Not so fast, my little timekeeping Grasshopper. The watch is fine, it is your winder that died

(Sorry for poor picture quality - this is an enlargement from another picture)

After 40 turns of the stem (by hand), the Daytona springs to life & the beat goes on

[rckh]

It gone.........Rest In Peace

Please stop posting pictures of white-dial working Daytonas. They make me cry.

yes freddy but ... does it work on your wrist??? my 116520 works when i wind it but then it dies when its on my wrist ... oh well it makes a nice desk clock.

[freddy333]

I do not consider a watch to be working unless it keeps proper time on my wrist. And, yes, the watch is working.

The winder, on the other hand (no pun intended), although I have not tested it on my wrist, is definitely not working.

Sounds like the balance jewel cap is loose.

Well my Palp modded 116520 is still working beautifully and for that matter so is my 6263 but then again I would expect no less as it is from Ubi.

I hear these seconds @ 6 watches are timebombs, but my Cosmograph is working like a peach, or a gem. Or well. It's working well.

[Watchmeister]

In truth we are all waiting for the inevitable death. All you can do is service and pray.
