OK, I've decided I really like the look of the Fiddy, but damn it's big. Too big, to my mind, for my 7" wrist. Is there a PAM alternative in a more do-able 44mm size. What I like is the domed crystal and the simple dial (must be black). Thus I don't care whether or not it has a second hand. I would also prefer to have the CG with the lettering on it, but I presume that could be modified. Ideally it would be a destro, but I know that really is pushing the boundaries. I've looked but don't seem to see anything. Advice from you Panaristii wold be gratefully accepted. .....And if there is one, who offers the best rep of it?

The Fiddy wears much smaller than the numbers imply, IMO.
Otherwise, all Pams look alike so pick any one you want. (Let the flames begin!) :cool2:

I have a 7.5" wrist and wear a 49mm Railmaster XXL at times. I don't think the 127 will be a problem with your 7" wrist. Wimpy-Wrists would be 5"-6" not 7"!

Hey, thanks for the vote of confidence, but..... Just looking at Davidsen's Photobucket and I see his new MM20 watches. Anyone know what size they are? Anyone reviewed these? They look very Fiddyesque. Assuming they are, is it possible to put on the CG from the Fiddy on to one of these--I like the writing on the Fiddy CG?

The MM20 is 47mm as well, the RXW company used to copy the 127 so that's where it comes from. I guess you could ask Davidsen to put a Fiddy CG on the MM20, it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask him. :)

No point if they are both 47mm. Is Davidsen's Fiddy that much better than everyone else's? I assume it is in the $400+ range where others have it for significantly less--but I understand that you usually get what you pay for. In particular I would like a good strong lume.

Hey, thanks for that Guanaco. Incidentally, I miss your bucksome avatars--though they were terribly distracting

I can get you a "mini fiddy" which is 44mm if you want. Can't remember my cost but would likely cost you about $125 (I think ) and shipping.
