Daytona Seconds@9.

[cus+0m]

hey guys, i decided to take a leap of faith to order a black seconds@9 or zenith daytona. pretty much as a "get-to-know" the daytona as i'm considering going down the path of building one of those frankens daytonas.

like Daytona1984's build: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.ph...ranken+daytona

been doing a lil research the past couple of days, &have gotten the following conclusion in regards to the REPs:-

1) much more reliable then the seconds@6, due to the lack of extra gears.

2) mainly inaccurate as the sub-dial spacings are further apart as compared to the GENs, even tho there have been reported inconsistencies with the GENs in terms of sub-dial spacing but not to the extend of the REPs.

3) also inaccurate due to the presence of rehaut engravings or the ROLEXROLEX engravings on the metal just above the dial like most of the newer rolex models. but being that these zenith daytonas are pre-2000 models, the rehaut engravings should not be there. that being said, i have come across afew which dont have the engravings&i'm not taking about those who built the franken versions with phong cases, gen parts&all the fun stuff. those i saw were dealer models BUT they could very have been sanded out after being purchase. - i stand corrected tho, as i'm not completely sure either.

anything else i missed out.?

also, just like to see who else has them&how's your experience with them so far.

please feel free to post comments&pictures if any. i will do a short review once i've received the watch.

cheers, all!
