217 Destro "FIDDY" Incoming compared to my Marlin 127

[GWT#1]

To complement my 127 I have decided to purchase the 217 Destro "FIDDY".
My concern is though is it appropriate to wear the Destro on the left arm as a normal watch??

Here are the QC pics already purchased but if see any problems let me know it is going to Marlin as soon as it arrives for complete movement mod will have Gen Incabloc, gen gear train, ETA engraving on main plate.









Movement gets Marlins full spa treatment!!

I pick the 127! Hopefully Marlin can transform your 217 like he did the 127. The distortion on the 217 crystal would drive me crazy.

I always wore destros on left arm, no problem with that. In fact it's even more comfortable

Seems to be terrible breakage in the crystal, and tbh the min hand looks ragged and the tip seems poorly finished also.

breakage in the crystal?

breakage in the crystal?

Distortion in the sapphire, have a look at the picture of the 127 posted, then look again at the 217 and you will see what I mean

the 217 crystal can be replaced by WSO ..

Awesome collection and no words can describe Marlin's awesome movement works..

Look @ the six on the dial like others have said.


So,... The Fiddys are available again? Is there 127s again too?

no actually I was promised there were very limited 127's then paid and magically there were none! they had few 217's but very few no noob 005's no 111's no shat from noob right now have no idea whats up with that? but I have few deals in the works for another 127 and killer marlin 6154 build with rolex engraved 3601 Mal movement check his section thats my 6154 cream dial hes building also that will be # 4 and the 217 #5 hes built for me!

Yes going straight to marlin hes going to engrave main plate with ETA marks, all gold tone gears will be ETA, WSO xtal, gen Incabloc system, change the swan neck spring to h factory! If hand is bad get him to change while there!

Guys,

All the 127s are sold out again, more should come in limited amounts soon....

Long waits for these watches, they are in very high demand. I've had guys waiting patently since March. Small release last week, but definitely not enough to even scratch the surface.....

I have a 217 and 026 that i wear on my left wrist. Find them more comfy as the CG doesn't hit my wrist.

Pretty sure my 217 (from Toro in June, his last one) has better crystal than your qc pics.

side profile is correct just the distortion....all is well though marlin is fixing for me!!!
