I have bought this rollie and it seems that they are problematics !
Received this morning from Narikaa.
What are exactly their problems ?
I just hope I have received the exception that will break the rule ;)
A pix of it(sorry for bad quality, my camera doesn't do it very well)

This seems to have asian with faux chrono. Should be OK if it runs the first day.

if it is a asian 7750 seconds at 6 the movement will die from the strain of the gears. did you start the chronos running or is it like that all the time?

Asian 21J with faux chronos from narikaa !
It's strange, the small hand of the "chrono" dial at 6 follows the second hand !?
Is it normal ?

Yes, it's normal for many 21J Daytonas.

I have the same watch, bought locally here in Brasil.

I think is a good and reliable movement, and very cheap too.

Mine is a TT with a black and gold dial, I've payed US$ 60.00.

Very nice, it is my first daytona, now I`ll look for a vintage, with 7750 and chrono @ 9.

Wear it well, nice watch.

Thanks Max ;)
So for my first daytona, the movement is not so bad as I understand !
I have paid a bit more to have it (to buy cheap from china=hammer on the watch by customs here in EU)

Mine is my first Daytona too.

I have a lot of Rolexes, DJ, DD, Explorer I, subs, Milgaus, TOG. But never bought a Daytona.

Yesterday, me and Spirit went to a local place that sells reps (thank god we still have these places here), I was convinced to buy a Daytona, and as my first Daytona I didn't mind to buy a cheap one.

I'd prefer a SS one, but the shop didn't have any in a good looking, so I bought the TT, a lot of blink to me, but I'll try to use it tomorrow.

I think is a very good looking rep with reliable movement.

The Daytona is growing on me, and if I like it a lot, I'll buy another Asian 21J, SS, and then a vintage with secs @ 9.

Then I ask the members, where I can find the spinmaster`s tread to see his Daytona?

Yep it's so nice watches ;)
I have only two Rolex and I like them (The other one is a YM silver dial)!
Probably my next one will be the Milgaus in white dial !
