Just received a watch back from watch smith after having a new Swiss movement put in; however it keeps stopping when the seconds are at 44/45... A shake of the wrist gets it going again! It doesn't stop every minute but always stops in the same place. Any ideas? Or back to wtchsmith?

Thnx in advance

I'd take one :-) I like it!!

One for me please!

Anyone know what's happened to Francisco? He has one of my watches and I'm unable to get hold of him?

Thanks

This is beautiful... Any more info?

How do you change your display Name?

Thanks in advance.

Definitely can be done for sec-at-12, but not easy swap, and very questionable how much it makes sense. I remember that The Zigmeister used to do this for HBBs, but he stoped after while, because mod to swiss movement was quite hard - and remember that HBBs movement have just one post (chrono minutes) transferred from 12 to 3 (three quite simple gears added). You will end up with "Swiss" movement, but it will contain bunch of asian parts, including very problematic modification of transferring running sec to 12-o-clock position. If your watchmaker can take care of this part of movement (see Franciscos section about this), rest of Asian sec-at-12 movement is more than satisfying after thorough cleaning and service.

Thanks - Watch is currently with Francisco for Mod ;-)

Thanks guys... might stick with the service. imperfections wise? I know about the main one by the date window but don't see too many other major ones?

Perhaps im blind...

I have a survivor with Asia 7750 movement - I was going to get this serviced but would it be better or even possible to upgrade to a gen swiss movement?

Or is this being stupid and a simple service will sort the issues?

Thx
