Why would anyone make "The Best Sub" and use their real name and contact info on their web store? Rolex SA will come down on him like a hammer.

Three handed reps can be sent to The Katt in the Midwest. He normally turns around in a week. Most modders are backed up a month or two. He's a trusted watch technician on RWI for a couple of years now. No 7750 work.

I'm glad to see you have make this a pet project. Perhaps you can crack this problem wide open. Thanks and good luck to you.

moebius oil If you google the ETA oiling charts, ETA explains in detail where and how much to use.

Did a postmortem of the watch reveal the cause of death? Was it the additional gears of the power-train OR a problem with the 7750 internals?

wtchgk: An improved model 3714 or the original version without the new jewels

I want to see the 10cm lathe you use to make 1mm parts Talent by the yard, as always.

3 handed watches or chronographs?

The 7750 and 7753 are dangerous to hand wind due to the poor quality of their winding gear. That is true for the Swiss version as well. Common Swiss and Asian three handed automatics should be hand wound to start them running and then worn to wind them further. I have not seen anything specificly stated about dangers for hand winding these in a responsible manner i.e. gently. The crown will never stop turning if you try and wind it fully because the spring in an automatic is made to slip if it is over wound. Hand wind movements should be fully wound and then worn. When the crown stops, you are done winding. The spring in a handwind does not slip. It stops.

Every 3 to 5 years, the oil in the watch had dried up and become dirty. This happens if you wear the watch of even if you do not wear it. The oil becomes like gum.

I never let my wife see all of them at once.

I know quality reps of this are available out there. Send a PM to user KB .. he is this forum's dedicated soft goods merchant. He'll source it for you if he can.

Very cool. I like the lighter colored Assolutamente on it, myself.

Bergies is run by user name KB .. he can get almost anything you want. His photo area here on this Forum only has a few things he can sell.

Yes, there are so many Asia movements with working PR .. I wonder why the BP does not receive any of these

It entirely depends upon your day-to-day activity level. Some adults have jobs where they move very little. If you are that person and you do not hand-wind your automatic watch, it will never be wound enough to run properly.

Yes. The standard N-Factory ceramic submariner replica is a good watch, and it comes with several different movement choices so you can pick the one to fit your budget.

It was still DSSD Day today.

Servicing a 3-handed ETA movement should cost $100, plus or minus $20 .. depending on who does it. Each modder charges their own price.

Bergie is this Forum's dedicated soft-goods merchant. He only sells the top grade stuff, tho .. so if what you need is only available in low grade, he won't sell it. Look at his small web storefront here on this Forum, where he has a few examples of what he can source. You need to PM him (user name KB) to ask him to source items for you. In the past, I have purchased LV wallet from him (among other things), and it is still in near-perfect condition after a couple of years of daily use.

Welcome! You have the right idea; read up on things, and you'll learn more than you thought is possible

I have to assume that the keyless parts in the watch became dislodged in travel to your house. It's an easy thing to fix for a person who works on watches. Just a couple of parts knocked out of place.

Hello. On the front page of this forum, about halfway down you will see a list of a dozen trusted web stores. Regarding Bergies, he can get almost anything. The pictures he posts to this forum are only a few items he sells. They are examples. Go out to the front page. The page with the live chat box at the top. Scroll down about half way. You will see a big list of different web stores.

The Sea-Dweller DeepSea has the ceramic bezel. You are probably thinking of this watch. All the trusted dealers can source one for you.

Do not pay extra for a faceless person in China to service and waterproof your watch. You have no idea if they are talented or complete dolts.
