David74 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Got my DSN Fiddy today. Love the watch....massive wrist presence. Can someone pls advice on what mods should I get done on this? Here are some quick pics: waiting for mine and interested in the needed mods already ordered a ted su strap which i feel will fix perfectly
Samurai Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 Congratulations. I ordered a Gunny 74 strap. Expecting it end-1st week May.
PaulVanDyk Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 as soon as i sell my Spitfire im pulling a trigger on one of the DSNs pieces myself =)))
Samurai Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 Can someone pls confirm if this is indeed a Swiss E movement (that I paid for)? Someone over @ rg commented that this is an Asian movement.
hooky Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Good choice with the Gunny strap. Today I received to Gunny straps from Peter as well. Looks quite nice. About mods, for higher accuracy and better reliability, you could let the 6497-2 movement have serviced. Not too expensive also. Only problem is that then you could not wear it for a few weeks.
R_Squared Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Can someone pls confirm if this is indeed a Swiss E movement (that I paid for)? Someone over @ rg commented that this is an Asian movement. Looks asian to me ... the tell is in the Incabloc shock protector and rough finish of the movement plates/bridges.
klocklind1 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 That is a nice Fiddy ! You have to fix the pin on the crownguard and file it flat ! Look for on the search function! That IS a swiss eta because I have never seen an asian movement with that big sized balance wheel. On the asian the balancewheel is most of the time smaller and has a 21 000 beats/hour and the swiss one has 18 000 b/h! Some swiss do have incablock shockabsorber that IS correct! Nice lume too! Wear it well
Samurai Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 Really confused now if it's a Swiss E movement or an Asian one.
l3x Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 I agree. Gunny would look crazy on that thing.
Samurai Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 Asked DSN if the movement was indeed Swiss. His reply below: "Pls be assured that this is 100% gen swiss movt. do not have to sorry about this."
OmegaPOFL Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 well i've read from others that if dsn says its gen, then its gen... BUT isnt the asian version better anyway?? using more expensive parts? someone help me on that...
Hongkytonkman Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 looks like the swinese we've seen often years back.. swiss ebauche with chinese gears etc.
Samurai Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 So as of now it's pointing towards not being completely Swiss E movement. hmmmmm
THANOS Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 So as of now it's pointing towards not being completely Swiss E movement. hmmmmm you could still sale this fantastic combo(127+gunny) to me..... f@cking awesome
sander Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 It looks really lovely man. Hope you enjoy wearing it. The mods you can do are the CG pin fix and maybe try to find a crown wheel and a ratchet wheel with polished teeth. For the rest it seems pretty good to me. Ciao, Sander PS: is it sapphire and how is the AR?
Samurai Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 The crystal is sapphire and the AR is fairly decent and the sapphire is nicely domed. I am getting the CG pin mod done.....however, am waiting to get a definite view on the movement...i.e. whether it's swiss/asian or a combination before I touch anything on the watch. Cheers

Samurai Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 The Fiddy is indeed very very nice. Even the wife liked it...
bluerex Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Do the gens also have the "PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI" ingraved on the movement?
Samurai Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 Do the gens also have the "PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI" ingraved on the movement? Yes they do
Samurai Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 Here is what the back plate looks like...notice the brushed finish/scratches: Here are the movement pics:
milsub5517 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 This is a swasian movement in best case scenario, in worst case its all asian. But its never 100% swiss. Unless davidsen has access to Panerai assembly line to get those engraved plates... Really confused now if it's a Swiss E movement or an Asian one.
