Review of the New 29j Daytona Movement


Recommended Posts

Hi Francisco,

great review especially with detail and meticulous care taken.

I am thinking about getting a Vintage daytona rep, does this use the same problematic movement as the modern daytona rep?

If the vintage daytona rep uses a different movement, then does that movement have a long life ?

Thanks

Only Daytonas with runing seconds at 9 are reliable.

No, and this movement isn't new. Francisco wrote this review in 2009.

 

Francisco was pretty clear in the OP, which you must have missed.

 

 

CONCLUSIONS.

There are no more jewels in this mechanism.
The improvement consists mainly in employing skeleton gears to reduce the rotating contact surface.
The transfer for minutes is better designed that the seconds transfer. The seconds are always running and the design is still very problematic.
Although there are improvements… definitively this is not a long life mechanism.
