Very new-guy question incoming:
Why on a "super clone" like the DD4130 does the dial still work backwards from a gen?
To move the time forward on my gen Daytona, I rotate counter-clockwise. On my Clean Daytona with the DD4130 that I got from Steve, I rotate it clockwise. For something that is 99% interchangeable parts, that seems like a big change and also one that wouldn't be too hard to fix, but I don't know what I don't know and I can't seem to find the answer by searching.
How sure are you that your gen Daytona is gen?
Both gen and Dandong and Shanghai 4130 movements operate the same way from the crown. in all cases advancing the time involves rotating the crown clockwise. If your gen Daytona requires a counter clockwise rotation of the crown to advance the hour & minute hands then your gen Daytona doesn’t have a 4130 movement in it.
If your gen daytona is from before 2000, it has a Zenith 4030 movement inside. But even on the 4030 you rotate clockwise to advance the time.
However if your “gen” Daytona actually has an eta 7750 movement inside, then that would explain why you have to rotate the crown counter clockwise to make the hands on the dial advance.
So, I return to the original question: how sure are you that your gen Daytona is gen?
