Hi,

Like the above mentioned, where do I get the best version of the fiddy, seen those on our TD's site, also been through various sale threads such as those done by vac etc. Where would be the best place to get one? Thanks!!

Regards

The best can be found in an AD... ;)

If you can, try to find an Eddy Lee version, which is considered to be an ultimate.
Or contact goin6633 (asia) or sead1999 (europe) to make you a custom build.
Or contact a TD to source you one.
How much do you plan to send on it? How "close to gen" do you want to get? Important questions for you to answer....

trying to find an eddie lee version would surely get you the best version, however, as eddie lee is history, you will have to be a very lucky man to ever come across one for sale.

next in line are the davidsen and the socalled cartel versions.

of these two, the davidsen has the best lume, crystal, crownguard and hands.

the cartel version has the best case and crown.

now as the davidsen ultimate version sells for 450$, and the cartel is less than half, I suggest to buy the cartel version with matte bridges and swan neck.
then get yourself a davidsen set of hands, a davidsen crystal and a davidsen crown guard.
he is likely to sell you these as parts.
then have any modder relume the sucker and have the crystal treated with a single sided AR from fine dd.


there you go, you'll have the best fiddy rep. ( if we're talking about built from "in stock parts")


oh, btw, from what I could see when I stripped down a dsn and a cartel next to each other, the dials are the same. so a elumed cartel dial is plenty.

good luck

What do you mean by cartel? The stock fiddy from our TD? I bet the one from sead is gonna cost a bomb.

whether you AR the crystal or not doesnt make a diff, because the rep crystals dont come close to the gen at all

dont waste money on that

what i have done is take a cartel, had the dial and hands relumed by goin and ar crystal job by finedd, and you can say it doesnt look close to the gen blue you have no blue tint blocking the view...
But after a year now i am thinking of purchasing a dial, hands and cg from davidsen so i am more on the way trksh-bzr is suggesting...
Also can anyone tell me where i can pick a nice one movement? I have a swiss 6497 and i was looking for a asian with nice engravement plates.

I bought a really nice cartel fiddy from angus for my work buddy. though the dsn mods had to be done, I still think the mvt looks better than the "swiss" dsn mvt. the bridges on the mvt from angus are matte, where the dsn is shiny.

try to ask angus for a mvt?

NO rep crystal no matter who it's from and what AR will never come close because of the shape. The only one who came close was an old Rex mineral crystal which he can't get anymore ,all others are not in the same league

I have an EL crystal and the Gen crystal and there's absolutely no comparison, don't waste your money ARing any rep crystals for the 127 or 217

Isn't it true that the Fiddy super rep is due from H factory sometime later in the current year?

I'll really be looking forward to this one! Seems like we're only waiting for the proto to be done.
