Mxibro Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Been researching for ages and cant get all the information needed, are there any Daytona;s @6Sec that are actually reliable? budget wise Im looking at spending around $300-$500 dependent on reliability and overall quality. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterego Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm no expert but seconds six could be a problem as there are few if any asian movements that will be reliable. I may be wrong and I hope, so as to have some reactions that turn this post in a prolofic thread, informationwise. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Short answer. No. Somewhat longer answer. The A7750 with seconds at six is a known problem movement. You can get lucky and have one that runs well for awhile, or it may crap out quickly. There is a 21j Asian movement model that needs the center seconds frozen which is reliable, but you lose the chronograph functions.

panerai153 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I agree with Tom, pretty risky movement, and not many watch smiths who work on reps will fool with the A7750's with sec@12 or Sec@6 . Supposedly the newer AP reps with the sec@12 are better and more reliable, but nothing has been said about a better movement for the Daytona.

Nightwatch Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Wackobirdkeeper aka WBK has the reliable quartz-version. Looks good & is thinner, chronohand sweeps, secs at six tick, but those are small. Cost just below $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
