i had that watch since it came out early this year. a very very good rep, i've tested mine and it's water resistant. mine, however, has a horrible date wheel, esp from 1 to 9.

This is either a gen or the date wheel has been replaced (which I doubt as I have not been able to find any replacement Asian 7750 datewheels on the web) as the one on the brushed bezel model as azgjav states is bloody awful.

Here is the link

7750 hand sizes...

Thanks RG, that makes things a lot clearer

Another option is to buy genuine hands from Ofrei if they're available. Genuine hands will fit swiss ETA 7750 movements if the authentic movement is 7750/1 based.

I tried looking on Ofrei, they do not have the hands for the model I need.

No they won't - there was a very recent writeup by our amster The Zigmeisterzumba - he compared hand sizes from old asian, new asian and swiss version of the 7750. Old and Swiss are interchangeable, new one is not.

Thanks for the info...

In that case does anyone know of a source for replacement 7750B1 's ?

Does anyone know if the hands from the new Asian 7750b1 28k bph will be directly tranferable across to a Swiss 7750 ? (i.e they have same diameter posts)

Yes, however the piece with the two rods can be stubborn and for me required

a push with the toothpicks from the other end, once the screws were removed,

before I was able to release it.

Well that would explain why they were so damn tight .....

I guess the moral of the story is "if in doubt, ask" and if you don't get an answer then you're probably asking the wrong question

This has been the subject of a previous discussion... but I can't remember which forum it was on. Search, search, search.

As far as I can remember, you have to remove two screw caps (on each side) in order to remove one pin.

But I could be wrong...

Inspect the bracelet carefully. Form follows function.

On this bracelet all but two of the pins have screws only at one end (there are two connecting the bracelet to the clasp that look like they have two screwed ends, but they were so tight I couldn't make them both turn).

The other end of the tube is slightly enlarged and grooved to make a very tight interference fit into the link, which makes it very, very tight.

just got the watch and i've been toying with it for a half an hour but i don't want to break anything. i tried searching but i couldn't come up with anything. how on earth do you take out a link?

thanks.

i'll take some pics later.

I have just received my BB from TTK and ran into the same problem as you. Once I had unscrewed the small screw at one end and tried to push the tube out (nearly breaking my nylon pin remover in the process) I figured that the tubes inside the links were fitted using an interference fit, albeit a damn tight one. So I unscrewed the end of the pin remover, turned the link on end, placed it into the tube end, lightly tapped it with a pin hammer and lo and behold the tube gradually eased out.

I would recommend that you remove the screws from both of the tubes as a certain amount of pressure is applied to the other one during this process and as the screws are not exactly made of high grade steel they could possibly snap.

Of course the other way is to take it to your local friendly watchsmith
