Hi...

Can anyone help me make a decision...

I recently bought myself a very nice 'Fiddy' 127 from Silix.

The watch looks a treat , has a nice swiss movement and recently I bought a killer strap to finish it off. My only concern is the sapphire...

Now I know... because of the bevel it won't be a clear as flat Sapphire crystal (like the one on my Pan 111)... but I can't help thinking, that it's not as clear as it should be and maybe doesn't have AR coating...

My question...has anyone recently bought one of Davidson AR Sapphire's and if so...when it was fitted was there a great difference to the clarity of the glass.

I'm just about to send my watch to him, to fit a new crystal in the hope the clarity of the glass will be clearer... but thought I might ask the forum for some advise...

Many thanks...

Alan...

Hi Alan, I have a fiddy w a davidsen replaced sapphire - its really sharp and looks terrific. It does make a difference imo if you are looking for that little bit of extra umph and attention to detail.

If you are looking to wear this all the time and a real watch lover who looks for the little fine tuning one can do to improve the watch, you'll be pleased with the change.

enjoy the watch!
