Fiddy or 217

[davewe]

I'm sure this has been debated before. I put off buying a Fiddy while all the changes and upgrades got sorted out. While i don't have a tiny wrist I am concerned that the CG will jam into my wrist. This happened with my Big Pilot and even my Panny 3646 does so. So then I thought, get the Destro with the CG on the other side.

Other than the reverse set up and text differences are there any other differences between the 2 that make one or the other better? I want a domed crystal and those nice golden hands.

Fiddy for sure...simply and classy...i do like the fidestro but the crown guard for sure will bother me on the wrong hand...and about the 8 days...it would be a great project...8 days + angelus pocket watch movement....time to save more money and starts a new project...

I own both and they are both very cool, but the 217 is funky to wear. Wearing on the right wrist just seems off to me and it is a little strange on the left. For some reason the 127 just fits.

I say you buy both and let me know if you agree.

Cheers,
