My new DSN Fiddy

[nielsen]

I rather pulled out all the stops: getting both a DSN 360 plus an 'Ultimate Fiddy' from David. I'd like opinions on the Fiddy. I love the crystal, but is the crown supposed to have a ridge/ring on the inside where it seats against the case. I rather assumed that the side of the crown would be flat but mine certainly isn't. The crown also strikes me as a bit small and is a bit awkward to wind. Is that normal. I just want to make sure I get what I paid for. I did get the Asian, rather than Swiss, movement. Another question: I have a mere 7.5" wrist and the Fiddy looks enormous on it. Does this really work....?

Sorry about my poor photgraphy skills. I don't know how you experts avoid the glare....

He the crown dos look a bit small on the picture,:thinking: but its still a beautiful watch. Strange that he would use a smaller crown al the sudden.
I was planning on buying the ultimate fiddy a month ago but I am still not sure, also because my wrist is also not big.
Damn… how to grow wrist size. maybe more :bbq:

I like to see the backside.....if possible

Here are a couple of more pictures--one of the back, the other of the Crown Guard and crown. Again, I'm interested in any observations on accuracy from you experts. I should say that the lume is really great. Just blazes away....

don't worry mate. that's a stunning watch. congratulations on your purchase. the size's ok. i have a 6 1/4 inch wrist and am also interested in getting one!

Here's some pics of a gen that's going for about USD22k! (ermm... for something that's essentially a 6497?)

OK, I have got a 7-inch wrist, so that should not have to be a big problem.
I ware a Maurice Lacroix Pontos decentrique witch is 46mm, so that’s very close….. and it does not look very big to me.
I also think you will have to get used wearing a bigger size watch.
What about the crown of Nielsen’s 127, this does look a bit smaller than usual, can this be because of the Asian movement? (I would not think so).

Actually, judging by the photo of the genuine, it appears that my crown is spot-on.
