Following on from another thread, i recently got a G-9200R Riseman 'MIRO' which had been recased by the previous owner using a 'Stealth' bezel and strap. The intention was to complete the stealth conversion using linear polarizing film to give it a negative display.
I did not realise (as a Noob to 'G's) that this edition had the 'Axe' feature on the LCD when using the EL function. I quite like it but this put me in a quandry: should i complete the change and risk losing the Axe or leave as is and wonder what it would be like?
Anyway, the present screen looks to be quite a neutral colour, sort of standard positive display. I got the polarising film out to hold over the LCD and was quite surprised by what i saw. Holding it one way made the background appear quite a distinct green colour, bordering on 'Pea' green. Turning the film 90deg, it turned quite a vibrant orange, what i would have expected to be present on a MIRO anyway.
Bearing in mind that it is quite light in the office and that i was just holding the film over the watch, not pressining it directly onto the module, i could'nt really see if there was a difference to the axe or what the EL would look like.
Changing the polarizing film is not a permanant mod so i may just have a play when i get the opportunity and post the results.
