Thanks for the great advice. Before, as I was inadvertently leaving my watches in any of these positions, I wasn't really sure why it was gaining or losing or how to correct it. Now I do.

Excellent rep. I am fortunate as well, my Daytonas have been working fine. I only needed a two week break in period for one of them and the other worked fine out of the box.

I own several Daytonas myself, and the one you picture is a decent to very good rep Kevin. By now, most of us have heard, learned or experienced the infamous A-7750 secs@6 and have either decided to take the plunge, or not. Saying you have, most of the "faults" are going to be noticable only by AD's, watchsmiths and jewelers, and WIS's like ourselves. How the watch looks and feels to YOU is the bigger question. I doubt seriously that anyone is going to say, "let me measure your lume markers", so if you feel comfortable, then fine. If something that minute bothers you, then again, it is your call. Remember these are reps, not perfects, or gens, and we are trying to get as close to 100% as possible. If it were 100%, it would be a gen, not a rep, not a hybrid, not a Frankenwatch. as long as it is a rep, we are looking for even the smallest difference between that and the gen. Heck, there are even differences among gens too. If what you intend to acquire meets YOUR criteria, and is as close to gen as you can get for the price, I say go for it, that's what we're here for, aren't we?

Which reputable dealers are offering the most accurate rep in the CA (Ti)? Now that we've settled the '8', date wheel and font questions by hybridization, do we have an accurate rep we can acquire, or do we all have to mod to add correct movements, fonts, etc.,?
