trueimage Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Had to jump on this one when it became available, my first non-44m PAM and my first try at a Fiddy, after all the hoopla around this model I had to try it. Here are the details: - Eddie Lee front loader case (service gap shown in pics) - Eddie Lee v5 crystal and bezel w/ minimum distortion pressed out and reseated by Speedy to avoid any accidents - ETA6497 movement w/ Y gap + incabloc anti-shock - Rare caseback with a non E0117/1950 serial (see pic) - The Zigmeister re-lumed old DSN dial, no longer available - Correct C3 lumed DSN handset from his best version Fiddy - DSN sharp crown - Cannon pinion cap polished - Old EL CG lever pin was too short so Speedy manufactured a new pin fitted and polished it - Movement completely serviced, regulated all gaskets greased and bezel and caseback re-polished - Brand new Kaktus Longtail Tan Beater strap 150/80 included Any suggestions are welcome.

Watchmeister Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Congratulations. You have done a wonderful job of upgrading the legendary Eddie Lee second/third edition 581 case set. It was the vast improvement on the first edition 492 case. Wear that one well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueimage Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks. To be fair I didn't do the mods, I bought it second hand this way. I am too impatient to source all the parts and get someone to assemble it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
