Mini Fiddy from TWP on GeF from E *modem burner*

[mmg2]

Picked up this "Mini-fiddy" from TWP a while back, and finally got around to taking some pics. Threw it on a GeF from E, and it totally transformed the watch. I will be "vintaging" the watch soon, likely in a couple of weeks - so these should serve as good "before" pics :lol:


This is probably one of my favorite personal watch pics

I like how the stitching on the strap compliments the color of the hands

Straight on shot of the dial

beautiful movement (look at those bridges!), thick strap, and lovely buckle!

Nice domed crystal

Another movement shot - I actually like how there's no needle regulator, don't know how true this is to the older panerai models

Parting shot

as always, comments appreciated - thanks!

mmg2, your on a shopping spree man. Another great acquisition.

The mini-fiddy case is fantastic. No collection is complete without a watch with this case, IMO. I have a custom "vintage" watch in a mini-fiddy case. I'm thinking of swapping out the mineral crystal with an acrylic/plexi one. It would add to the vintage feel, I think (as a bonus it wouldn't ever explode, either. :wink: ).

Don't worry about the lack of a regulator needle. This is a fantasy PAM, so there is no gen perfection to strive towards. Enjoy that thing, 'cause it's a beauty!

Nice shots and very cool watch, great alternative to a 47mm Fiddy.

Is the mini fiddy fantasy?

 

[VirginiaWatchFan]

You better believe it's fantasy, but it's all the reason to get one. Change the dial, change the movement. It's your watch so customize it as you see fit.

I'm actually ready to pull the trigger on one right now, but I have a question/concern about the crystal. This is probably going to be likely to explode, just like its bigger brother. Where, then, can we get the acrylic crystals? If I can source one, I will buy one right now, today.

Thanks.

VWF, I have a bookmark for some domed 35.5mm acrylic watch crystals at home. I'll post it in this thread when I get home from the office. I don't know that they'll fit for sure, but that's the advertised size for DSN's replacement sapphire crystals. I'm *assuming* that it will fit the mini-Fiddy case, but I don't know that for a fact.

 

[VirginiaWatchFan]

Cool. Then I will order a dial and hands from DSN and be done with it.

 

[hooligan]

Here is the most promising part I could find. Perhaps flav/vaccum/enzo/joe/whoever could chime in as to whether or not they think it'll fit/work?

Replace the "hxxp" with "http", obviously.

 

[VirginiaWatchFan]

Thanks for the info... I may have just ordered the last one!
