RolexSigEp Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hey guys I've been reading for hours about the Daytona. I know the secs @ 6 are a time bomb and the secs @ 9's subdials aren't spaced properly but had an observation and question that I couldn't find an answer. The 21 jewel movement Daytona looks to be thinner than the secs @ 6 rep along with the bezel not having as severe of an angle and overall a pretty decent rep, to my untrained eyes. Is it possible to get a 21 jewel movement rep Daytona and have the large chronograph hand somehow frozen pointing to 12 while the subdial @ 6 still runs? Please help, thanks guys!

Only if you can locate a 3-hand movement with running seconds at 6 (instead of the center) that fits into the cutout for the hour totalizer (lower subdial) in your dial. People have been searching for such a movement since I have been here, but I am not aware that anyone has yet found 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 No, not with the 21j movement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not familiar with the F.A.Jones movement, but I think we are saying the same thing. Yes, you would need to fix/glue the center & top 2 subdial hands, but, still, the problem is locating a movement that fits the dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
