Looking for a 2ctw pair- again!

[DejaWiz]

So. wF said she can send them to me and I have a 10 day review or return. Do you think I should bring them in?? Also @DejaWiz did you get a chance to look at those two LGD diamonds I picked on Reddit?

I just sent a couple of alternatives

 

[momofive]

So. I ordered the WF ones and the last two that DejaWiz found. I have an ASET scope so I will compare them when they come and post photos, scopes, videos, etc. in different lighting conditions. Be back soon!!

Calling @DejaWiz and @Kim N
I’ve received the two pairs of diamonds and would like your opinions.
The WF ones are in their settings.
Here are photos and ASET images. I’ll post videos next.

 

[momofive]

I have to admit they’re both beautiful but I do have a favorite. I’d like to hear your thoughts.

LGD
WF

 

[DejaWiz]

We're the ASET results a bit better with the LGD options, or is that just the angles/alignments of them in the pictures?

 

[momofive]

I think it’s the angles. I thought WF was better. But they were both good.

Any suggestions on taking better photos? I used a white cardboard and poked holes in it for the culet to sit.

If the WF stones perform better to your eyes in different lighting conditions, there's your answer. I think the WF being set may have contributed to the angles being off in the photos.

Agree with Kim N - whichever set looks better, go with. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by being able to compare multiple sets and choosing your winner.

 

[momofive]

OK. I’ll take another look tomorrow. Looking through the scope without my phone I couldn’t believe how much red was in the WF stones. Although the LGD ASET looked very good as well.

 

[momofive]

Ok @DejaWiz and @Kim N
I’m back! I tried my best to get good ASET image. I tried with the backlight and white tissue but couldn’t get it to stay straight so I used my hand. But I think these are better than yesterdays.
WF A 9-23
WF B 9-23
LGD A 9-23
LGD B 9-23

Thanks again for all your help!

I like the LGD ones a bit more from these videos, but if the WF actually perform better in person, that's what I would go with.

Thank you. I'll compare one more time tomorrow and then decide. I do think the ASETs are better with the LGD and the Arrows look great.

Just realized i forgot to post the still photos. Here they are. Do these change your mind at all?

No, I still have a slight preference for the LGD. Both pairs are very nicely cut--you won't go wrong with either!

OK. Thanks.

 

[Jax172]

Honestly either pair will knock the socks off of any potential purchaser for the fundraiser so I’d just go with wichever is cheaper.

 

[momofive]

Thanks to everyone! I've decided to go with the LGD pair. I had another pair of eyes look at it to see which one they liked and it was the LGD pair. Also, they happen to be the less expensive ones, even with the added settings.
