Latest Mini Fiddy

[AlexLeGrande]

I owned a 44MM Mini Fiddy several years ago, and experienced the exploding crystal phenomenon. The word on the forums was that the mineral glass cystal was just not strong enough to resist the pressure of that dome. And all of the minis had mineral crystals. Folks were frantically searching for real saphire, or acrylic crystals, without success, to repair their watches. I now see that several new to me dealers are selling the Mini Fiddy. The watch still features a mineral crystal. Did the factories or dealers somehow solve this problem in the months that I have been away?

I sure hope so 'cause I just ordered one from D4M!!!

I wonder if it was just a batch of Mini Fiddy crystals that suffered from the explosions (perhaps they had been a bit too wide). I've noticed that Sead (dealer on other site) has sold quite a few over the past few months, a few have been posted for sale, but no more mention of exploding crystals on them.

Hope so anyway, as I'm piecing together my own

Thanks for your replies.

Anyone with a recent (lat year or so) mini fiddy purchase care to share their crystal experiences?
