Well... it depends, you bought the Fiddy stock? With certain mods? :|

If you bought it stock the mods you'll need are: Superlume for the dial and hands, cannon pinion fix, sapphire crystal and AR coating for the Crystal.

Did you order any mods when you bought the watch?

Most of the mods that would be needed require disassembly. Take some pics and possibly a review. Angus is puretime right?

I just remembered one easy mod. A new strap. The strap makers on the forum make some great products at fair prices. I must admit once you start buying straps they become another addiction.

Yep. Hopefully he purchased the sapphire crystal + AR when he got it. That will save him a lot of trouble sourcing one + installing it.

Or you could just let someone who knows what they're doing work on your watch... :p :lol:


We need to see pics of this Fiddy and hear the details about what you ordered before we can make any intelligent suggestions, really.

You could do the crown gaurd pin fix with hot glue. That would be an easy first starter. Currently I'm on my phone so I can't post links but if you search for hot flue fix it should come up. That way you won't have a floppy lever and you can also sand the cg pin flat to make it more gen if it isn't already.

HA HA HA I just laughed out loud. Good burn Hooligan lol

Back on topic i would recommend a killer custom strap from someone like peter gunny. Or find a nice used one in the sales sections. The stock fiddy strap is horrible quality.

Where do I get the extra set of hands that replicate the GEN. I have seen that the GEN has a relieve on the hands making it more dimentional. Hand and step for the lume.
