greg_r 82 Posted August 1, 2009 Nice Fiddy, but needes STERILIZATION AND VINTAGIZATION!!! NO IT DOESN'T!!! What I need is ANOTHER Fiddy or possibly a 217 - but a sterile one this time The fiddy isn't a vintage watch anyhow - it's a modern watch in the style of an older model, so would look weird vintageised... What I really want - and which CAN be vintageised is a 6514 - or something close to it. One of these days I shall have one - even if I have to build the damn thing myself. I want this case (which is basically a fiddy case without a CG): not necessarily that dial, though - I'd rather like a plain vintageised sandwich dial. + display back and an interesting movement (doesn't have to be the correct movement, but a nice old pocketwatch movement such as you're buying up would fit the bill nicely). Sterilized Parnis : Wow. A Watch with a vasectomy.... Looks good btw - probably a bit big for me, though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted August 1, 2009 The Thousands of Feet looks great sterilzed.... And who cares if the Fiddy isn't old - that is the whole point of homages - they offer freedom baby, freedom from the establishment! Turn on, tune in, drop out baby! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a rep with that case: http://www.timeshops.net/PA1998_-_Panerai_...97_2714-519.htm But it is too much $$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harley357 0 Posted August 2, 2009 My latest acquisition came in today's mail: 1970's diver style Orsa Monstrum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only other reps I've seen with that case have been a couple of vintage DSN models. DSN's case prices are a little OTT, but I'd pick one up for a future project if I could find it at a decent figure. Wearing this today: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted August 2, 2009 Love the Orsa! Been wanting one for a while - but the blue dial is sold out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harley357 0 Posted August 2, 2009 Love the Orsa! Been wanting one for a while - but the blue dial is sold out... Thanks. Bought it on eBay directly from OrsaWatch in Canada. There were 3 left and I think the black ones might be all gone now. There are a few white face/orange listed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
