I know I've already too many pannie projects lined up for the next few months, but the more I look at the Fiddy, the more I love the shape of the case and crystal.

... only problem is, I dislike the gold hands. Is there any alternatives to the PAM 127 that has this Fiddy case yet with black hands? How about a fantasy fiddy with the 2533 stick markers? Someone help~

DSN's MM20s use the same case/crystal as his Fiddy, I believe. Those can be had with gold or silver hands.....

Though I'm a big fan of Marina and Radiomir, I'm still rather green with Fiddy and MM20. You mentioned the cases are the same... what's other difference other than the dial?

Why not get a Fiddy and just change the hands


Greetings Navi :wink:

The MM20 was an homage watch that was built by RXW/Ken Trading. So the dial is different, with simply the "Marina Militare" printing and it has a solid caseback with the RXW/MM20 engravings.

I can't swear that the CG/crown is the same as the Fiddy, but I'm relatively certain the case is the same one that DSN uses on his Fiddy. I *know* the crystal is the exact same piece for both reps.

Having DSN install silver hands on a Fiddy is also an option, if you don't mind having a fantasy watch.

@NAVI. I'm considering getting Fiddy with silver hands ;) Frankly I don't think I'd mind it being a fantasy Fiddy. Furthermore, I'm one of the few rep collectors who seldom sell off my watch (or maybe not yet) so no risk of resale. Who knows? But before I get the Fiddy, I've to make sure I really like it.

@hooligan. Thanks for your help in the comparisons. Now I'm torn between getting a fantasy Fiddy or a MM20... I still like the CG and caseback of the Fiddy more :roll:

In the end, I might end up getting a Fiddy with silver hands... 8)
