By-Tor Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hi River. Good to see you back, where have you been? Now that's a great franken-Daytona. Top stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Great stuff River. Good to see you bringing the goods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I am curious about the movement. Is it the same as the el primero or just the same size/spacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 It's the one and only Zenith El Primero. The old Daytona movement. Old Ebel 1911 Chronos used that movement too, before they changed to inhouse "Modulor". PS: This is the exact same model that Don Johnson used in Miami Vice. LINK.

Jackjo Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 One of the better Daytonas that I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Wow, the el primero made appearances across many different brands. Interesting, very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Wow, the el primero made appearances across many different brands. Interesting, very interesting. Lots of brands used it. Movado in their top model, Ebel... I'm sure there were others too. TAG Heuer still uses it in Link Calibre 36 chrono (the most expensive Link).

dbutlerman Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Wow even Movado. I'm going to research this movement a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Where do you get an MBW daytona case?? I heard they used to make them but i have never seen one before... This must have come with one of the old wide spaced subdial ETA7750 movements?? Very cool project!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 That is a lovely watch my old friend and I'm guessing you are selling as you said it will be in your section soon! There was a case set that came out of Taiwan but not sure it is still made or available. The original George used to sell these(NOT George of WM9) I think Ubi's may have this case set too but not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Nice watch River, I just noticed an increase of body parts for sale on ebay i think people are trying to collect spare cash for your sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to buy sets from George (greece George), but back in 2007 he replied he no longer has them. Got one set left, but not sure i want to part with it.
