Mxibro Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hi, ive been wanting to pull the trigger on a Daytona but keep reading various issues within the movement, isit the best option to just stay away from them completely? or test my luck and buy one?

panerai153 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Depends on which you buy. thee vintage models which use a bicompax Seagull movement are very sturdy, as are most of the 7750 models(vintage) On the other hand, the new sec@6 A7750's are problematic. You may get a good one that lasts for a long time, you may get one that lasts for a week and dies. Another problem, the modified A7750 movement in these watches are hard t work on, parts are not available and very few people will work on them. I believe that I would buy something less problematic until you get more knowledgeable, establish some contacts and then decide if you want to buy a watch that is a potential problem.

By-Tor Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 You can buy those secs at '6 Daytonas. They might last for a year or two... or maybe even longer. When it's just a few hundred bucks it's easier to simply throw it away when it breaks and buy another. Hey... I just described perfectly what modern electronics is these days. PS: I wrote this review eight years ago. And I believe nothing has changed. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/47319-review-of-rolex-daytona-seconds-at-6/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
