Hello, I have a daytona with the sec @6 movement that is known for being quite horrible. I have been told about the different mods and services I can do to make it run right, and I will probably do it. It would run for about 10 minutes and then stop, and this was a common issue. Last night, however, I felt like tinkering with it a bit. I took off the caseback, and wound the rotor by hand. It started working. I took it apart some more and then it stopped. I put it back in the case, put the rotor back on, reinserted the crown and stem, and hand wound (I know, I shouldnt), but then it started working again. I left it last night without the caseback and its running beautifully. It keeps great time (when it did work, it always did). could the case back be the reason for it to stop working? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks (I am posting this same thread on RG and RWG, just because I would like an answer)

After reading in this thread Old School Rolex Daytona ETA 7750 of a ETA 7750 powered Daytona, with Sec@6 for sale, it got me thinking about this mentioned module that gears the Sec@6. Now obviously seeing as the above Daytona has been running flawlessly for several years, its clear this module is actually a success over the metal to metal gearing of the Asian Sec@6 gearing set up. I am aware that some modders can add jewels to the Asian to reduce friction, but what about recreating this module in this ETA 7750? I assume that if a modder, or watchmaker wishes to take on this challenge, then they would actually need to dissect this ETA7750 to find out how exactly it works? It's this what got me to the following questions.. 1. Does anyone know the Origin of this Module for Sec@6 apart from some guy in Taiwan? 2. Are there any Watchmakers out there familiar with this module, and fancy reproducing a few? 3. If yes to 2, please post in this thread and let us all know I am positive many members who would love a Daytona with Sec@6 would be very interested in this, as the current Asian Sec@6 issues is a big put off, and prevents us from enjoying a reliable Sec@6 Daytona. Looking forward to any input/advice etc.
