I have been trying to pick out which Daytona is the best I can get that is around the $300 range.

What do you guys think?

ROLEX-DAYTONA-ROLEX-253
ASSIAN 7750 MOVEMENT SECOND RUNNING AT 6
CLOCK SAPPHIRE A++STEEL CASE

ROLEX-DATONA-ROLEX-160
ROLEX DayTona : ORIGINAL Movement

ROLEX-DAYTONA-ROLEX-252
ASIAN 7750 MOVEMENT SECOND RUNNING AT 6
CLOCK SAPPHIRE A++STEEL CASE

Unless you guys have any other dealers I can get working chronos.

Angel & Jay have some on their silix-prime site that have working chronos

http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1297

http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1347

You can email them and ask about any of the others they have too. They are very honest about their products, and they will check the watch out for you before they send it, especially if you specifically ask them to.

Luckyyy also has one listed in his dealer section that looks really good.

$300 isn't high-end.

However, are you after seconds-at-six, seconds-at-nine or vintage?

It is if you live in NYC and are a regular Canal St. shopper :shock:

Yeah, I'm looking at the latest model running at 6 and working chronos.

I have 3 of them already for sale which have the same weight and detail but don't have the working chronos and I decided I want to buy a better quality version that has the chronos working like the real one.

The best one that I've seen is from josh and its $888.00. Too much for me but would like to get one below 300.00.

Thanks for your advice and Canal St versions are really bad. They are so darn cheap.

High end = Swiss 7750 modified movement (sec at 6) between $700-$900
Higher end than Canal Steet = Asian 7750 modified movement (sec at 6) around $300.

Best bet from a reliability standpoint is Swiss 7750 w sec at 9....though beware the dial spacing.

Please read EL's notes on proper operations of chronograph reps with any purchase.

The "Best Daytona" is one of those "Best Sub" issues to the Nth degree due to the complexity of the movement. Agree.....Disagree?

That link didn't work. Anyway, how do you like the Daytona that you got from KING? Do the chronos function?

Thanks for the feedback.
