hambone Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Mahalos Lanikai. My dry cleaning lady also extends her aloha.
hiker01 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 I was planning to wear this today, but unfortunately the water got it first:
hiker01 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 From your post-impressionist period? Hehehe! Definitely! That was a fine time!
hiker01 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Same Daytona that is on the Platinum Raffle Nice piece! But, aren't you worried about the sec @6?
lanikai Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Nice piece! But, aren't you worried about the sec @6? I transplanted one dial and the A7750 from the newer daytona with more correct dial and 28.8k to the 1st generation caseset.. the more correct thinner caseset ... now this daytona and the vintage Newman Daytona .. both had issues .. the Newman (can never remember the numbers) .. was 60 min fast every 12 hours.. something was crimped in the mainspring area .. and it needed regulating badly .. I was told the lever to regulate on the A7750 is only good for 15 to 20 seconds.. yet when I played with it over the next 2 day's the movement is now running spot on with my blackberry.. with this daytona.. the movement would stop every 2 hours .. after I transplanted it.. what I found was the area next to the mainspring was too tight against the case.. conclusion would be that the defect could be poor assembly around the mainspring.. or poor quality in build around that area, it was the same problem with the Newman.. but that has been running great..(knock on wood).. it's been running fine since then..

Glad to hear that.....gud for ya brah! I always love Daytonas and I'd love to get one of those newer ones, but that Sec @6 scares the hell out of me! Hopefully they'll build a better one!
ubiquitous Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Posted July 3, 2008 Good idea, lani. I think I'll opt with a Daytona for the next few days as well Thurs: Fri: Sat:

anton Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 But back to the beater for a quiet Tuesday evening Freddy, I'm just curious...are you reading a book by Alan Flusser?
freddy333 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Freddy, I'm just curious...are you reading a book by Alan Flusser? Yup. You have a good eye. I have all of his books (for those unfamiliar, Flusser dressed the main characters in the movie 'Wall Street').
