thogaa Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I badly want a secs@6 panda dial Daytona - latest version. No jerky second hand and no need for working chronos. Who’s gonna build it? What's the remedy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 The sec@6 has always been a troublesome movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a standard, 3-hand movement with subsidiary seconds that will fit the Daytona dial/case (you will probably need a spacer ring since non-chrono movements tend to be much thinner than chronos). Once you have the dial dimensions, you just have to locate a movement that matches it (specifically, the spacing between the center cannon pinion & subsidiary seconds pinion). Cement the 2 subdial hands to the dial & you are off to the races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thogaa Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Here's a little vid of my grail 116509. Imagine what went through my mind when I first looked at that second hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Obviously, not a gen, but no one will notice the hand's slight stutter (due to imprecise machining of components, which illustrates 1 of the differences between a $300 rep & a $10k gen ) from normal viewing distances.

sneed12 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Now Why Doesn't Anybody make a decent secs@6 Tona? a) It's challenging people buy the ones they make, why build something different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks By-Tor - Seems everything really was better in the old days I can't find any later type (16520?) seconds@9 tonas at our dealers. Anyone know if those are still made? Like this one (gen) or just ss T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
