Hi that's interesting. Is this DD4130 you are taking about in Daytona where second hand is ticks.
All watches tick..... The DD4130 is very good and ticks 4 oscillations a second (4hz) which is correct....

Only exception is Spring drive watches

So, currently the DD4130 is still the best choice of movement in a Daytona?

Depending on the Daytona you’re looking for:
  • 11-series, yes the dd4130 is the best. But the sh4130 isn’t bad. The sl4801 is ok, but only if you’re on a budget. Avoid any Daytona with a 7750.
  • 12-series, the dd4131 is excellent. The sh4131 isn’t bad and is a good choice too, just not quite as good as the dd version. Avoid the sl4801 unless you’re on a budget.

Thanks for the response and details.
I'm looking at the 126506 SS/SS with Ice Blue Dial and Brown sub-dials.
