mad dawg 0 Posted December 7, 2009 This is the premium fiddy from Robert. I bought two (one for a friend) and Robert gave me a good price (much appreciated). Super fast delivery, <1 week to Australia. CG has a problem (see pic) not sure what I will do. CG is lever design is much better than my Getat fiddy Normal rep strap will require replacing. Dosen't have too much of that ugly blue AR. Needs a bit of work but, I think it is a great base to start with. I hope these pics help others decide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mad dawg 0 Posted December 7, 2009 Had a look at HD's tutorial, looks like I have to sand it back (way back). I'll sit on it for a couple of weeks before taking any action, maybe a better idea will arrive. Houndoggie is the CG superman. Give him a shout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted December 7, 2009 Nice Fiddy, although you're right - the rep strap isn't great. Shame the CG isn't quite right - should be fixable, though. As Dingle says, HD is the expert... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pedman 0 Posted January 13, 2010 Nice, I bought the same watch about a year ago. I wish I could get rid of the blue AR. I took acetone to the strap. It stripped the polish off. Then I used ruff sand paper to antique it even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted January 13, 2010 I might try that with some of my plasticky straps, thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, the day I ordered the watch I ordered a strap from Herioc 18. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
