I have a JF Daytona with a 21J in it that is kinda' wonky - stops, starts, keeps irregular time. Its not worthwhile servicing it and I'd like to have it swapped out. Being a newb its hard to find someone who will do it much less determining the appropriate swappable movement. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm listening. Thanks for any feedback.
It’s a DG3836, new ones go for around $40.
How is it that you can make that determination? I ask not questioning your veracity, only that I've had some folks say its a 4130, some say a 7750. If it IS a 3836 I'd buy a new movement swap it out but finding some one to do that is a challenge. Thanks for the info. And additional insight you may have would be appreciated.
Aha. Yes, I believe you are correct as the subdials were/are non-functional. The pushers and sweep second hand are functional as the 2 o'clock pusher stops/starts it and the 4 o'clock subdial resets it. Sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology but that is the best way I can describe it. I don't have the ability to post pics here. If you PM me with your hotmail/gmail I can send some. Thanks.
You could just get a Clickpix account and upload pictures here.PM me your email and I can send some movement pics.
