Looking for a bit of help please re my used "bitza" Daytona, which is still running fine and I am still happy with it at the price I paid
I have read and looked at the excellent article by @dogwood , including studying his pictures at the bottom of post #1 here :-
I am now reasonably certain that this is a clone 7750, please jump on me to correct me if wrong.
What else I can tell you that is relevant:-
IMHO it is a "newer" A7750 as it is running at 28800 Beat.
Sub Dials are slightly higher than 3 & 6 markers on the watches Dial.
It runs Sec @ 6
Chrono is fully functional.
I was told it was a Dandong Movement.
The reason I am needing to know exactly which clone movement is I would like to do a hand swap via a UK Watchmaker and I understand that the Sub hands and the Centre Chrono Sec hands are different sizes on some 7750's.
So I don't want to waste the UK Watchmakers time nor my own, by supplying the wrong hands. I have alredy bought a set of regular Daytona Hands from Ali, but now I'm not certain if this set is correct spindle sizes. It is mainly the centre (chrono) second hand that I am wanting to change.
I am unable to find the "less popular" sized (smaller spindle) hand set, so if anyone knows a source I would also be grateful for that info.
If ya's have got this far, thank you for reading and any help will be gratefully received.
