lanikai Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 It's Unacceptable NOT to swap a crystal that has made the trip to Cali ..... I could not take it anymore... to have the Crystal without Chiefs AR.. Ok I know the genuine has no AR.. that's Omega's Problem.. It became mine.. it is jus sooo irratating with all the glare bouncing of the timepiece.. So I'm "Doing it my way" as the BK would say...

Guest carlsbadrolex Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Nice work brother! Your right, that is Omega's problem... and why they haven't resolved it yet is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I really like this one in Black R. I totally agree on the DAR....Makes the dial sing on the SMP's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree on the DAR....Makes the dial sing on the SMP's thank you DL... you are so "on"..... with the normal non AR crystal there is so much light bouncing off the surface you cannot get a clean shot.. and this is the same settings as the pics with Chiefs AR..

By-Tor Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 What do you mean "you can't get a clean shot"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 .. I mean with direct "natural lighting".. without the artificial lights being manipulated.. and the Black dial takes on the light differently.. although you cannot disregard your photo skills.. I'm talking about "Hawaii's" Sun.. no cloud cover like... hmpphh ... your part of the Planet.. What are ya goin to do for the Calendar ... that will be your best work..

Dizzy Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Looks much better with double AR!!! I feel the same way about Rolex.. they are crazy not to AR the crystals! I like the lanikai way much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Man that looks awesome Lan, gotta start taking advantage of Chief's services one of these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 @Lani: I know exactly what you're talking about. AR really makes the dial "stand out", and it's very important on the SMP. The dial wave pattern is amazing. PS: Do you still have the blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Man that looks awesome Lan, gotta start taking advantage of Chief's services one of these days! 10-4 that A... Chief say's he's going to start doing Ar's that are exactly like the Genuine brands.. ie. very Blue hue for the IWC.. etc.. cannot wait By-Tor Posted Today, 04:35 PM @Lani: I know exactly what you're talking about. AR really makes the dial "stand out", and it's very important on the SMP. The dial wave pattern is amazing. PS: Do you still have the blue? Yes.. I still have the Blue Chrono.. I took the crystal off the SMP non chrono, to use on the Black Chrono.. .. and I gotta say chiefs AR on the SMP non chrono, it looks .. euphoric .... (on the non Chrono SMP dial) .. so now I have to get another one of Chiefs AR's for the SMP edit to add: @dizzy.. sorry man missed your post .. thank you for the kind words.. Brah !!

lanikai Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I should add.. most importantly.. Chiefs new generation AR.. has practically "no Hue" .. so it works brilliantly with the SMP.. since there is no visible colour to the AR.. it just amplifies the dial colour and "detail".. the Blue dial w/Chiefs AR UPO franken w/Ciefs AR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronoluvvv Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 A+ work i wish i could achieve such horological expertise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongkytonkman Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 @ lani, everytime I see your clean SMP Chrono blue dial, it makes me wanna AR mine as well... looks that your chrono hands have been modded to a different color to match the markers. Is it Ziggified? HKT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
