Sporting a cool nato strap!On the lookout for correct box/accessories for this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username here Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Gen case, waouh ! How did you found a gen daytona case ?a member here . . . and it was the same price as phong cases! It's in GREAT shape- 'U' serial number. I built a few daytonas and now that I have a gen case model I think this one stays in the family.

sacsah1 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 What's a two pull system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I think he means the 4030 conversion from the Zenith column wheel design maybe? Idk That is a gorgeous watch, I've really been wanting a proper Daytona franken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username here Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 yep. often the zenith movement isn't fully converted so that the date is removed. it's a small thing, but changing this makes it even more correct. That is a gorgeous watch, I've really been wanting a proper Daytona franken . . . there's just something about a daytona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you had the 2 pull system removed then right? As the gen only has one pull?Interesting that you bring this up. Misiekped told me that the zenith movement I am using would still have the 2 pull system though the date changes on the 2nd pull, not first.

username here Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 No. The zenith originally has a 3 pull. Mike is putting these together now?Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk ok I see, then yeah I have the same 2 pull system. Mike did me a big favor and I dont want to speak for him but during my build he told me that this would be his last zenith conversion.
