Well well well apppaently its is available in real swiss ETA 2892 check out the reply from ruby: hi joe. i can get the watch. but there is two version, copy eta 2892 or real swiss 2892. thanks! ruby anyone goin to buy it??

I have a cartier tank ETA 2000, like it a lot but its a little small next to my panerais but a nice change when wearing something smart.

anyone?

I got a PAM 172 from a member but there was only 1 lug screw. The problem is i have a spare lug screw but its not the correct diameter. The one i have is 1.7mm diameter The lug screw i need is 2.01mm diameter. The threads are the same as a normal lug screw just its a little thicker. Does anyone have one?? Help!!

I think he has handsets for the ETA 2836 not ETA 2893 GMT

I have a problem I have a PAM 29 ETA 2893 GMT movement but i dont have the correct size hand. I have a GMT hand for an ETA 2836 modified GMT movement. the problem is that the GMT hand wont fit on the ETA 2893 movement. The GMT wheel for the 2893 movement is 1.90mm diameter, whereas the hand i have is 2.10mm diameter. Do anyone know if it would be possible to make some kind of spacer ring. Any help is much appreciated Thanks

Has anyone else seen this new watch from Josh Movement is not the best as its a gold ETA but other that that at first glance it looks pretty ok

Hacking on a watch has nothing to do with the chrono seconds or normal seconds. Its a small thin metal strip which, when the stem is pulled out, the metal strip presses on the balance wheel thus stopping it. even if the seconds are running from the chrono seconds, if you pull out the stem to adjust the time it should stop just like any normal watch. I dont think there are transfer gears

Just beautiful I have the same watch,and a Black faced one as well, both with swiss 2892 movements as well. Im looking to replace the rep dial with a gen dial but cant find them anywhere. There used to be a few on Ebay but now none!! I wish i had bought a few when i saw them. Enjoy its a beauty, forget about getting another the bracelet and the buckle, the face of the watch is the most important part.

The Panerais with the same movement dont have running center seconds. They have the seconds at 9 oclock position which is normal layout for the 7750 movement. Im not a watch expert but with the knowledge i have it seems that the only way to get the running center seconds on this watch would be to use the chrono second hand and have it constantly running. Why would the maker want to make a gear transfer system, to complicate things and also add cost to the watch, i know its already expensive!!. Personally i dont think this is the case. I think its just the chrono seconds running and thats the reason for the jerkiness. When The Zigmeister comes back from his break maybe he can chime in and clear this up.

What can i do the head of the screw is neaely all chewed up an it wont budge will i have to drill the lug hole to get it out? any help is appreciated oh and by the way, has anybody else had the same problem with the PAM 192?? I just bought it from a member and he said it came like that and that others who bought this same model had the same problem. Thanks

The reason for the jerkiness is because the chrono function IS actually running!!!!! the second hand on the so called Ultimate with Asian 7750 modified movement is the chrono second hand and is continually running. For this reason you get the jerkiness. I will not be buying one maybe an Asian one....

Thanks, glad you liked it

Why is that that EL is the only person who can get the IWC 3717? I personally dont think a factory would rep a watch especially just for 1 dealer as that would limit sales and profits Whats going on?

Well King has replied and said yes its eta 2892 movement. Ive asked for a movement picture, we shall see.........

Yeah i thought the same thing too, thats why ive emailed just to check

But they are new items on kings website and posted as SWISS 2892 & ASIAN 2892. Only in PVD and TT PVD with rubber strap!

as the title says, king has a B&R with swiss ETA 2892 is it for real?? would post the link but well you know EDIT, confirmed by Ruby with real swiss ETA 2892 movement!!!

Ready to put back into the case, also blow off any dust on the inside of the crystal Movement back in the case Movement holder and chrono pieces chrono pieces back in the movement holder Holder in place Movement screws screwed in. At this time i also check to see if the chrono is working correctly or not. actually the 30 minute chrono hand wasnt installed correctly and when i started, stopped and reset the movement the 30 minute chrono hand flew off. I had to put it on again Crown and stem back in place Case back on Wrist shot, GREAT!

