Are the seconds hands (6pm positon) on the new daytona jerky?

Are the daytona seconds hands that run at 6:00 jerky due to the extra gears?

Edited

I better clarify, I mena with all the improvments in the asian 7750, have they improved the gear train that relocates the seconds as well ....since The Zigmeister last posted his review?

The initial first version was (Asian and Swiss). The newest version with the 28.8bph Asian 7750 runs much smoother, at least in my experience.

Thanks, I wasn't sure how up to date some of the FAQ's were on this subject.

again.....Thanks for the clarification.

You'll want the newer version anyways.... Better dial, smoother movement...

New-

Old-

The older case had a better rehaut, however but the CG's are yuck...

The older case had a better rehaut..

That's the price paid for the movement getting thicker, thanks to the modules that shift the dials.

So that means the new movements, 2005 models, are reliable now - but the watch is thicker than it should be. Has anyone posted a review of one of the latest models and who they got it from?
