repwatch Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 i would consider waiting....there is a chance that a new version may come time soon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I doubt that Trusty still has that version , try DSN if you really cant wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I thought that was the ultimate edition? With Swiss Unitas movement?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Sent an mail to trusty, cause it clearly says ultimate version... DNS? What's that? What is wrong with the version that I have posted a link to? Sorry for the double post, using tapatalk and can't edit last post... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 DSN = Davidsen I am not the expert you're after as mentioned these may not be in stock and you'd may well be better off waiting to see if a "new" fiddy surfaces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntmf Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Make sure that you get the "74-Series" strap from Gunny, it is as close to the Gen-Strap as can be! You can see it here: http://gunnystraps.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Most people who are interested in purchasing a Fiddy are waiting for an improved version from one of the better PAM factories. I would say there is general sentiment (and we are hearing it from the dealers) that it will come. The real question is when and what will be better or worse from past versions. If you do need to buy one now than take a look at DSN's version as has been suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for the reply everybody:-) The one with swiss movement is not available, but Andrew at trusty promises that the quality is excellent... So I bought one, and will see how it looks when I get the QC pics...:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloner4 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 As meister said it will come.. When? No answer... Will it be bettervthan everything that is out now? No answer Contact Dsn and see what he has but I doubt any dealer will have a Swiss mov for the fiddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 If this is a legitimate Swiss movement, I 'm Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timj Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yikes Yeah, please do so... What do the experts think? Is it a good rep or...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanya Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 If you like it that is all that matters my friend but that might be among the worst 127 reps I have seen The movement is horrible. Might be the worst plates I have seen and we have seen a few. Not only that the edges of the plates look like an axe blade The crystal has terrible distortion and terrible Purple AR Crown guard and crown do not look too bad, could use a refinishing and lever pin polish and flattening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Ok:-((( that's not good news:-((( What do you suggest that I do with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the movement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanya Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 See how my genuine movement is different. Even the better rep movements are alot closer than yours And notice how my crystal does not shrink the numbers? There are some other things as well I can refinish your Crown Guard for you if you want but other than that you either enjoy it as is or sell it and wait for the new Ultimate that will come out late next year after the 217 is released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Buhu:-(( this is just to sad... That's what you get when you are a noob:-((( [censored]... Paid 300$ for it, not much money but still it's sad:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Ok:-((( that's not good news:-((( What do you suggest that I do with this? Please be aware that altho Tanya is well-meaning, this member is one of the pickiest Panerai lovers of all, sporting a mostly Gen franken 1950 ... so don't be too sad. The people on the forums range in emotion from "oh that is good enough" to "nothing is ever good enough" ... and everything in between. There are mods to be performed on your watch. There are mods to be performed on any replica watch. It all depends upon your own feelings and what you will accept as "good enough". I will say tho that 300USD is a little stiff for an asian 1950 without a decent strap. Don't be discouraged; I bought a lemon my first time ... many people do.
