I know for fact that if I give it to The Zigmeister for service, it will comeback better then coming from the factory brand new. I thought about buying the movement alone and swapping it my self.. if I can find the same movement of course. Any idea how much they are going for ? just he movement in Daytona at 6.
Far as Explorer 1 is concern, I love the looks of specially the 1016 vintage. And reliability must be slightly better, if not far more better then A7750 because simply less mechanical functions. I am on the hunt right now as we speak for 1016's but still unsure about which movement to go with. ETA is great but its too fast of beet per sec then original. Asian movement maybe closer however lacks the reliability from my understanding. Is it well worth the extra bucks for ETA movement ?
Also, I always assumed that buying rep with Asian movement in $100-$150 will have exterior defects or cheap feels compare to $200-$350 range super rep with ETA. But, as I learned, that's not always the case. It could be simply just the movement differences and no changes in the exterior shell. If you have any suggestion on 1016's please do let me know. And also anyone who has the A7750 movement for Daytona please do let me know as well
