Daytona help

[waddy123]

Hi

Im looking a buying a Daytona. So far I have found this one. I know its not on the TD list, but my dad has bought from them and he is happy with what he got.

But I have also read that the crono can be problematic on Daytona's would this be a problem on this watch? Or would you guys advise just giving this a miss altogether or recomend somewere better to buy from.

Thanks for the help.

I've had to remove the link because I've just joined. The watch is a black faced Datona with a learher strap.

You're going to have to narrow it down a lot to get any help. What's the model number of the Daytona for starters, since you can't post a link?

 

Also, as a general rule of thumb, no one is going to recommend you buy anything from someone that isn't on the trusted dealers list. Do so at your own peril.

 

There are hundreds of threads about both the modern and vintage Daytonas. Reading through those will tell you what your options look like and what the pitfalls are (like the seconds at six movement problem in the modern Daytona reps that are based on the 7750).

Rol-2123 would that be the model number? And its a 7750 movement.

I'm just looking through old threads now.

Thanks

Rol-2123 is not a Rolex model number, so it's not much help.

 

Also, the 7750 could have been used in either the modern, or vintage Daytona. It's bad in the modern Daytona due to the issues with the seconds at 6. Not bad in the vintage Daytona.

Ditto.
