watchaddict Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Hey Guys, I just picked up this old school Daytona sec@6 from its original owner. This is the original sec@6 movement that actually has a good track record It is about 5 years old and has never skipped a beat! Zigmeister said the movement is solid. The watch was recently serviced, relumed, and a new crystal added by Zig. I was told it is supposed to have a swiss 7750 but this is not confirmed. What do you think?
freddy333 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Looks good, but I am not certain you have the 1st gen secs @ 6 7750. These usually came only with the low profile cases, which can be identified by the thickened area of the case just below the crown, which your watch lacks (I removed this material on mine). Now reshape the crown guards, install a gen crown & keep an eye peeled for a gen bezel & you should be all set
Reginald37 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 Freddy, good to here that. I'm doing exactly that to a black dial now. Gen crown and tube, PBdad going to do the CGs and have the movement serviced. How often, and where, do you see a bezel pop up??
freddy333 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 How often, and where, do you see a bezel pop up?? ebay, but rarely. I have seen 3 different styles of cases (there may be more now) for 1165xx Daytona reps & the dimensions of each varies slightly. Due to this variability, you have to be careful buying gen case parts for them. The only way to know if a gen part will fit your particular case is to try it. If you search out my 'Perfect Daytona' thread, I posted some details that may help.
Reginald37 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 Found it. I'll get this one out to PB when my McQueen arrives from Donerix. Wait till you see that puppy...
AsiadeCuba Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 this would be a killer if it truly had a swiss 7750
watchaddict Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Posted December 1, 2011 this would be a killer if it truly had a swiss 7750 Apparently zig worked on it so he may know. If anyone has his contact info i can verify...btw it is for sale now as I have my eye on that franken in the for sale thread
Reginald37 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 This is now owned by moi truely and when I send it out to get the gen crown and tube installed and CGs done we will know.
watchaddict Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Posted December 1, 2011 This is now owned by moi truely and when I send it out to get the gen crown and tube installed and CGs done we will know. I should send it straight to pb haha...he has a couple of my babies with him right now
