SuperDanX Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Sorry for the “what’s the best Daytona?” Question but I only really know about four digit daytonas and friend wants a good rep of the 116520 but I’m not sure where to point him? Any advice would be appreciated . Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Any of the trusted dealers can help. Search the forum for their sections and perhaps email them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, what I wanted to know was which factory makes the most visually accurate 116520? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Something to think about... Since the genuine 116520 was made from about 2000 to 2016 there may still be quite a few replicas in the pipeline with movements that are not reliable. Word is the 4130 clone is usually Ok but it was not being made when many 116520 replicas were produced. I have a couple 116520 with the seconds at six 7750 clone and they are basically junk imho. Never had the 'New Improved Version' of the 7750 clone because the first models cured me for good so maybe a member who knows about them will chime in. Never had a 4130 clone either. Btw...I am very evasive when asked to recommend a watch (especially a replica) to anyone because of the chance they can have trouble with it. I simply will not do it. I might give them the name of a trusted dealer or two and a couple replica forum addresses so they can bone up on them but that's it, they are on their own. Why? Because I can work on watches (my watches) and if I steer anyone toward a watch and it has problems...guess who they come to? Example of a 1165xx 7750 sec@six grenade/clone...the 'New Improved Version'... https://www.pfclones.com/rlds00201-daytona-116520-ss-cer-ss-white-a-7750-secat6-28800.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDanX Posted September 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 I managed to get it sorted in the end, I can’t comment on 7750 reliability issues, but if you are after a 116520 the best thing to do (without building a franken) is to buy an ARF and a noob then mix and and match the best parts.
