freddy333 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK471 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
