Guest michalis6 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 After a lot of searching, buying and upgrading different fiddies, I can now say that I own the ultimate rep fiddy available today. I had a chance to compare it to a genuine pam217 yesterday and all I can tell you is that I would never spend 10000 on a genuine even if I was a millionaire. My fiddy looks and feels exactly like the real thing. Bought from Ed two months ago features the newest swiss mvt with swan neck and perfect engraving. It was sent to Finepics for reluming, service, cannon fix and Davidsen's hands and crystal install. Mark also replaced a missing jwellery on my mvt. The watch rocks, I dont think it gets any better (well maybe it does, at least I dont care anymore!). I am a happy man! Enjoy the pics!!!! The strap is my first attempt in strap-making (I really dont know if I like it or not, just bought some leather, glue and knifes and I made it Last pic is on OEM gen strap. Opinions are welcome! A big thanks to Mark for his excellent job and to Ed and Davidsen as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 This is a very, very beautiful piece...wear it well. As for the strap: I like the color and texture, expecially for a big, vintage style watch like the Fiddy. I'm not sure about the sides of the strap though. Of course I'm aware that that is the hard part of do-it-yourself-strapping.... All in all: every reason to be a happy man.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I dont really think the strap is a piece of art, but I did leave the edges unfinished on purpose. Looks vintage that way Bad part is that the glue is visible if you check carefully. But who cares? It was just my first try. It took me an hour to finish it. Thanks for your good comments!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polynomial Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Great job on the watch, you might need bigger wrist to wear it but a nice piece indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonton2000 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I wonder if its actually possible to swap the regualtor hand for the correct 'dagger' shaped one on the other rep movt's That would make this movt look 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest michalis6 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 exactly At least it is the closest to the gen available today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 cream dial is still wrong I'd get that changed for sure! And after that I would buy a real cheap 44mm pam and take the movement and put it in the fiddy, THEN it is really perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomeo Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 A real "cheap PAM"??? Where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnixon Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Well I dont really think the strap is a piece of art, but I did leave the edges unfinished on purpose. Looks vintage that way Bad part is that the glue is visible if you check carefully. But who cares? It was just my first try. It took me an hour to finish it. Thanks for your good comments!! I like the strap, it is very suitable for that type of watch. It certainly not elegant, but it looks really cool in a vintage looking diving watch with its "function over form looks". Congratulations. About your 127, did you buy one of those Best available 127 and from that you made all the modifications. The reason I am asking is that I am looking for a best quality possible 127, but I dont have time nor knowledge to modify my self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
