Nanuq Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 (checks watch) Is it April Fools Day again already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 this sounds like everyone's first experience repairing their own watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 So I just graphite lubed the s**t out of the 2 gears I could see, and I blew the lube into the gap. Oh wow... Sounds like the guy on timezone that shot a squirt of WD-40 into the back of his gen Rolex to "lubricate" the movement... Didnt turn out very well. Im afraid if you need that if you a new case, caseback, dial, hands and movement parts... you may as well just buy a new watch as it might be cheaper than buying all the parts seperately dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanshogun Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 really? it's been running all night and hasn't lost a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I think your best shot is to try and find somebody that's got a dead Daytona laying around that will sell it cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Just spray some WD40 on the movement ... that always does the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanshogun Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 well, the method I used, despite having the elegance of a narcoleptic stripper on acid, has worked; at least for now. 24 constant hours now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 It's great that your watch has been running continously, but I can't help but shake my head. These kind of comments scare the crap out of me: So I just graphite lubed the s**t out of the 2 gears I could see, and I blew the lube into the gap. Anyways, like the gentleman above mentioned, I would post that you are looking for a dead daytona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanshogun Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 why is that scary? it is a fake watch after all, with a maximum value of say $200 to me, and to the dealer I bought it from, as that is what I payed. the dead daytona has a value of $0 to me, and anyone else I'm sure. Any attempt at fixing it can only increase the value of the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
