Also what do you guys think about the quality of this watch? Also Im looking at Dealer is excellent. Suggest you look at some of the reviews in the dealer review section.
supermanx Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Josh is excelllent and those two watches are great, but make sure you know what your getting into with the daytona seconds at 6. MANY MANY people have had problems with me, including myself (have the same black dial). Sent mine of to The Zigmeister for service. I just bought that bentley motors this weekend, but missed the post man today so I have to wait till tomorrow.
section8 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 be warned of the possible reliability problems with that Daytona. It has extra gears added to the base movement so that the seconds run at 6 - the added load decreases the life of the movement quite a bit. Dealer is excellent Before you pull the trigger maybe spend a little more time looking around and researching.

The Orginal has around the face the word Rolex multiple times and it is inset in the metal. On the Rep it is printed on w/ black ink. Am I wrong or is it just the lighting of the pic I posted?

It's engraved, and filled in black (At least on mine).
bklm1234 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 it's a very thick watch with the extra gears (11 I think). it's a dilemma whether to buy this model or not. Visually it's very good except for the thickness. Mechanically it's a hit or miss. It's a known fact the movement has problems but many said theirs are holding up fine. If the thickness was more correct, I'd jump. How can you not own a daytona rep if you're a rolex fan? Wearing it is a challenge depending on your mind set. It's assumed fake until provided gen for daytona since it's so expensive. -bm
rdorman Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Just so happens that I have both of those watches. The Daytona from Josh, serviced by The Zigmeister. Keeps near perfect time, runs and functions perfectly. I have had it for about 10 months now. The case is only 1.5mm thicker then gen if memory serves. The Bentley I bought used so I don't know who it came from. Aside from the AR and slightly smaller dial then gen it also is a very nice piece. Both with the new asian 7750. The Bentley has not been served and isn't as accurate from a time keeping standpoint but still a very nice watch. I don't know if Josh offers the pre-service on the 7750 but if he does it is a cheaper alternative. Or you can just wear it and when it dies, service/replace the movement. A swiss 7753 movement will run you $500 for the movement alone though... and then it will still need to be serviced!

I can handle the movement not too reliable. I guess I'm picking one up soon. -bm Edited January 24, 2007 by bklm1234

I think you have about the same chance of winning the lottery as running into somone that could out you with that watch on a specific reason. As for the movement, mine has been serviced by The Zigmeister as well... Which makes this an expensive rep out of the box, but it would stop hourly before service.
diamondg Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 Has this problem been corrected? I wish to purchase a RLDS10010, but want to avoid mechanical problems. Have the upgrades fixed the former problems with these watches with seconds at six?
