The 7750 movement only winds in one direction .... if you turn it the wrong way, it will never wind.

LOL

For a more comfortable way to the same vistas .. Do as lhooq is doing right now and go to Glacier National Park in Montana and it's connected sister park in Canada. It truly is magnificent and there are world class hotels there as well Fly into calgary and take a bus tour of banff and the two parks or take Amtrak directly into the park and rent a car.

Congrats and ... YES that's a lot to spend on your first rep ... you must really love it here.

The trouble is due to the extremely high-tech nature of "liquid metal" ... it's only made in one factory by one company, I believe. I dont know if the bezel could be made in it's proper form without this technology. You could certainly make the watch and use a normal bezel on it ... but that would never survive inspection by anyone.

You need to mention where you are in the World so we can try and direct you to the closest repair guy.

I find that I am oddly attracted to the Ti Porsche diver, non-PVD ... it's not beautiful but it is .... something. Dunno.

OHHH AHHH!! Nice.

Welcome and enjoy this hobby!

Ask Trevor about it. It looks like dust to me. See if it wipes off.

Sunday is for Swiss Fish.

The standard for refinishing bracelet edges ... a woman's nail file (emery board) !! Sit with it while you are watching TV, for example, and work the rough edges with the nail file. This hobby is not about the delivered watch .. it's about the delivered watch plus what you can do to make it even better once you get it. Until a few years ago, Rolex stainless steel watches had famously cheap feeling bracelets. The stainless models are for the most part considered sports or tool watches, and not luxury works of art.

Glad to hear it. I'm sure you'll be very happy with the services.

Sure ... I hope the site owner is ready for a horde of rep enthusiasts well-educated in what is quality built, fairly priced and what is shady crap. The last time someone found a "great new dealer", they were charging $700 for a clone ETA UPO ..... and the fair price is ... wait for it ... $200.

It could be that there is a regional demand for them, other than Western tastes .. like super bling watches in Asia.

There are old-school ultimate modded Fiddys for sale in the Watches area right now, and that is what Tanya is talking about. It has been a while since I looked at them but I want to say that at least one has a gen dial?? Just go over and look .. if you have a big bag of dollars and dont mind spending it on the best.

Don't you mean "Hmmmm" ?

Never use Red ... "heat up" is an understatement .. you are required to use a plumbers torch to loosen red Loc-Tite. And I don't mean the UK "torch" with batteries. edit: whee! my "perpetual" subscription expired again

Happy Birthday, Pete.

I don't know how I missed this several months ago, but congratulations to you, and much respect for your excellent work.

How many people can say they changed the World thru peaceful means?

As for George, I just read over on RWI that he is suspending new repair tickets from September thru October to clear his backlog.

When I initially answered this post, I did not know Vac did 7750 service. He does.
