  1. Gen SOH Mesh band

    The Ocean Classic Braclet is not on the Chrono-matic. The Chorno-Matic uses the Aero-classic bracelet. The mess is finer.

    Authentic watches does not know what they are talking about...I am also shocked they are less then MSRP on this bracelet. Typically they are WAY over priced on straps and bracelets.

    refering from here, bracelets seem to be indentical for chrono-matic (aero clasic) and for superocean heritage (ocean classic):

    It is reference wrong?

    Another question:

    are there any rep bracelets which "feels nice to wear"? ;)

  8. Buying A7750 movement

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by watchas1

    Guys, thanks for replies,

    It seems cousinsuk have it, 99ukpounds/120euro/155usd. How about other suppliers? I have check ofrei, they do not seem to have it?

    Also, how about a few weeks ago I remember browsing the net and found A7750 movement for 80 usd or so, but now i can not find this supplier again...

    Cheers

    P.S. I have just found great link here:

    http://www.rwgforum.com/index.php?app=links&module=links&section=categories&do=view&cid=17

    will go now and check for A7750

  10. Jismaa 125 and Molykote DX oil

    in General Discussion

    Not to come off a an a$$, but I assume you have no experience in the servicing of a watch by your question?

    If you use D5 or 910 in place of DX, you are just going to end up sending oil throughout the watch causing more harm then good. DX and Jismaa as not oils, in the sense of the term. Each lubricant in a watch servers a special functions and there are reasons why each type is used and how much of it is used.

    Sometimes, and you only know those "sometimes" through experience, you can exchange what types of oils you use and where to help with friction issues. Sometimes it take a mixture to get the results you need, but again this comes with spending may hours under a loop.

    Oh yeah, sure, I have no experience no education in watchsmith whatsoever, I just want to try to play ;) So, I start by doing a homework, learning as much as I can before making a cut into the watch :)

    Anyways, I was thinking to save on buying 4 types of oil, but now I got a better idea. I will simply visit my local watch repair store and ask them to drain me a few drops of each oil. I am sure guys will do so for a few beers :)

    Thanks for your response.

  11. Can you recommend lever-type hand removers?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I was tried to get those recommended here on the forum:

    but they are not available now.

    Therefore, I took a look at these at ofrei.com:

    1. BERG-30019

    2. MSA-05.007

    3. MSA-05.009

    Are they any good even for small subdial hand removing? Which one is the best?

    Also, there are levers for hairspring collets (MSA-03.103-C for instance)? What are these for?

  12. Jismaa 125 and Molykote DX oil

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I was watching the ETA 7750 assembly on eta.ch website and I have a question regarding oiling of Asian A7750.

    How different in viscosity are these Jismaa 125 and Molykote DX compared to Moebius D5 and 9010??? Maybe it would be ok to substitute these two types of oil (Jismaa 125 and Molykote DX)?

    From the assembly one can see that Jismaa 125 oil is used only once, on 31.080 driver cannon pinion. Molykote DX is also used only on several parts:

    - 51.050 Yoke;

    - 55.200 chronograph cam;

    - 55.281 Lock, 2 functions;

    - 55.241 Hammer, 2 functions;

    - 55.248 Hour hammer;

    - 55.055 Hour hammer operating lever.

    So, I would need your experienced advice what would be the result of oiling these parts with substitute oil or not oiling them at all? I mean, knowing that new Asian A7750 movements come unoiled at all and they still work well, so maybe it is ok?

  17. Oiling the movement during the assembly?

    Guys, thanks for support and info,

    Bike Mike, please update the link you provided in your post, it is not the right one.

    Actually, the movement that I will try to disassemble and assemble is broken, so I have nothing to loose. I am in the process of ordering a new movement, but I would like to play with the old one, just for fun.

    I feel I have what it takes to do it. I just have to order the right tools and with your wonderful support guys (as well as with the support of rwg forum) I think I will have loads of fun :)

    I am also planning to make a video of disassembly and assembly process, so lets see ;)

    cheers

  20. Oscillator in the movement freezes at certain angles

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have noticed one more problem with my Asian A7750 movement from Breitling for Bentley wristwatch. It seems that this oscillating mechanism (I do not know the name for it, flying wheel or something) STOPS oscillating when the dial is facing upwards. Something might have created some tension or something after the watch was dropped to the ground.

    Too the problem in action please see this video:

    I would appreciate your suggestions is this fixable? Or shall get a new A7750 ?

    thanks

  25. List of information about A7750 movement

    Posted

    Guys,

    How do i find all info related with A7750 movement on this nice forum? Information with pictures, guidance how to repair, disassemble and assemble, oiling, cleaning, etc?

    I got my Breitling for Bentley broken a bit, so will try to fix myself, but since I have no experience, only eagerness to learn, I will try to repair it myself (bought Horotec screwdrivers already :)

    Cheers
