  1. Happy Birthday reficul!

  2. Anyone knows any of our trusted dealers have this for sale? I have been finding but seems like its gone? Or anyone would like to sell his can contact me via PM. Thanks!
  3. Happy Birthday reficul!

  4. I wished that was available! My project hands are actually for a Patek Ladies white Aquanaut. :-) Dun think the hands are easily available, unless.... contacts..... but that sounds impossible. :-(
  5. Airbrush sounds like cool.... The watch hands that I need to blackened is a Ladies Patek Aquanaut Luce (white dial). I have seen the gen in a boutique and the hands appears extremely dark chrome to me. Anyone wishes to try this project? ;-p
  6. Hello folks, I have a set of hands that needs to be "blacken" and they are in steel color. The original hands from the gen looks like almost jet black and at certain angles, the hands will show some gloss and appears almost metallic. I am not sure what process I can try... anyone has done this before and has any suggestion? Many thanks for helping!
  7. I am looking for a rep for the Patek ladies Aquanaut in white (with diamonds bezel like the gen) or the Twenty Four (both Quartz). I am looking for a dealer for either the two of them (preferably the Aquanaut though). Any comments for the rep model? (pros and cons, noticed that the Twenty Four has a shorter minute hand VS the gen) And which of our dealers carry the best rep for them? (recommendation please) Thanks a great deal!
  8. I "third" that..... <_< Especially when you mentioned that your watchmaker is not too exactly interested whether the movement sell or doesn't sell and he did a price drop from USD 500 to 375? Sounds .... just weird.
  9. Couldn't agree more. Anyway, AR on a fiddy really bothers me alot as I have never seen a domed crystal with AR for the gen. I have the chance to own a gen 217 and to the naked eye, you can almost hardly see a tint of AR in it. It does have a tiny tint of purplish color when you look at the side profile where the curvy sides of the crystal is. But it is really subtle. Hence if yours is without any AR, yours would be the next thing to a Gen. Scream replica when there is no AR? Well, maybe you missed the thread on the Rep Fiddy on panerisiti forum?
  10. I told you that Im a sucker for Replica VS functionality.
  11. Thanks Mate.... Finally its on my wrist and I am extremely happy with it. :-)
  12. Hello guys, Its me again after a long wait with all the modds done and here are the promised pictures and a list of what I have done with the DSN ultimate Fiddy: 1) Replace dial with older version (most accurate) but still using out of the box lume "backplate" from DSN 2) File and improve on CG 3) Remove AR from DSN Crystal (okay, okay, I admit that I am a sucker for REPLICA vs functionality) 4) Custom made leather strap from Savage (Scot Salmon) (vbarrett is an expert in straps isn't it? Please take a look at mine vbarrett! Not too bad right?) As you can see, there is not a lot that needs to be done with Davidsen's Fiddy (at least to me) and I must say that David is a very nice gentleman and do honour what he promised. I do understand that some have QC issues with him as I read about him from this forum, but ultimately, he still managed to get the job done in the end. Without further ado, here is some amatuer shots at the massive beast. In different lighting conditions (sorry for the reflection, it is really tough to take pics of this one!): On my puny wrist (now you don't see it): On Scot's (aka Savage FULLY customised strap) Take a look at the E movement (extremeeeeely sweet!) Okay, how can we ever miss out a lume shot? Overall, I am extremely pleased with the watch (though it is not the best rep in the world) and I know that this is definitely a keeper. Simply love the 5mm thick strap made by Scot (Super reasonable price, FAST turnover rate, EXTREMELY Friendly artisan, Period). Also, would like to thank everyone who has posted pictures of his/her Fiddy; this certainly adds as a catalyst to my purchase. Thanks alot David, you have make my day... (year) Have a great day folks!
  13. Or simply check on the height of the hour and minute hands. .... If there is a good space allowance, simply file the minute hand. :-)
  14. And forgot to add that, a sapphire does not "scratched" but it does gets chipped off and this makes the appearance very close to looking scratched. The remedy will be me using a diamond paste to try to work it back to its former glory...
  15. It is definitely sapphire... Just that I might use a little too much strength on it. How do I know its sapphire? it cannot be scratch when I try to knock it on other surface.... and when you knock it against your teeth, it has a distinctive pitch and it is the same as my gen. Yeah, it is always a risk when dealing with reps. I agree. The sandpaper works real fast. And I realised that the thinner didn't help though, and with the autosol, (additional grit) it works wonders. Really, I tried it on my other AR crystal and the job was done in less than 5 mins. It was the same type of AR too from DSN. :-)
