Having problems with your fiddy?

a glass problem

Or a very bad recessed pin problem

having a new sahppire or up grading to a new cannon pin are very standard procedures.

Why not changing it to a vintage panny!

step 1

Replace the shattered glass with a high plexiglass

step 2 put a new vintage dial and a rxw hands

step 3 install bezel and movt into the old case

do not forget to turn up side down the lever crown guard!

Isn't the crown supposed to be the Rollie-ish kind rather than the flat crown for 6152-1?

I like it.....

Just that i hope the Fonts can be bigger and closer together like the GEn....

But nice work Mr. Davidsen!!

well,

I am trying to use all standard parts from a Fiddy to mod it to a vintag 6152.

Also if you find radiomir panerai font is abit small .there is an option of using the
marinia militare engrave dial which fonts are bigger.

Hi davidsan! Very very good pointer. I did almost exactly the same thing using this dial:



However, didn't get the crystal upgrade... Looking forward to it!

Same config:
RXW Hand,
Your movement (waiting :lol:)
This dial... I took it from a busted PAM.
