baltic Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 I've been after a Fiddy since I got interested in reps and saw the original on Paneristi.com. When Eddie recently offered his 'ultimate' with swiss & sapphire it had to be mine! As soon as it arrived it was off to Finepics for his excellent work - lumed, pin fix, service and a special bonus a set of Davidsen hands! Many thanks Mark, that was a really nice touch, much appreciated! It was immediately put on a Greg Historic Brown strap, vintage length - L-O-N-G-G-G! Some pics for your delight and delectation... Wrist shot: Close up: The lovely movement: Posed (nice crystal distortion): Strapped up: Lume: Hope you enjoyed looking as much as I like wearing!
madasboot Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Congratulations on your watch. I imagine how you are enjoying it! Mark's work is the best you can get (gold fingers and a x-tra keen eye for detail!) and it sure makes all the difference. He actually can make a rep look like a gen (vintage or actual) and I believe we should all enjoy him as much as we can because one of this days Panerai will hijack him to work for them creating some Special Editions! BTW could you explain me the "magic" on gREG straps? IMHO they look grotesque (sorry for that but its only my opinion on their looks and finishings)! Enjoy that beautiful watch (but get a MF strap instead!) Cheers, Marco

Cheers, Marco Each to their own, I just like their simplicity and the patina on the Historic Brown suits the Fiddy IMHO.
Pam-O-licious Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 That looks great! Is the mvt engraving correct? or should it be the other machined finish?
baltic Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Posted January 16, 2007 That looks great! Is the mvt engraving correct? or should it be the other machined finish? Thanks very much. The Fiddy should, as an E series, have the ...ERAIPANERAIPAN... engraving, PAMs switched to CDG for the H series.
mikellem Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Georgous piece Baltic! Enjoy your new beauty! Mark definitely is one of the best... -MM
evildee Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 baltic, Was the dial smoked? The watch looks great! Cups up to Finepics!
Patriot1 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Great looking watch! How do you get intouch with your repair person that did the final changes to make the watch look so great? Thanks
Dario33 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Very nice. Love the blue hue AR on the crystal too.
Finepics Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Baltic - thanks for the compliments. I just kitted out my own fiddy with a new Simona Vintage Tan strap - really nice and the smell. DSN's hands are an absolute must have for the fiddy as the rep minute hand has too small a diameter pinion end.
