DSN Fiddy -- Like You've Never Seen One Before!

[vbarrett]

So, long story short, my beloved Davidsen Fiddy/PAM 127 is going back to his Gepetto in Hong Kong. Sniff. (Will explain later, in detail)

But first, a few photos for those of you who just pulled the trigger on this pricey, but very sexy watch.

This may be as close as you can get, until you get it on your wrists!

Strap: Tootall (RWI), "B2", 125/75 (CORRECTION on leather)
Case: Panatime.com (*bay)

NOTE: Comments about the watch, how accurate/inaccurate it is, are very much welcome. [smilie=kermit.gif]

The Tootall strap really makes the watch !! What is the matter with it??...........Is it only telling the correct time twice a day?? :shock:

Hehe.

Well, cosmic, if you'll forgive me being tight-lipped until my exchange is successfully concluded. I think it's only discrete to do so, out of respect to the vendor trying his best, you'll agree.

There is only one hint I will give you, which you guys may have noticed: one of the problems is "simply" cosmetic. See if you can discern it.

(And none of the problems are mechanical, but then I'm not expert)

AND TOOTALL'S STRAP ROCKS! It totally makes the Fiddy jump.

@Yllwtrb: I hope it arrives safe and sound too. Considering it has to go back with tracking, which is a fortune, I'm guessing it will...

That tootal strap does look great. too bad it has to bo back. Hope its not held hostage too long.

 

[bwhitesox]

The font on the dial looks a bit off to me...It's different from my early Davidsen fiddy that I have.
What do you think as I am no expert.?

 

[Veratio]

I love that watch. I am wearing mine now. It is a very good replica in my book!


Good times,

Not a major issue at all IMO, but I agree, its the best for Master to fix it, should be a doddle for him It probably bugs you since you know it's there.

Even with an issue, it's a heck of a watch !

cheers,

No gold print on the words "Officine Panerai" on movement.

Wow all the way back to Asia for that minor an issue (something that's totally cosmetic and against your wrist)? Unless your gonna hand the watch around for people to inspect is it worth the risk of it getting snagged by customs on the trips there or back here? Anyhow hope your wearing it again soon.

 

[rolli]

i have seen many like yours befor.

[Natron]

My thoughts exactly. That is a big risk. For something that 99.99% of the world will not even know what that watch is.

Good Luck,

Natron

 

[davethecat]

@ $200, I'd live with it or paint it myself.

@$400........ back it goes.

Customs will rarely sieze one piece - especially if sent properly.

 

[moggio]

go and send it back...for that price...it should be Flawwless for the eyes ..lol

$200 maybe ...not 400

 

[tootall]

Awesome watch vbarrett. The strap is a B2 though. The W2 was an ammo strap.

I see it didn't make it to your boyfriend afterall.

 

[willster]

I guess the upside down CG lever is the new fashion
:lol:

Now, usually I would let a comment like this go, but MK08, I think you know me better than that by now.

I'm light, airy, happy, but not frivolous. As I said, it's ONE of the issues which I am not prepared to enumerate since the guy is working with me.

P.S.: What Moggio and Davethecat said is bang on. I have tonnes of mistakes on even my wonderful Andrew 111h. I know this, he does too. He sold it to me on those conditions, and may I say once again, his customer service skills are AWESOME.

But $420 (with fees), and it goes back if it so much as has a crooked lever.

There is no wiggle room with a price like that.

Will CORRECT!

Hey, got a PM about the strap already on another forum. Just so you know. *g*

(Actually, it was bad timing on your part on Risti. I had just opened the Book of Psalms in praise of Savage's straps. Two Risti guys I had bought straps from asked me for references about him, and one guy said he bought 2 of Sav's straps simply because of my testimonial...when you came along a few posts later, I was knocking my head on the monitor. I didn't think I could do the same in consecutive days, else they'd smell a rat. Even if there is no rat! You both have DA SKILLZ!)

I see it didn't make it to your boyfriend afterall.

Not the DSN! But I got him a 217h. Shhh.

 

[vbarrett]

i have seen many like yours befor.

Ahh, lucky man.

But as I said, it was posted largely for the people who had JUST bought the DSN, like one guy who told me he should get it this Friday (*waves*, he's here reading this) and if I could tell him if the font was this way/that way, and the dial brown.

Well, I have no idea really what the Fiddy SHOULD look like, hence, this pictorial review doubles as a primer for all of us.

P.S.: Rolli, what's up with you? You were so active before, and now you're barely around any forum! Ahh, August. Holidays? Enjoy!

Yeah since I posted that I noticed (over on RWG) you had a list of things you wanted him to address. But as I mentioned in my post over there, all those issues come standard in Rep territory. Unfortunately even with the higher dollar Davidsen reps there are still quite a few flaws, but hey that's why his is 450.00 instead of 15,000 :wink:
