Exploded Fiddy Domed Crystal, A Build of Necessity

Recommended Posts

toomanywatches

Found the sapphire domed crystal of my Cartel Ultimate Fiddy (with Swiss movement) had exploded/cracked while resting in my watch box...

Always been meaning to upgrade the watch given the crappy dial with incorrectly shaped numbers and horrible lume.

Guess the 6152 and 3436 project gets pushed back another couple days. Pictures of the rebuild using Southy dial, DSN Hi-Plexi and Lum-tec GX10.

The final result, a 4-Liner, will have to get around to reshaping the case, adding a Okabum CG, and putting in a better plexi at some point. Turned out pretty well for half a days work... Looks really good with Donerix's T-Rex strap

the dial you see is a 'southy' dial.....'Southy' no longer makes these, but I happen to know the member above 'toomanywatches' is also 'Daevildog' found at the link below and he had this exact dial for sale at one time

 

You can PM him here:

Also note, He makes his own dials and is very, very good at it
