It would be interesting to know the full back- story, how and where he bought it, whether it worked OK initially, and how much he paid. Only way forward for this watch (apart from binning it) is to sort the movement out and get it running properly. If it was a genuine Valjoux movement that would be more feasible, but my limited experience of trying to sort out a Chinese clone was enough to put me off ever touching one again, you can’t get parts so you have to rely on genuine Valjoux parts fitting......some do some don’t!
There’s also a small issue of finding someone to work on it, as I stated earlier any half- decent repairer won’t be interested. If this got fixed it could end up being sold to the next mug, that’s enough to put me off touching it.
If you must have a Daytona, buy a real one. If you decide to buy a fake buy a good one.......not convinced such a thing exists!
Well, currently in the Caribbean and I held a couple of very convincing ones th other day in St Lucia - $250 - $1000.Originally Posted by walkerwek1958

Chris, I bow to your judgement........if you say they looked good I’m inclined to agree! The ones I’ve seen have always been fairly poor.
