21J movement

[daytona01]

I've seen some cheap 21J daytona with faux 3,9 and second hands @6 and middle.

Meaning big second hand @ middle and sub hand @ 6 move together at the same time.

Is it possible to kill big hand @ middle and leave second @6 to make it look like real??

Probably...

I have converted a few of these by freezing the subdials at 3 and 9 along with the center sweep hand. This will only work with Miyota clone movements...NN 38 and DG 2800 base. I wrote about this operation twice in the past year or two if you can find it in the rolex section.

Fyi...the one I wear now and then still runs and has caused no trouble at all. I guess it has a total of 60 or 80 days running since I finished it.

I have seen quartz Daytonas and they might not be too bad as the seconds at 6 is small and does draw much attention when it jumps every second. Watcheden has them.

Yeah, that plus the fact they are fakes. Ha!
