E or H movement? 1950

[stutzer]

Hi, I'm asking for help in the difference between Davidsen's FIDDY E movement (older availability?)vs. FIDDY with H movement. His newest. I'm ready to order and this is the only question still lingering.

Thanks for any help.

E is stamped PANERAI PANERAI and is the correct movement for this model.

H is the newest model, with OFFICINE PANERAI engraved in blue.

E movt = needle swan neck

H movt = dagger swan neck (like gen fiddy)

Pics borrowed from Davidsen's previous posts... :lol:

How can that be? 127 was only produced in E series. H series is the one that's found in H series models...

Trust me get the E series or you'll end up with a very odd 127h.

The movement labeled as H-series above is not an H-series movement. It's just a better E-series movement.

H-series does not have the PANERAIPANERAIPANERAI engraving.

You mean... like this?

I think what Davidsen means by "H" series movt for the Fiddy is using the "H" movt with "E" series bridges as there is a so called "flaw" with the "E" series movt as discussed in a thread in RWG.

Have a look at the pics from his latest Fiddy offering http://replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28070

Thank You, Sweet, Fendusi & JoeJoeJoe. That's excellent clarification. My Fiddy will now be forthcoming...............

That's not my watch... :lol: It's one of the pics from Davidsens early Fiddy offerings... :wink:

I have an older, supposedly defective (pallet held place with cock, 1 screw under balance wheel) "E" movt Fiddy... whereas the NEW so called "H" movt Fiddy is the "improved E" movt (pallet held place with bridge, 2 screws under balance wheel)... what we have all been waiting for!

@fendushi
Both E and H-series mov'ts DSN offers are decorated Swiss ETA 6497-1 mov'ts. They're both the best movements you can get these days for Historic PAM reps.

The one with 'the flaw' is actually not Swiss, and as such inferior to the ones he's offering at the moment.

E-series mov't comes with ERAIPANERAIPAN decorated 'flat' bridges, while H-series comes with CDG groves.

I know things can get very confusing... it's always a good thing to ask or do a little research before pulling the trigger... :wink:

Thanks for the info babola...

I understand that in accordance to Officine Panerai.... H series means the bridges of the movt are decorated with CDG (Cote-de-Geneve) engravings. But in accordance with Davidsens pics of his LATEST Fiddy offering posted above... his "H" movt does not have CDG (Cote-de-Geneve) engravings, but "E" series "ERAIPANERAIPAN" engravings.

Maybe Davidsen should call this movt "improved E-series" to avoid confusion?


:lol:
