Hello friends, Guess it's my lucky day today lost the shock spring when installing the A7750. So anyone has any idea where can I buy it?

Hello guy, I received my DLCoated plates from Avitt. It's hard to describe the surface, it's close to my military Hard Anondized III Teflon sealed coated items. It's certainly thin and does not require much force to reinstall the two pressed gears. The only problem left with friction is the press in pivot/towers that holds the gears. I wish Avitt could coat them as well. I am wondering if it could be done with them attached to the plates without the gears. When installing the gears I tried to lube the two gear pivot/towers, very litte with light oil. Not good. The movement would stop randomly. So, I cleaned them and reinstall, it runs fine. So I guess I leave them dry. Alright I am going to let this movement run for the next 3-6 months 24x7 everyday then I'll do a detailed tear down and post my findings on the gear pivot/towers. Vincent.

Ben, what does the caseback says? Can you please post a picture?

I am big IWC 3714 fan. I have two of these I got from two different dealers. They are bought two months ago. So I believe they are the latest movement. The picture below, shows 2 sets of gears which is related to the friction issue that is widely known. I've increase the saturation of the image to show the wear of the gears. First two gears on top, came out from a portu that ran for roughly two weeks on and off. I pull the stem out to hack it when I am not wearing it. The second set of gears below, it probably ran for 3 days during the EMS transit. I hack it immediately after receiving it. You can see a tiny bit of wear on the left bottom gear, where as top gears suffer serious wear. Please note, the movement could have spend sometime running during assembly at the watchmaker's "office", so it could be longer than stated above. I gave up my worries, I got a bare movement from Concepta, the gen is a extremely beautiful movement. The seconds run smooth, less jittery and time adjust is butter smooth. Of course, it comes with a price but the gen movement upgrade is definitely worth it compared to buying a whole gen. But what about the other IWC? When Avitt decided to offer DLC coating, I had to go for it. My plates are still on the way to the master, I will report back once I put it to work for a few months. If this works, I hope Avitt could invest time in perfecting DLC coated gears. This would bring replicas to a whole new level. This is most interesting development after custom AR coating. You notice I quoted the word "office" previously? No matter what you do, please send your watch for a service when you get it. The amount of dust?/crap left behind when cleaning all the parts took me by surprise. I specialize in micro electronics but I can tell how bad it is. In another words, a new dirty movement in my new watch.

Hello I am shopping for the same watch but this is the 38mm from Watcheden. I wonder what happen to those 4Xmm versions.
