Hi, I posted the following thread in another forum and received some replies. Just would like to have some 2nd opinion from other Daytona owners.
Thanks

"After I set the time and push back the crown to its original position, the long minute hand will move about 1-min mark. Does anyone notice the same issue with your Daytona? "

Does not happen with mine.

Is the chrono hand running when you do this?

Doesn't happen with mine, but I believe the Zenith's were known for that, they didn't have, or the clutch wasn't as good as the Rolex movement, or whatever. Is it a Zenith?

I have the Zenith model and have not had that ever happen.

tphan · 27 January 2009, 11:35 PM

nope, mine doesn't do that.

Thanks for replies so far.
For more background information - I reset the time of my M series Daytona after its power reserve gone. (I did not wear it for a week). The Chrono function was off. After I set the the time I wanted, I push back the crown to its original position. Then I noticed that the minute hand moved 1-minute (Closewise) during my pushing of the crown back to its position. I tried couple of times after that and results were same.
Any thoughts?

just tried setting time with stopwatch on and off, my minute hand doesn't move at all. My GMTII and DJ with old movements do move though.

I don't get to "fiddle" with daytonas as much as other models but on all chronos you can adjust that by opening the crown and using the pushers.
