Hi, great looking watch you have! Was the price of this watch far cheaper than the dealers or pretty much on par?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'd like to know if there are some improvement for the Daytona movement, until recently they were not reliable, and creating problems after few weeks/months, because of to many gears, especially for small second at 6. Is there any Daytona owner who experience problems? I'd like to purchase a new one but i am thinking if I'll need to freeze the small second or it will work properly?

Hi guys,

Just a few questions here for those who are knowledgeable on the topic. All these different information on different threads become very confusing and I think answering these questions will be helpful for people looking for similar info.
  1. I read on a thread that there were no fully working Daytona reps yet. I am puzzled on this one since a friend bought a Noob replica recently, which has a functioning chronograph and a functioning dial at 6'. Is the former True/False?
  2. If the current reps are not fully functional, what is missing? I have looked for the info but do not seem to understand what is not working yet...
Again, the information I have found so far is contradictory and hence, confusing. My apologies if this is considered as a stupid question to which I should have found an answer already :D

Thanks for your help!

I'm no expert but lurking around has given me some knowledge.

1. There are Daytona reps on a7750 with working chrono, downside is the case is huge, a big tell for the rep. Both sec at 6 and 9 are avail, the one at 6 is risky according to some.

2. Faux chrono are currently same thickness as gen, running on 23J. Basically pushers dont work lol.

No offense, read around, plenty of info available.
