7750 issues on rolex daytona...does this mean for other chrono's too?

No worries :) If I can get the dimensions for the pinion, I can compare them to the dial, and based on that, try and order a movement :) If it doesn't fit for me, I'm sure someone else would be able to make use of it :tu:

My bad! :bangin: Forgot to get you the dimensions last night. Pulled out the movement then got distracted. Will get them tonight!

No problem, I'll be keen to see what the dimensions are and how things might line up :) Still can't access Cousins, and I'm not sure if I want to risk the wrath of Otto Frei by ordering something from him :lol:

8mm from center to each chrono post for the tricompax movement, sec @9.

6.75mm from center to each chrono post for a Rolex w/. sec @6.

If you want I can post pic of the Rolex dials I have. One is sec @6 the other is sec. @9. So you can see the subdial spacing difference. Let me know :drinks:

thanks guys!

looks like until a solid rep comes out that addresses these issues from the get-go, to get the daytona working right is a project :)

back to the other question...does this affect other 7750 chrono brand watches like breitling?

thanks again guys!

Thanks for the measurements, I'll check my dial tomorrow, once I'm a bit more refreshed from the events of the weekend thus far, and if you could post the pics of the dials, that would be fantastic :) Thanks indeed :drinks:

[Edit to add]

I just measured up, and I think 8mm seems to be the right figure :) Definitely worth ordering a movement when I can spare the cash and see how it all fits :) Worst comes to the worst, I'd just pass on the movement :) Thanks again for the measurements :)