I was doing this transplant last night and thought it shouldn't take too much extra time to snap a few pics along the way to post here and give other members a look and see whats involved. I want to make it clear that im NOT a watchmaker or any kind of watch guru, im just a hobbyist and do this stuff in my free time. I started my interest in reps when i was about 15 years old when my friend had a rep Tag Heuer. I was very envious and really wanted one but at that time they were only available in asia etc... and i wasnt going on holiday anytime soon. Anyway i got my first rep, a submariner, and though it was the dogs bollox. Now i have to laugh, a 17 year old with a rolex - yeah right!!!! Well 10 years later and ive gone off rolexes and like Omega, Panerai and Breitling to name a few. Im quite technically minded and always like mechanical movements and wondered how they work. Ive recently just stripped an old asian 7750 and put it back together and it works!!!!, great sense of satisfaction. Ive had no proper training and just do this hobby by trial and error, and with a little help from RWG as guidance. The methods that i use are by no means the best and certainly not endorsed by watchmakers but they do seem to work for me and achieve the results that i want. Im doing this tutorial/pictorial just to let people see how its done. Feel free to try these methods but if your are not technically minded DONT dive in and expect to do a good job!, leave it to the pros like Mr.The Zigmeister OK so i have a Chrono avenger and wanted to replace the old asian 21,000bph movement with a Gen Swiss ETA 7750. I read on this great forum that it was a straight swap. Great!! I purchased the ETA 7750 from a seller on ebay check here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Watch-Movement-ETA-775...VQQcmdZViewItem He's a great guy to deal with and can get a better price if you take more than 1, like i did!! So just again what im doing, Im replacing an old version 21,000bph Asian 7750 with a Gen Swiss ETA 7750 On to the pics. Here is the New ETA 7750 movement and the Chrono Avenger Same again My too small table with all the tools that ill need for the job!, of course you need a beer too (in the background!!) Case back removal tool, think its called Jaxa? Case back off! Case back off! Case back off! movement holder screw no. 1, tweezers pointing to screws movement holder screw no. 2 movement holder screw no. 3 Screws off The tweezers are pointing to the crown stem removal button, im not sure of the correct term for this. Press this BUT NOT TOO HARD OR ELSE YOU'LL SCREW UP THE KEYLESS WORKS AND THEN YOUR IN A WORLD OF HURT!! Before removing the stem in the above picture, adjust the hands so its 12 oclock, this will make it easier to remove the hands. NOTE ADJUST THE TIME TO 12pm NOT 12am AS AGAIN IT COULD MESS WITH THE DATE CHANGE MECHANISM AND/OR THE KEYLESS WORKS! OK stem removed Turn the whole watch upside down and out comes the movement and dial Lift the case away as above BE CAREFUL HERE!!! For the chrono to work the movement holder has 2 small metal 'pushers' (again correct terminology? ive no idea!) these are not held in place and can easily fall out, be careful, not to lose them Movement holder and movement Hand removal tool I use a piece of paper to protect the dial, probably should use lint paper but i dont have any! Cut a v shape in it Cut a v shape in it The chrono Avenger dial has the rehaut attached to the dial and so it was very difficult to use the paper to protect the dial as i couldnt get the paper it place. I could have removed the rehaut but i didnt want to. In this case i didnt use the paper to protect the dial. I was just very careful to remove the hands. I didnt touch the dial at all with the removal tool. Not for the faint hearted! Hour and minute hands off The side of the movement there should be a device to hold the dial in place. 1 on each side of the movement. again i dont know the correct term for these but this particular movement didnt have them To remove the dial i use a screwdriver and gently insert it between the dial and the movement. Be careful not to scratch the datewheel!!!. EDIT: Please note, i only insert the edge of the screwdriver and then twist it to lift up the dial This method above also removes the small chrono hands as well! All chrono hands off Dial off New ETA 7750 movement to be installed Im also replacing the dial, the new dial is still a rep dial but better than the old rep dial In this pic you can see the dial holder 'things', not sure what they are called. Dial in place, can you spot the problem?? Again another pic can you see? Plastic tweezers for the next job and the hand press 30 min chrono hand on 12 hour chrono hand on Second hand on Second hand ticking ok Second hand ticking ok Hour and minute hand ready to go on Hour hand on using the hand press, NOTE before putting the hour hand make sure the time is set to 12 o'clock. I use a piece of tissue paper to press the hand back on so as i dont mark the hands Hour hand on and testing to see if its on the right place Minute hand on, all seems ok Chrono second hand on Checking to see if all is aligned ok, all is OK Blow off any dust :rolleyes:

currently no but i think a model similar to this was proposed in RT's polls but didnt get made. This model looks like a GMT, i personally think the regular model looks great, check this out, how people didnt vote for this ill never know

Where can i find a ETA 6497 high cannon pinion and hour wheel?? can anyone point me in the right direction.

Guys just want to clarify a few points/ observations I've made on this new Chopard It has an Asian modified 7750 usually the 7750 has running seconds at the 9 o'clock position this watch has running center seconds so the center seconds is actually the chronograph seconds and its constantly running. Just like on a regular 7750 if you start the chronograph the center seconds will start. Does this seem right?? If so then what about reliability?

Nice place, where is it?? Life is sweet, enjoy EDIT ok is it casa las brisas?? if so where is that? EDIT got it, google is great Puerto Vallarta Have a great time and have a drink for me!

$65 for a datewheel overlay?? i bit pricey me thinks?????
