The Daytona has an in-house movement that has a 72 hour power reserve. That's almost like saying the 930 puts down 100 HP on .9 bar boost.
Sorry, you are incorrect. You may disagree on religous grounds, or because it doesnt gel with your beliefs about Rolex but you cannot disagree with what Odets found and documented in his dissection of the Explorer 1 without refuting what Odets found. Go and read this dcoument on TZ and look at the photographs for yourself.

Its pretty funny that Dr. Odets rather scholarly review (he is something of a subject matter expert, btw) is provoking discussion on Porsche board four or five years on.

BTW, the Rolex Daytona originally used Zenith's highly regarded 36,600bph chrono movement because Rolex had no such chono ebauche. Those watches are highly sought after.
