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

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...

I have one of these and i am very pleased with it. It does however have one of the suspect movements in it but mine has been perfect so far, look here but dont be too put off new eta

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.
