Haig Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 Hi everyone, I came across this site while looking for a way to repair a watch crown, stem & tube on an old Daytona replica I acquired as a gift around 1997. The crown had stripped, but it's a nice watch. Anyway, this forum was super helpful in making that repair and of course I got hooked in. The dial layout isn't even close to a genuine. I was curious if anyone recognizes what it might be or where it's from? All functions work and I'm glad I was able to fix it. Thanks, Haig
kakashi239 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 anyone? Bueller? Looks to be a rep Zenith Daytona 16520. Without knowing subdial function, I can only take blind swings at the movement. Probably a 7750 clone at best? Not really sure what movements were hot on the market in 1997. That's the best I've got.
Legend Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 A7750 sec@9. Message crafted while riding a leathery juvenile T-Rex and charging toward the horizon.
Haig Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks Guys. I believe "7750" was printed somewhere on the movement, at least I used a 7750 stem for the replacement, which worked. I don't know if it was an asian mov't or otherwise. I was just curious because overall it's a very nice watch, all chrono functions work (sec@9) but why go through all that trouble just to have the slightly wider subdial placement? Thanks again to the forum for having the info on the crown/tube replacement. Other than the stripped crown, it's worked great since day one. Once I get some time, I'll post pictures of other watches, gen and reps. Thanks!
