My mini fiddy........neat watch. I bought it from TWP long ago, then sent it to vac for VACLUME. Here are a couple of pics. The first two are the mini fiddy. The 3rd is a full size fiddy just for comparison.I currently have a PAV 91 strap from elliott on it, but no pics.This pic has the HK TAN velcro. 7.5 inch wrist.

47mm fiddy

So crick........mini fiddy arrived yet?

 

[iSkinnyConHeo!]

So these mini Fiddys are a 44mm species?

 

[crick]

it supposedly shipped today!

Drawbacks are it's not superlumed and it's missing the words "officine panerai" on the movement. 2 dealers have mentioned this to me already so i'm just gonna ssume the mini's are coming like that. to me, it wouldn't matter too much anyways since a mini-fiddy is pretty much a fantasy model

i'm half and half about superlumin' it - would love to, but part of me might be looking into vintaging it for fun.

It could come in wednesday or thursday! OH BOYS!

@iSCH: the minis are 44 mm fantasy models to its big brother 47 pam127 (fiddy)

Love the California dial on that

 

[fakemaster]

Fiddys on the list

Man!!! Everytime I see that mini-Fiddy with the Cali dial, I fall inlove......I gotta have one of these after the 127 comes in.

That thing is simply a beauty~!!!! Just curious, who would be able to build something like that and what kind of $$ am I looking at?

 

[hooligan]

I would talk to vaccum if I was you.

I built that one. The dial/hands/movement came from a vintage Radiomir from Joshua, about $200 delivered at the time, IIRC. Plus another $80 for the mini-Fiddy case. $20 or so for the plexi after shipping. Then a few bucks for vac to throw it all together.

Figure more than $350, probably slightly less than $400 after it's all said and done.

Projects get expensive in a hurry. :wink:

Thanks for the heads up, you're right about the cost of these projects. It does add up to a great sum, but all in all....great fun too~! That's probably one of the joys in this hobby....or in any hobby that is.

I think I'll start off by sourcing a mini-fiddy case and CG. The rest I'll keep an eye on the trade section to see if any good deals come up.

Cheers~

Crick, I had the USPS guy deliver mine to the same physical address......only one block north. :shock: The delivery confirmation showed it being delivered, and it was, just the wrong house! :shock: :shock: I went to the guys house on a hunch, sure enough he had it. "I have been meaning to take this to the post office, just never got around to it." This was two weeks later.

I sent a strap to a guy.....usually 3, 4 days max.........took 4 weeks.

Hopefully it is still floating around..............sorry to hear this crick.

 

[crick]

I just got my fiddy! I had to go 4 buildings down to get it! security guard 4 buildings down sent me a note that the package was delivered to his building by mistake!!!!

OMFG
