I was inspired by a recent sale of an Eddie Lee 127 dial to investigate options for making a more interesting Fiddy rep. I did some research and I was surprised to find so few options out there. With EL gone (for good?) is DSN the only option? I'd appreciate any ideas or alternatives. Thanks!

nooo, DSN isn't your only option (although i think it's the best)

you can get a "fiddy" or 127, from any of the dealers.. Hont, Sead, Josh & Andrew, Trusty, King...

Gotcha--I'm looking for something with more accuracy and a higher level of finish. The EL dial is an option but could take a long time to find one for sale. Are there any other high-end options?

I' m contemplating a fiddy to. Always thought DSN was the way to go but saw that Sead does one as well, and his lume is pretty nice. I guess Sead mods a standard rep 127 and DSN makes his own cases, so which is best quality and accuracy wise?

Does the same apply to the 217? I'm thinking about getting a 217 instead of a 127 for a bit more variation...

Okay, so in terms of "high end" 127 dials, it's just DSN and maybe an EL if I'm willing to go hunting for haystack needles?

Or a gen dial... Even with EL, there's a few versions out there v1-v5 and with DSN, there's the old style dial (which is more accurate) and the new style dial.
