Replacement cost of Sapphire glass of TopGun 46mm?

Would anyone know the cost of the sapphire glass?

I am actually surprised how easy the glass can get scratched.

is it because of the antireflective coating on the glass?

You need to check with a dealer...

Prices vary by country, and service issues need to be handled off-line. Also, sometimes the crystal can be cleaned if the scratches on the coating are minor.

Good luck and thanks for your understanding,

You need to check with a dealer...

right , they are so minor. I didnt find out until I was looking at the watch under sunlight with an angle.

how to I clean that out? with some cream???
The dealer wouldnt tell me . the staff from the dealer said I have to bring it in so that they can look at it and tell me how much it will cost to replace it.

thanks for the reply, and pls let me know if there is any way to clean out minor scratches/

thanks again

how to clean up minor scratches on the AR coating?

the sapphire glass actually is fine, just the AR coating got

little tiny scratches . Can they be handle personally? or Do i have to pay the IWC service to get them clean?

anyone got experience on their watches' AR coating scratches.

I wish they never put AR coating on the watches.

oopsi, sorry about the "caps lock" . didn't know

can be dangerous for an "amateur" to try...

Any coating can be removed by polishing, which essentially is a reduction technique using abrasion. But if not everything is perfectly removed you can create a worse look.

If you want to try (at your own risk) you can use a mild abrasive. Some people use toothpaste and others use a very weak polishing compound, Some people ask an optician for help, since they have to deal with coated glasses all the time.

Personally, I would leanr to live with minor abrasions on the glass. Signs of minor wear on anything are to be expected, and the cure can be worse than the very mild disease. Also, replacing the crystal can be more costly than you'd like --especially when the replacement ends up in the same condition 2 weeks later.

If you try anything --good luck...and at your own risk.

I did this and I concur it is a very difficult job

It took a long time before I had removed all of the coating. Especially near the edges it is a real nightmare. I used a polishing compound and it does work but I would not recommend it. I am very handy with these tools I might add and still....
