DSN Fiddy - Just arrived (Pics inside)

[samurai jack]

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:

Bro, I would suggest a crown guard pin flush mod... the rest looks perfect!

 

[samurai jack]

Thanks brah. Any tips on where to get this done?

Also, can someone pls confirm if this is indeed a Swiss E movement?

 

[alvinado]

Bro it is very simple...

1) take out the crown guards
2) use something sharp with a small hammer to knock up the pin
3) then use a nail file (the finer ones) to file down the pin to be flushed with the CG.

Hope my instructions are not too simple...

As for the movement, I am not expert... let others chime in

Congrats on you new watch...

 

[alvinado]

If you do not mind you can send it to me and I do it for you... FOC..

You are living in Singapore aren't you?
Helping you is an excuse... I just wanna see the DSN Fiddy Lol!!

 

[samurai jack]

I'll take you up on the offer mate. Let me know when/where to meet

 

[alvinado]

No prob... pm me your contact and I get to you... I really wanna see the DSN in the flesh!!

 

[alvinado]

Bro, left is rep and right is gen.... We will aim to make the pin look flushed like the gen!!!

 

[samurai jack]

Nice comparison pics. PM sent bro.

Can someone pls confirm if this is indeed a Swiss E movement?

 

[Dogma]

Sweeet!! This one will be my next after the 176 from DSN.

This is illegal. It's PORN! Wrist PORN!

Nice shots. What camera are you using? I've got a whimpy Sony T9 which is nowhere fit for taking close-up watch shots.

 

[horologie_unitas]

dont worry about the movement.

should be swiss base, of course the bridges are asian.

these mvmnts are bulletproof !

nice watch, the CG lever pin does not look all to bad, otherwise if you you cant live with it....easy fix.

Looks great. Can't beat the fiddy and can't beat DSN.

 

[samurai jack]

I am using a Sony D350 with a Tamrom 90mm lens.

The movement has an Incabloc, which is rare for Swiss movements. If the bridges etc. are Asian....then I guess it's not on. I ordered and paid for a Swiss E movement....not a hybrid Swiss+Asian. I had asked DSN about the movement in general and sent him two movement pics and he replied:

"Pls be assured that this is 100% gen swiss movt.

i meant do not have to Worry abovt the fiddy movt from me.Swiss is swiss.you have my word on this."

What do you guys suggest....am perplexed. DSN sayss this is a Swiss movement...and I think I can make out a 6497 stamped on the movement as well. However, the movement itself doesn't seem completely Swiss .... :?

 

[alvinado]

I think even DSN is screwed on this... the majority of pure swiss E movements are hard to source... from you pictures it could be a hybrid...

edit: I mean that maybe he is screwed by his supplied as well...

Here is a pic of the Swiss Fiddy that DSN delivered to a member a few days back.....seems different from the one I got:

 

[alwayslate]

DSN has been top notch as far as I know. Doesn't make sense for him to pull a fast one on you. Very likely he has been taken for a ride by his suppliers. What do you expect, it's China, everybody screws each other.

 

[samurai jack]

I have no doubts over DSN and the qaulity of the products. Quite likely that there has been some mistake somewhere with the movement part. I have written to DSN ...let's see what he comes back with.

The fiddy overall...is top notch. The lume is awesome as well.

 

[turbogt]

The movement posted by Samurai is DSN's Swiss E movement. The one on your fiddy looks like the Asian version (hence the Incabloc). DSN is a great guy, I'm sure he can verify and if mistaken, change your piece for the one you paid.

Best of luck!

Maybe it's the A/R..... but is it just my eyes or does the GEN have whiter fonts? i.e Panerai and 1950 letterings
