Just to make this lighter with an OT: What guys do you have all with the double/twins letters? Toro = Italian word for "bull" ToRRo doesn't exist at all. Like with my name: Alessandro (similar to English Alexander, isn't it?). My foreign colleagues do mess it up with Allesandro, Allessandro, Alesandro and all sort of [censored] :-D :-D

I have asked Torro to reply on one of Kargo's threads so we get both sides before passing judgement. Ken

When I started training in Horology 18 months ago this was the movement I aspired to conquer. The chronograph movement is considered a year 3 topic at my training centre and I am half way through year 2, so I am a bit ahead I have battled through the manual wind movements from pocket watch size down to ladies size, day/date complications including instant change movements. Then it was on to the automatics, Seiko's 7--- series, ETA's 28-- series and some other more obscure manufacturers. Quartz servicing was blown away rather quickly Along the way I have also learn't theory & history of the various developments (amazing how old some features are!) Correct cleaning and lubrication and more recently regulation. How to diagnose problems and how to go about rectifying them. We are just starting lathe work, screw making and polishing. This is real good work. Anyway, I thought I was ready for the 7750 and using the excellent Swisslab ETA flash animation I got to work. I bought a ETA 7750 of a member here some time ago that was described as "serviced within the last year" but it had a very low amplitude on arrival ~190-200 and wouldn't run for more than a minute or two. Time to go to work, I won't bore you with what has been written about and photographed many times before, but it all when absolutely great This was after it had been cleaned and the gear train was installed and put on the timer. I nice amplitude of 300+ was recorded. Installation and lubrication of the chronograph cam. Chronograph module almost complete, very precise lubrication is required on these parts, I think I done well for my first effort. The crooked reversing wheel stays like that until you put the bridge on as there is a click spring that rests against it. Once you locate the chrono bridge there is a viewing hole where you release pressure from the spring as the wheel pinion is located in its hole That's the hard bit done! Fast forward and the dial side with additional chrono functions, keyless, motion works and date is complete. Before regulation it had a 0.9 beat error and was running ~45 seconds slow with a 300+ amplitude. This was after regulation, a success I believe

I'm newbe I don't know how to pm someone please help also what does this cost to build this very interested
