Hour Glass first.

Thanks, will do that. If it is too expensive I guess I will have to live with it.

The AR coats the sapphire glass. So it's impossible to scratch the glass without
Scratching the coating. Therefore I think it's the AR coating tht u have scratched.
Try doing a search, there are ways to remove the AR coating by yourself.
If not, replacing the whole piece of glass will cost probably $200 if I bring
It to Germany to replace. Will update if I manage to get a quote from SINN.

I believe it is the ar coating. Still an eye sore. Thinking of changing the glass.

No worries mate, got ur PM. Will check out for u.
Anyway, remove the AR coating urself, then in will be
scratchless again!!!

Tried that using diamond paste resulting in more scratches...

Hi bro, just checked. It's $450 inclusive of everything.
Get back watch about 2wks-2months depending on when
im gg to Frankfurt.

Thanks bro for your help. Its too expensive for me. I think I will just sell the watch away cheap.

No prob bro, good luck.
