BigBuys Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 You have already been told by a very competent moderator that this movement is a ticking timebomb that eventually provides epic failure resulting in a shiny door stop. How many times are we going to have to tell you this? Now, source a Daytona with seconds at nine and be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 AFAIK the running seconds on 6 is a ticking time bomb. Some have had luck with treating the part(s) with graphite something. Eh, sorry I could be all wrong here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 You can improve the problem by highly polishing the 6 oclock gear and the metal surface it slides over - that is the source of the problem. The conversion to move the seconds to the 6 o clock position was done on the cheap, they didn't bother to use a jewel bearing, it's metal rubbing over metal. Polish the surfaces right up, and recess as much of the gears surface as possible in a lathe and it will make it as good as it can get. You will need to give the whole movement a good service as well to make sure it's all working as efficiently as it can be. Alternatively I suppose you could get someone to modify the movement and put a jewel where they should have put one in the first place, but you'll be talking many hundreds of $ to do that.
