Fiddy lume shot

[007]

This is the Fiddy from Silix I have received today. Out of the box lume shot with superlumed davidsen hands on the side for comparison. Is that dial superlumed or what? After about 10 minutes of charging.

Davidsen hands glow a tiny bit brighter though.
Comes fitted with a plexiglas with a light AR type of coating. I was told it is antiscratch coating. Who cares. looks blueish to me.

I will do the cannon pin fix and rebrush the CG. The crown is nice and thick There are some quality control issues that I'll try to resolve with the dealer. Other than that it looks good. OK few more shots:

Thanks Elliot

With the protective film still on.

Thanks enzo. I was wondering about the movement myself. For the looks, as you say, there isn't anything better right now. Of course we won't get these made by ETA for us either. So on the movement looking like this we may expect some Chinese parts. And that's OK as long as the majority of the parts is genuine Swiss.
Is that the case in your opinion, or is it just another better made Chinese copy movement? I hope not.

I have a C6497 with beveled gears, very nice CDG but no laser etched nor stamped ETA logo. Like Enzo said
QC is not a priority for the manufacturers.....dirt and lack of oil is very common.

Plexi crystal? Really? That's kinda cool. I would prefer Plexi to mineral, actually.

The watch gains +5 seconds / 24 hours. The regulator needle is moved to the + side a bit. It even looks like it has been regulated. I know it is coincidence, but +5 sec is cool in my books.
I'll have the case and the movement cleaned and checked for oiling when the cannon pin fix is done.
It is a very decent watch for $226 shipped EMS.
