SSTEEL Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Nice looking Daytona, but that Coronet on the crystal is HUGE! Do you plan on getting the extra jewels fitted to help the sec@6 7750 last longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dowhile Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Sorry i'm a newbie what are the extra jewels? This is the 29J Edited May 31, 2013 by dowhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Don't believe the misrepresentation of this supposed new 29J version, take with bucket of salt. Extra jewels being added to the sec@6 version 7750 removes the friction of the extra gearing added for the sec@6. Without the extra jewels added, you can try the graphite paste fix, or be very careful with your watches with this configuration, as its a well documented issue. Search for the 7750 Guide on looking after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't necessarily believe that either... the modder who does this work treats it as super secretive, refuses to show pics of the process, and refuses to do side-by-side tests to prove that it does anything. Without the extra jewels added, you can try the graphite paste fix, or be very careful with your watches with this configuration, as its a well documented issue. Search for the 7750 Guide on looking after it. Out of a dozen or so sec@6 7750s I've had, only one has given me trouble... yes they can be problematic but don't borrow trouble. @ the OP: nice watch. Wish I'd known for sure this case was still available, I just wasted money taking a chance on an older Daytona case on the off chance that it had better construction than this one!
