  1. Help - Is This Normal?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Interesting story thanks for sharing. As for your question, someone else has to answer, me newbie :)

    Listen to this one:

    I own a Tag Heuer Link Chrono with the Asian 7750@28000bph. I noticed that I had to wind it each time again and again. So I removed the caseback and saw there was a little screw preventing the rotor from spinning!

    After I fixed this I noticed a strange feeling and noise when I moved the watch! For the first time I discovered the rotor! Hahaha....

    But can anyone tell me why this 7750 makes so much noise and why my Rolex Sub with ETA automatic does NOT make any sound and works perfectly???

  3. Watch Winders

    Being cheeeeap.... I came across these. What do you think? Its not those fancy smancy ones, but it does have these features:

    # Clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

    # Super silent motors (no noise)

    # IC Timer: 1 hour moving 3 hours resting.

    I emailed them with some questions and they promptly replied:

    1) what if some of the 12 was not working properly or has defect ? (whats the exchange policy?) http://www.4-watches.com/casio/policy.html

    2) how are the quality of these winders? Good.

    3) can the AC adaptor be constantly plugged without the danger of overheating? I have not had any one with this problem or any problem.

  9. Watch Buying On The Las Vegas Strip

    Sorry, but for all I enjoyed Vegas, as an Italian citizen I find describing the concrete and glassfibre warehouse with the artificial dampness on the floor tiles being decribed as 'St. Mark's square' rather comical. My impression of 'The Venetian' compared to the real Venice was like being in a Walt Disney cartoon version of reality.

    Out of all the hotels in Vegas, the only one that didn't have me laughing out loud was The Bellagio as it didn't try to ape another part of the world.

    But when I went to Venice 2 yrs ago, rode on the gondola, it was pretty sad. Because the entire town was a ghost town. No one lives there anymore, buildings were dirty and in ruins, and its all run up by shops trying to lure tourists.

    So I thought I'd be totally impressed by Venice, but I was left with a feeling of sadness and emptiness

  12. My First Order - Arrived !

    Sad news, unfortunately, the Omega clasp is not closing properly.

    Also when I pull to the 3rd click to adjust the date, if I go anti-clockwise, the needles do NOT move and it comes looser and looser, (probably unscrew right out if I continue) !

    Is this normal ?

    And the G on the GMT is not properly painted/formed. So with these things, I have to mail back to Andrew and he will replace it. Sucks that shipping is gonna cost me a lot !!!

    That's the rotor that winds the mainspring... All automatic watches have a rotor so they wind when you move.

    The ETA Valjoux 7750 is even louder... Beautiful sound, isn't it? :thumbsupsmileyanim::thumbsupsmileyanim:

    Oh i see. It is spinning so fast, doesn't even sound like it was attached to anything. I thought something came loose big time .

    I have two watches, one is Asian Automatic 21J, the other is Swiss ETA 2824-2 Automatic.

    When I hold them in my hand and move them side to side medium fast, then stop, I can hear the pendulum (I think thats what you call it) inside spin freely by itself quite fast. Then slows and stops.

    They are both not fully wound, barely 1 day of wearing in a few days.

    Is this normal? What's going on?

  20. Transformers

    Me too... I can't wait !!

    I loved that last Anime Transformer movie with Cybertron, etc.

    I actually have the very old Japanese Transformers (with Micro-man) with real die-cast made. Sitting in a box, waiting for its value to go up hehe

  24. New And Need Reassuring

    I'm new myself, and just got my first 2 reps (Omega SMP GMT and Bell&Ross) from Trustytime. Both arrived safely in about 4 days after my Paypal transaction.

    I've learned a lot from this forum and tons more to learn.

    From what I see here, Perfect Clones's Josh is very highly regarded. So there is more confidence if you ordered from him. At least you know his work is not a scam (like others I've read on here).

    I'm not sure how you can tell if the movement is ETA, etc... I guess you'd have to open it up and really know what you are looking for ?

    4 days wow...

    the Bell & Ross looks very classy..

    It was faster than I thought. I was just using the tracking, seeing "okay its in Lum Kapur, Thailand? Malaysia? Then when I got home, package at my mailbox, I'm like NO WAY !!" After opening like 5 layers of bubble wrap and envelopes, there they were !!

    Yes, it looks very nice in person. Very classy and shiny. Sure attracts attention. The black leather band with white stitching looks sharp too.

    Now I'm not sure if the date position is correct, I think the real one has it at 5 or 6 o'clock? But that's okay, non of my friend have actually seen a real B&R anyways haha
