ArkoN Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hi everyone, we all know the problem with the rolex daytona and the asia 28k bph movement. It sucks because of the seconds at 9 modification. Now I found something: http://www.silix-prime.com/rols018-p-1485.html "Movement:Automatic Lemania copy manual, with running second at 9. Also available with asian-7750." Does anybody knows something about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I received my "running seconds at 9" today and other than the subdial spacing it looks fantastic! I knew about the spacing before I ordered it but I thought it a reasonable compromise for a more reliable movement in a watch I was only likely to wear when I needed a stopwatch.

ArkoN Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 sorry I made a mistake, I meant second at 6^^ I read the other thread also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 These have been around for many years. Their biggest flaw (of which they contain many) is the location of the 2 uppermost subdials. On the gens (& good reps), the pinions in the centers of those subdials should be a millimeter or so above the equator of the dial, not in line with it. In my opinion, as rosnik already mentioned, this is a mistake that precludes the watch from serious consideration. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadget Man Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Here is a quick pic taken with my iPhone of a pre 2000 model Daytona (seconds at 9) that I just got from Silix. Yes the subdail spacing is wrong but I felt this was a better (more reliable) option. I notice they have been taken off the site now as it took him a month to find me one.
