Michael,
I think these dials are OUTSTANDING!
What wonderful workmanship.

Sorry I missed these before. How about an e-mail address or phone number for the company?

Michael, they did a great job on those dials, and the price is not bad either.
I may need some dial work later on.
Thanks for posting these pictures.

Mike -

I really like the satin finish that Eagle did on the dials. Clear, crisp, clean edges - looks as though someone takes pride in their workmanship because it certainly shows on the end product. Are their results consistent?

Take a look at this set of dials, sent out in March/ April 2005 (done elsewhere) - sorry for the poor photo (untouched,unedited). And these are the after photos! Frown Sloppy work and no quality control. This is total frustration. More delay, $$ and inconvenience in returning for the re-do. Why let something like this out of your shop in the first place??? Too late to unring the bell.

I'm grateful that you shared your experience with Eagle. Thanks a ton!
