the collector Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) a bit too pricey in my opinion... ive seen some of these sell for less... The seller had it on auction for a while, with only one day left the price was at 100USD + thats when the auction ended and the item was relisted as buy-it-now...

Watchmeister Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I am sticking with my DW with mystery movement. That mystery movement (pause to knock on wood) is losing well under a minute a week. Better than the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than the gen. my 726 is not losing any minute..... i can't believe that a china mystery movement would be consider better than a val.72.....

Guest avitt Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I am sticking with my DW with mystery movement. That mystery movement (pause to knock on wood) is losing well under a minute a week. Better than the gen. It's a decent movement, if you are willing to forego the chronograph function of your Daytona. They keep time very accurately...but the chono portion is abysmal. And, the movement cannot be maintained, as parts aren't commonly available. (I rebuilt one myself, and it took parts from 3 separate movements to build one good one). That's why you hear all the chatter on the boards from people building VJ72 and VJ23 frankens...there is no suitable alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I use esnipe. It's not free, but when bidding on high priced items, it will easily pay for itself several times over on your first auction win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
