rolojack Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 This morning I took the descision to part with my 116520, and once again that bloody watch bewitched me !!! While I was taking my photos to make the sales post, there it goes : I fall in love again when I thought I was finally over that one.... Well, even if there are some small flaws we all know about, the strong points of those very early reps are so STRONG that you can only forgive and forget the tiny mistakes the maker has done. I for one never had issues with the sec at 6 movement in 4 years, so I can only assume there was some good series and some bad ones. I picked that piece directly in GZ, and I am still amazed by the quality when I look at it today !!! It's really something they were able to make such a great and sharp replica with such a small price tag. Enjoy the pics !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 As has been described in other threads, the 1st series of secs @ 6-powered Daytonas appear to be much heartier than later series (my 6-or-7-year old is still going strong). Glad to see the Daytona's magic is still working wonders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I hear their is a dealer who offers the zenith model? the seconds at 9...is that going to be pretty reliable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolojack Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I've never seen an accurate sec @ 9 ready to wear rep. Its always a mix up of the 16520 and the 116520 with plenty of mistakes..... Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only great sec @ 9 are fitted with the gen zenith movt and a gen dial, making them part of the family of the most expensive reps!!!!! In my opinion, the early sec @ 6 are the most accurate budget modern Daytos ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolojack Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm afraid you'll have to buy a complete rep watch and vamp it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolojack Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks my friend !!! Since the more recent reps are not as sharp, I can only assume the factory who did this early series disapeared.... Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolojack Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I got lost of PMs asking me if I would reconsider selling it.... Well : I finally sold it now. So no need to ask anymore. Thanks for your interest all !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
