  1. I'd be very interseted in this too. Mine arrives next week and was planning on greasing caseback and crown but would be interested in results if anyone else has already done this.

    I'm not confident in my ability to remove the movement to test on an empty case!

    I have two more complete watches coming next week! I'll test them and let you folks know.....you should start thinking

    of doing some work on your watches......at least a little bit at a time! Getat watches are cheap, so it's affordable to mess up!

    That's why I buy their watches......to play around with!

    Goodluck!

  2. Did anyone tested the water resistance of a watch from getat or from jacksontse?

    Results?

    The two 1st watches I got from them was good to 3ATM,

    these:

    but the first case leaked around the crystal! This:

    came out like this:

  4. Excellent reply....hack! Hack! Hack!

    I think you're an expert! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    flat = on caseback, as it is on your wrist on on a desk yes.

    Problem = Extra module above movement has gears in to move seconds at 9 to 6. This involves extra gears. Problem is these are not jeweled, just running flat against eachother on the bottom plate of this module. So they will wear out. These extra gears sap power from the drive train of the watch too so it struggles to turn them. Just a bad design.

    Fixes -

    Service movement, replace crap rep balance = more powerful movement, will keep the watch/extra gears running better/longer.

    Remove and strip complete upper module. Clean (ultrasonically) all the gears and plates. Use graphite powder to lubricate them. This allows them to turn a lot easier, reducing friction. So it will turn the second hand smoother and last a lot longer before wearing out.

    Say a standard "good" (plenty of crap ones) S@6 lasts 12 months.....service and graphite movement = it lasts double that, 2 years. Hack it every night, that doubles it to 4 years. Only wear it 3 days a week instead of 7, hacking it the other 4 = 5-6 years before crapping out easily imo.

  5. I think I have the same model as yours!

    What I do with all my 7750/chrono watches is to pull the crown out all the way till it stops and then I store after use! So far, DONT JINX ME!!!!!, they're all ok! Don't run your chronos on those that have the se@6 mod! It seems to strain the movement more! Now these are just my style and observation and I am no EXPERT! But, hey, so far so good!

    Hike!
