daytona01 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 I know we have this kind of topic every single month but How long its been ?? every single one of us are craving for proper daytona. IMO, 21J movn't with a frozen stopwatch hand with a proper case thickness will satisfy a lot of daytona-sick ppl easily. Thickness is important for daytona IMO... which 7750 can never get.. Factories are producing hundreds of... no, thousands of accurate PAMs and why not rolex If they produce, I would buy both white and black and this... lol all at once no jk
giobo Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 Most Rolex reps from the cartel are crap compared to pams... Need to take a super base like TW or WM9 and mode it to get something great..By this time the ammount spent will be like $$$$$$
kbh Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 So you expect the Chinese movement companies to engineer and build a hugely expensive brand new chrono movement just you you can get a replica Daytona with the proper sub dial spacings? I somehow don't see that happening but we can all hold onto the dream.

I somehow don't see that happening but we can all hold onto the dream. Am I only one who wants proper daytona?? I don't think so. well, I don't see it happening either sighh but who knows? Continuous demands might change their mind?? lol I guess demanding is better than giving up hope ...
grifter Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 I'm with you man, I hope the factories will start putting out better rollies. I'd love a Daytona with the proper case thickness. Imagine an oob rollie that was as good as the new Pams coming out. No mods needed. Superlumed. Jeeez..
daytona01 Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Posted December 16, 2011 How did ppl get factories to produce those nice pams?? Many ppl demand nice pams, and I guess many demand rollies too.
sneed12 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 IMO, 21J movn't with a frozen stopwatch hand with a proper case thickness will satisfy a lot of daytona-sick ppl easily. This came out a couple of months ago. I know T4D was selling them.

marcoxxx1984 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 King said me that 2012 will be the year of a 1:1 Daytona 116520... Who knows...
Eiderdaus Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 This came out a couple of months ago. I know T4D was selling them. Sneed i don´t think the case thickness was correct.
kbh Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 How did ppl get factories to produce those nice pams?? Many ppl demand nice pams, and I guess many demand rollies too. It's because those gen Pams have standard ETA movements in most of them. Making the watch is easy. Fitting in a proper movement is the difficult part. And, since Rolex uses proprietary movements, it's not so simple to replicate them 1:1. But, there are lots of excellent Rolex reps, such as the DJ and Explorer models to name a couple.
m5smg2 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 We've all been dreaming about this 116520 for years. The dedicated movement with secs @ 6 has always been the obstacle. But I have often wondered if such an Asian movement, if ever made, would also work on the 40mm AP royal oak chrono, and even some of the JLC chronos with secs @ 6. Maybe then it would justify development. Aside from the everyone's grail Daytona, I'd love to finally see AP and Jaeger Le Coultre chrone reps too..
daytona01 Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Posted December 16, 2011 King said me that 2012 will be the year of a 1:1 Daytona 116520... Who knows... If that true, 2012 will be the most exciting year of rep (at least for me) Imagine how many ppl will buy if proper one comes out
mikellem Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 I love Daytona's also.. I think it's also a matter of dollars and sense. Millions of Rolex's get sold the internet accurate or not. Like others have said....Pams take a standard movement and IMO, The rep factories may not feel the investment will pay off... They usually try to make what sells, they do make mistakes though... Hopefully Connie was right and maybe we will see a nicer Daytona in the year coming... MM
OceanView Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 I'd buy a Daytona if they could make it closer to Gen. The movement is always gonna be the factor in the final product.
thogaa Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 I'd accept the non working chrono - but why don't the make a secs@9 daytona. Shouldn't that be fairly easy?
Watchmeister Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 I'd accept the non working chrono - but why don't the make a secs@9 daytona. Shouldn't that be fairly easy? The El Primero movement in the seconds at 9 is every bit as complex as Rolex's second at six. Both require building a new movement from the ground up (if you want working chrono, proper case thickness and pusher and crown placement).
daytona01 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Posted December 17, 2011 I prefer non working chrono... It can have thinner profile wit sec @6... having 7750 sec @9 is good option but visually its a rep...
thogaa Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 Who uses their chronos anyway? And especially the screw type on dayt. They are useless from birth
OceanView Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 Thinner case with correct bezel angle and a reliable movement and its golden.
southcoast68 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 The El Primero movement in the seconds at 9 is every bit as complex as Rolex's second at six. Both require building a new movement from the ground up (if you want working chrono, proper case thickness and pusher and crown placement). They already have a 7750 seconds at 9 with closer sub-dial spacing that they use on the Omega PO chrono and the Zenith Defy chrono (Joshua sells them both) which should also yeild a better looking seconds at 9 Daytona. It would not solve the case being too thick, but it would be more reliable than that seconds at 6 hot mess they have been pushing for years now. Still, we all dream on. Cheers
thogaa Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 Wouldn't removing the rotor on a 7750 make it thinner?
marcoxxx1984 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 PWC on repgeek has some daytona 21j with running sec@6 and frozen center hand It's slim but the sapphire is a give away... It's flat as the bezel angle... I cannot live with it
