V Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 First this is not a radiomir... It is a fantasy 44mm version of the fiddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutima Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 First this is not a radiomir... It is a fantasy 44mm version of the fiddy. That is what I thought. But it may make sense for someone with a small wrist to have a taste of the Fiddy..!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest overboosted Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Kinda neat. Aspire has this one too. $129! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shura110 Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Did anybody deal with Aspire? I have a VERY THIN wrist, so for me this watch is perfect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azgjav Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 First this is not a radiomir... It is a fantasy 44mm version of the fiddy. yupz, i know, can tell the difference between a luminor and a radiomir ..but kind of interesting tho, wonder will the 44mm fiddy appeal to most pple..the main attraction of the fiddy, imho, is its size and crystal distortion..this fantasy model has none of that..should i buy it should i buy it should i buy it? nah, i'll wait and see..

dadog13 Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 don't buy it...if you wanna a fiddy get yourself the real version...the 47mm...buy the asian unitas...and if you don't like it and it is too big for you....you can always sell it for the same price...

tutima Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Kinda neat. Aspire has this one too. $129! Puretime is advertising this one for 280usd. Are we talking about the same watch here..?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 buy it and buy a new dial from David and you have your self a great custom watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azgjav Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 don't buy it...if you wanna a fiddy get yourself the real version...the 47mm...buy the asian unitas...and if you don't like it and it is too big for you....you can always sell it for the same price... thanks for the suggestion but..well, i've tried my friend's real fiddy early last yr and i've decided that the size is just too big for my 6.5" wrist. although the distortion and case shape makes it appear smaller than 47mm on the wrist, the lugs extends 2-3mm away from my wrist and if u look at it straight on, u can only barely see the straps at the lugs only and not the curve around your wrist, kind of like putting the watch head without the strap on ur wrist, gross! and i doubt a 47mm which wears horribly will get into my rotation of watches..44mm luminors all the way!

Guest overboosted Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Puretime's is Swiss movement, Aspire's is Chinese movement. It mat be unaccurate but some of use are into watches not 100% accuracy. I like it and will pick one up eventually, cause the 47mm 1950 doesn't work for me.

Watchwatcher Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 i completely agree with overb... i always like the classic design of the fiddy, but even with a 7.5" wrist, i find anything more than 44mm to look and feel... awkward. i think trying to make a 47mm 'fit' on a small wrist is contrary to the intended aesthetic. i'm very tempted by puretime's beauty, but i've got a lot of other models on my wish list... like a really sweet, well made arktos with eta... maybe later in the year.

longshot Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I agree completely I bought a 47mm 1950 from Josh and ordered a 26X24 strap from TC with a pre-V buckle in dark tan with gold/tan stitching. The day the Fiddy arrived I carefully mounted the strap and wiped it all doen and put it on my wrist and in about 30 seconds I took it off It just looked foolish on me. But I love the sandwich dial and the high domed crystal even more so the brushed case with polished bezel of the Fiddy. I have one more spot in the watch box I bought just for Pams and have been seriously considering a 'Base' but this one might just change my mind!
