t0t0_b0y Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Hello there, I've just received my Daytona secs @ 6 from one of the dealers on this forum and I'm so happy upon receiving it.. However, over the past few days, I noticed that the seconds hand is running a bit funny.. It appears that the seconds hand does not sweep throughout it's course, instead on few positions, it looked like it was "jumping". Could it be a bad movement..?? :( What are other possible explanations..?? I'm sorry if my description is rather confusing..

I'm sorry if my description is rather confusing.. mine does that too.. i think u should just send it out and get a graphite treatment before its too late
Noel Fleischer Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 sorry to say that watch, although nice looking, has about the worst mechanical track record guys. check around you'll see alot of threads about the notorious Daytona rep. good luck.
t0t0_b0y Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Posted June 13, 2009 mine does that too.. i think u should just send it out and get a graphite treatment before its too late Thanks for the info.. Any suggestions where can I send it out to? I live in Australia, are there anyone I can reach out for to get the graphite treatment?
arminvanbuuren Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 im not sure who does it in australia.. but try ajoesmith.. he might be able to do it.. im not sure though.. u can ask him
cornerstone Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 > Daytona secs @ 6 is running funny.. I'm going to be honest....this probably isn't going to help much. But nevertheless, if it's running funny....
nikki6 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Damnit CS you just ruined my running funny joke by getting there first!! *shakes fist*

automatico Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 It appears that the seconds hand does not sweep throughout it's course, instead on few positions, it looked like it was "jumping". What are other possible explanations..?? If it is keeping time, I would let it go for now. The jumpy second hand is probably just slack in the wheels that transfer motion to the second hand. Wait until it stops keeping time before you have it worked on.
nikki6 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Nope, not as above, it's a well known problem with this model. Graphite treatment works wonders if applied. Take it to a rep friendly WS and ask him what he thinks, but the graphite is the main cure on here it seems. Sixx
freddy333 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 I think Nikki has it half-right - the twitchy running seconds hand IS a well-known problem with all 7750-powered secs at 6 Daytonas. It occurs because of the slop (imprecise machining) within the relocation gearing. Short of remanufacturing the movement, I am not aware of a remedy. As the problem is inherent to the design, graphite powder will not effect it.
