"Only question is, how do I find the spot where the feet should be located at? The dial is a mystery movement dial and is supposed to be converted to a Valjoux 72 dial!" Make a paper template and transfer it to the dial. Soldering not recommended because of the paint or dial finish.

Rep lume shot Old cannon pinion and standard crown

Case is from Josh Rep lume was weak as expected. I relumed the dial and replaced the hands with Davidsen... here are the results.....

Excellent review By-Thor!

No good.... that will create another problem....date window too wide and/or out of place.

Not my cup of tea.

Thanks for looking!

LOL

Great pics!

I will share some facts.....I have serviced a few movements with the "Noisy Rotor Syndrome" .... after oiling the rotor bearing with 9010 oil (per ETA Oil Charts) some will continue to make noise and some will improve a lot. 7750 rotors are known for their noise. I just serviced an ETA2824 installed on a IWC Ingy...even after oiling the rotor it still makes a little noise when you wind it manually. So the fact is that some rotor bearings are not made to the best quality and specs. noisy bearings = bad quality and need replacement (getting a 7750 rotor replacement is another story)

That's no superlume.

Metalset A4 this is one of the best epoxy. http://www.smooth-on.com/epoxy.htm vaccum

If you can do it...there will be a LOT of happy 7750 owners.

Wich one do you like most...pumpkin or black widow?

Get well! vaccum

Merry Christmas to all! vaccum

Can you remove the tube from the case? Try using a round file not pliers. Then check the tube and case threads for damage...btw did you use the tapping tool prior to screw the gen tube

Well, when I got this one for relume I was trying to figure out how to make the "pearl" look real nice. I talked to The Zigmeister about it and he told me to break the "pearl" crystal and remove the old lume. I want to take this opportunity to thanks my mentor The Zigmeister for the lots of info and knowledge he has shared with me since I decided to do some work for the members here. The Zigmeister has made my first steps a lot easier...thanks buddy! Back to the pearl......... Here is how I did it...I took and old 1.5mm screwdriver (any pointy object will do it) and a small nylon hammer...then I cracked the crystal and removed the crystal pieces, for the old lume I used a flat screwdriver smaller than the "pearl" hole (don't remember the size now) and scraped out the old lume. Then I cleaned everything with a bit of lume dilutor. Now to fill the hole I did a small amount of c-3 lume mix and filled the hole almost to the top of it because it will shrink a bit after it dries and it looked like this...note that its not flat to the top like it should Then to make it look like a flat pearl I filled it with varnish and let it dry. Sorry I don't have a close-up pic of the final product. Hope this answer your questions. vaccum

It happens

There is no need to unwind the mainspring to remove the stem. The click spring will keep it locked. vaccum

Ubi your knowledge about rolex is unreal. vaccum

From the pics It looks that the dial is not superlumed..... Dial and hands must match like this vaccum
