docblackrock Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Firstly, Jakub was a delight to deal with - big kudos to him for arranging this service and giving us Europeans an alternative to Chief's US operation And what can I say about the results and let me say the photos do not do the crystal justice, looks even better in the flesh!!! The dial just leaps out from behind the 'invisible' crystal - a nice blue light-sucker of a coating. Ack, you know what? Judge for yourself.... Bathroom shot - polished honey limestone is so much more tasteful than Ubi's brown granite don't you think? Now where did that pesky crystal go? Oooh...me likey that hour hand lightning bolt 'zing' Some more spotlight action... Daylight shot - hmmm, must water the planters more often And last but not least, a mean and moody shot aboard my Riva..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 This is looking really promising - I would love to give my PO collection an AR upgrade. In fact....I'm thinking of AR'ing the house windows too. And the dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docblackrock Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 You may have to hit us with a great afternoon AR shot to get us back on track then! Why not ask for a pint of blood whilst you're at it?!!! Those pics not enough to sate your appetite??? As J says, they're a bugger to take good pics of, there's an ethereal quality that's difficult to capture. Personally this is my favourite so I'll show it again.....just for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to comparing it to my mate's gen prof Thanks mate, would be interested to hear about the side-by-side coating comparison Ah yes, my Riva, she's a real beauty - a very rare small (60cm) Aquarama example but perfectly formed to exact specs including finishing....much better than those crappy quality huge 1 metre-plus RC models.

dlanzer Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 How hard was the removal / Install. Did you have someone do it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 How hard was the removal / Install. Did you have someone do it? Thanks. Nope, did it myself. 'Out' (thumbs) easier than 'in' (home-made press ) but not really that difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
