Cats Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 I've been trying to photograph the single sided AR job done by Caruwe for some time now. This morning a certain light gave almost the correct impression of the AR and it's beauty ( in real life the dial get's a slight brownish hue which i can't capture untill now ) This are 2 of some more shots that i made What your opinion on the AR job ??

Cats Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Posted July 22, 2010 And a better close up to give an better impression I noticed that there is a stain on the minute hand which is only visible at a certain angle. Cats
oncyte Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Fantastic! Those are some beautiful wristie shots!
Drulee Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 That looks great, what crystal did you use and who is Caruwe? That looks like the latest DSN dial, is it?
aardian Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 That's an old DSN dial. I have one in my vac-built 111h and the "3" in the new dial is less accurate than this one. That's a better dial he's got.
watcher Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 That looks fantastic! He is doing a Hamilton crystal for me as we speak with double AR. Can't wait to get it fitted back in looking at how effective the single sided Ar is on yours! Caruwe is Finedd on RWI.
PeteM Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 You say a brownish hue, the few I have had done seem more yellowish to me. Do you know if he has changed his AR at all? Mine were also on black dial PAMs Is your lume colour captured right in those pics or is it off colour because of the light you are trying to get to show the AR? They are great pics though, please dont tell me you used an iPhone 3G!!! as Proj always does in his nonchalant way and which I can never repeat!!! Though I have the 4 now so its much easier but still not as good as those mate
Cats Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Posted July 24, 2010 @ PeteM what i was trying to say is that the with the AR the black dial gets a ultra dark brownish hue. The crystal it self gives a yellow/brownish hue. I don't think that Finepics DD changed the AR proces. The dial is indeed an older DSN dial with a Flav Flavour lume. The crystal is a DSN one , i don't which version but it is from the same time frame as the dial. Thanks for all the positive remarks on my PAM 111H ( orginaly built by T , to former Tourby on this forum ) Carpe Diem Cats

Funny though as when I fitted on of his ARs against a PAM 127 EL dial it went a purply blue almost gen like AR though it didnt against a 005 dial!! Go figure...Know idea why!!
Star69 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 looks sharp ! i noticed the same brown hue - perfect for tobacco dials .. cheers, Frank
caruwe Posted July 25, 2010 Report Posted July 25, 2010 The original tint of my AR is golden/brown for sapphire glasses! But if you clean it (before installation) with something like nano coating etc. it can turn a into bluish tint.
