G-S Hypo cement, but I would try to remove the old glue (denatured alcohol very carefully applied with a Q-tip should work) before applying the new. You may also need to find a way to clamp the loose part onto the dial for 24 hours to be sure it stays put.

Each has its own set of problems & you have to decide which set offends you the least relative to the gen model you are building. Personally, I would go with the 2nd 1, but many would disagree with me (which is why you should make the final call yourself).

Ditto.

Refreshes of menus is taking 20-40+ seconds (other non-RWG sites refresh much quicker).

All aftermarket dials contain a unique (or slightly different) set of mistakes/inaccuracies/problems & this 1 is no exception. Check these out & see if you find something you like better there. If not, get the 1st 1.

No offense intended, but there is only 1 thing I avoid more than CZ/fake 'jewels' on a rep watch.........no, wait, there is nothing that I avoid more than CZ/fake 'jewels' on a rep watch. Sorry.

Say what you will about the chancy nature of ebay sellers (who, at least can be judged to some degree by their seller histories & buyers' ratings), but I would never buy anything of any value from an unknown seller on Craigs list. No way, no how.

Without knowing specifically what you need, I can only answer in general terms. I do not have a list, but many parts are interchangeable between the Asian & ETA versions of the 7750, so you might try ordering parts from julesborel.com or cousinsuk.com. If there is a specific part you need, either order it (if it is not too expensive) or post a question in the Watch Repair forum to see if anyone has tried to replace it with an ETA part before.

Very suave. Congratulations.

Nail polish remover (acetone) removes crazy glue (ethyl cyanoacrylate), but it also depends on what the insert is made of.

The trick in stem replacement is cutting the new stem to fit the case without cutting it too short. So I would get 2-3 stems & shorten the stem by small increments & test fit after each cut. A common mistake when doing this the 1st time is cutting the new stem too short.

I do not know if they do custom work, but Kirk Rich (in California) has does excellent work redialing gens.

Far from an accurate copy of a gen, but I have seen worse. Alot worse.

Hard to see what you have there with such poor pics, but you might find this interesting.

Very cute future WIS & Ziggy did a great job (love that dial), but I would double-check your crown.........it does not look gen to me.

Maybe we should send her an official invite to join RWG?

Great post & congrads on your 1st. Say what you will about Josh's pricing, but the guy offers good products with quick/professional service. Wear it well, mick.

It looks like a very nice franken. Is it worth the advertised price? Not to me. Especially, when the real thing can be purchased (from a reputable gen seller) for about the same price or a few thousand more. Now, at $2k-$4k...........or even $5k (since he has a gen 7835/357 bracelet fitted), probably. All that said, based on the A7750-powered 6239 I got from him (which I had to rebuild because it was such a mess), I would not expect that the watch you receive will look as good as the watch in his pics.

Looks like just the place to throw off the winter doldrums (even if you landed on what looked like a short street). I especially liked this pic

A beauty. Congratulations & have a great weekend breaking it in (not up).

Not my taste, but I can see why other people like them.
