thogaa Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Warning: Noob content ahead: I'm curious to know why aren't they using seagull movement for a proper vintage daytona? Seems like the subdial spacing is allright? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item5891494be2 And another mystery to me: Why won't they make a proper vintage daytona out of the latest Cartel 6263 - seems to me they need to make the buttom subdial closer to center - it's faux anyway so why is it placed too damn low?

lhooq Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Check out ChiMan12's thread to see what's involved in getting a gen-spec dial to fit a Sea-Gull-powered Daytona rep. The spacing of all three subdials is correct after modding. However, the ST-19 is a bigger movement than the Valjoux 72, and consequently won't fit in a gen-spec Daytona case. The Valjoux 7736 is another movement with correct subdial spacing, but too big to fit. thogaa: Sea-Gull ST-19 = Venus 175 = "Lemania"* *No relation to any actual Lemania.

automatico Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Six or seven years ago there were 6263 etc everywhere with ST19 that looked pretty good...subdial spacing looked close etc BUT the cases/dials were too big and they had 20mm bracelets. They looked good in pictures though. I do not know if they are still for sale or not but watch out if you want the correct size case, bracelet etc. They were about the same overall size as an Alpha.

Ephry73 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I actually have one of those aftermarket cases with the mineral/sapphire crystal instead of plexy, etc.. as a spare. Pretty decent and for the money, you cannot beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
