babola Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi experts, is this really swiss ? trusty can someone confirm this ? thanks, Frank Hi Frank, yup, Andrew's 127 is definitely 'real mcCoy' Fiddy rep with all the bells and whistles. This is the latest iteration of PAM127, with Swiss ETA 6497, working S/N regulator, A/R sapphire (yes it's real 6mm thick sapphire, just like Davidsen's), case is almost 1:1, new bigger crown guard and lever, correct "1950" font on the dial, super Luminova coated hands and dial markers etc... The only obvious letdowns are still recessed pin and mediocre strap...but both can be fixed without much effort. cheers, babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archibald Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 the adjustment needle in the S/N regulator looked a little to fat to me .... I think that is also an improvement over previous versions. babola, what makes the case "almost" 1:1? I just finished staring at it and aside from the brushing it looks perfect. Not doubting your eyes, just trying to figure out what I'm missing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished staring at it and aside from the brushing it looks perfect. Not doubting your eyes, just trying to figure out what I'm missing... Just that some forumers reported inconsistencies around the lug areas, mainly uneven lug size and rough finishes. Also some Fiddies measure 16mm in thickness, some 17.5. I guess that the latter measure has got to do with the diferent (updated ?) version of crystal. cheers, babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
