M3Vert Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 I purchased a 1:1 Fiddy about 2 months ago and woke up this morning to find the crystal cracked. It looks like someone took a hammer to it but it was fine when I set it on my night stand last night. I read about these pressure crackings before on the old RWG but couldn't find any information here. Does anyone know of a source where I can buy one of these? Should I just contact my original dealer to see if I can buy the part from him (Joshua) or is there a more appropriate and faster way? Thanks, Steve
M3Vert Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Posted April 12, 2006 It wasn't a helpful reply but it was certainly funny. I guess I should have taken it off BEFORE she tied my wrists to the bedpost. I'll remember that next time. Steve
Bignasty Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 I saw a mineral crystal for the fiddy for sale either here or at the TRC last night. Good luck man. I've got the Fiddy from TWG and it's great so far. I think it's Mineral Crystal on mine though. From what I hear mineral crystals don't shatter quite as easily as the sapphires. Jon
M3Vert Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Posted April 12, 2006 Thanks BigNasty, I'll do a search on TRC. I saw an old thread with one for sale here but it was sold. And the search continues . . . Steve Here's a Pic so you can see what I mean:
Undermeman Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 Now thats what I call a Big watch, is that the new 270mm version. Sorry about the crack though, I hope you can source a a new crystal.
slay Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 try jay&angel, im sure they can source a new crystal for you!
M3Vert Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Posted April 13, 2006 I'll try them, thanks. I found a guy on Paneristi.com that sources mineral and sapphire ones for the Fiddy but he's out of stock. We traded e-mail earlier today. Thanks for the help everyone. I'll try to size the pic better next time so it doesn't look like: The Attck of the Fifty Foot Fiddy! Steve

Steve How much is he asking for the sapphire crystals? thanx Jon
KMAN Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 Same thing happened to me and Andrew replaced and upgraded me to a better Fiddy (I just paid the difference). Email Josh and see what he can do. I remember seeing Skyliner (something like this) on old RWG have some for sale... Good luck!
M3Vert Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Posted April 13, 2006 He didn't say but I'll PM you when I find out. Steve
M3Vert Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Posted April 13, 2006 Will do, thanks for the tip!
