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

To my untrained eye, some of the Clean components look better than the Rolex ones.

Thank you for taking the time to photograph all these parts!

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.
