Hello all
I look for the pusher (Mark 2 "P301") the one at "4 oçlock" position. Do you know of any that will fit on my genuine Daytona 6265? I see some are available on eBay etc...but they cost the shirt off your back...+ some more!
I need to also du general servi ce and change the mainspring...

Advice?

Have you tried calling RSC? They possibly can sending the watch to Switzerland. I done it before with a 5517

I bought a great watch that was built by oldwatchguy I love it!! I need to service the movement since it is running faster than it should and the chrono hand sets before it should.

Do you know a good watch technician in Italy that could help me with the matter?

Thanks

What of you mean the chrono hands sets before it should?

 

[paolomartello]

I mean, the chrono hand stops between 10 and 11 o’clock, but Iqas aware of it when I purchased the watch, I would like just to fix the problem and the mechanism

I though !ST1901 had subdials only @3:00 and @6:00 ... does it mean the subdial @6:00 is freezed ?
