RobbieG Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Sorry, I got carried away with women and got OT. Back to AR. In my experience there has been no genuine AR which is comparable to Chief's except UN's colorless variety. They have two coatings that they have used in the last few years, both are extremely powerful - most powerful in my box by far. I think they like to use the tinted version on black dials as it helps bring out the richness. The other they use on light dials which has no color. You guys have seen the images many times, but again totally colorless AND powerful. Until I got that MMD I had never seen anything so good as Chiefs. It seems like there are others which are as strong or near as strong, but they all have color to them. But not these... I do like the gen PO's AR though. Very powerful and I actually like the little bit of color on a black dialed watch. I like the way it brings out the purple spectrum in blacks, but Jakob's for example I didn't like so much. I got it on an homage watch I did and it wasn't anywhere near strong enough for my taste and it had a very solid and relatively light blue color to it at angles, but defintely more blue than purple. If AR is tinted I prefer it to be pretty dark myself and again, on a black dialed watch only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Yeah, man that bar was great! Wow! We would go there after rehearsals a lot on Friday nights. It was so happening and the hottest women were hanging from the rafters. If you left there with less than two you were having a really bad night. I'm certain that place was the catalyst for more menage a' trois than anywhere in the country. That well had to be the toughest to work in town. I swear I can EXACTLY picture the lead well there like it was yesterday. We would always hang right at that little nook just down from it closest to the door. Hey didn't Selleck and Menetti buy that place at the tail end of filming PI? I think we are going back to what 87 or 88 now? hehe, you it was the most happening place in town, and the Krystal flowed like crazy .. the knook you reffered to was the best area .. you could check out the entire lounge area... the lead well was facing the side with the entrance to the kitchen.. or where ever the most waitress' congregated.. you know a place is hot when all the bar crews from other clubs end up there.. we had the cabariet license.. 4 am .... Selleck owned only 1% for name only ... Pat Bollen (Denver Broncos) was the principle owner.. he loved the place.. for obvious reasons... I think that's where my left ear drum was damaged.. .. Azure McCale.. was my fav ... the Billie Holliday voice.. Ahhh those were free and fun day's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I guess in the end it didn't make money? It doesn't seem possible. I can't imagine what the bar was ringing in a weekend but it had to be staggering. I do know RR has had troubel attracting fine dining crowds as it is known more as a drinking and partying spot. But that may have changed? And yes, Azure McCall - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Robbie, that UN definitely appears to be using the same coating based on those pics. That's the first gen I've seen with it. I never really understood why they don't all use it. It's better, and in large quantities the cost increment would be minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limestone Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Yes, I alway's like to research whatever interest me.... not so I can do the same thing .. but I don't like to wonder about something when the info is so readily available these day's.. hope this helps your curioustiy too //H Exactly..

rogerthat Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Lani, I hope you don't mind if I add this pic of a couple of my watches with Cheif's coating. Many people question if you see the difference with a white dial, I think this shot does a good job of demonstrating that indeed it does.
