Rolexman, Without the help from you i wouldn´t have come this far. It is MUCH apprechiated!! I was just thanking md for his kind words in his last post. Cheers!

Thanx MD! I though i would ruin the movement to. I was prepared for it as i was just interested in seeing all the parts with my own eyes. I figured it wasn´t working anymore and i couldnt be arsed to send it away so why not have fun with it. My trick was to always have the movement ticking when putting it together. If it stopped i knew i was putting the part in the wrong way. Getting the oscillating wheel pin in the pallet fork looked to be the most impossible thing and would have ended my jerney but somehow it got in place very easy. Then when all was assembled and i tried the chronograph functions, IT WORKED!! It starts, stops and resets as it should =). Only thing i have to fix is the hour-counting wheel that spins freely. In all it must have taken over 20h to assemble it. But i know i would cut that time in half now when i do it again to get it properly oiled. Any tips on how to put hands back on would be much apprechiated as it feels like i have to use excessive force to put them all in place. Cheers!

Thanks MD2020 for sharing this trick! It was so easy doing it the way you described it! I must have tampered with this spring for a good 4-5h without any luck. Once i new this trick it took me 1 try and about 20 seconds! I got everything together and nearly all of it was working! Only thing not working seems to be the Hour-counting wheel on the chronograph as it seems to spin freely. Any ideas on what could be wrong? It doesn´t seem to engage the wheel underneath it :S So far the hardest parts to install has been the "automatic device bridge" =) (getting all lined up must have taken 10-15 tries and 3-4 hours) CHeers!

Cheers MD! I Will try this! I got d-5, 8300 and 9010/2 but this image is from a clean movement. I must have made 50 images or so while taking it apart lol.

Sorry for not posting that often =( I hope this thread will help beginners to not be afraid to disect their broken/unwanted 7750 to get an insight on what they are really missing! I have put a circle around the parts i have problem with. The spring should hold both metal parts between its legs =) But it´s been the no.1 hardest part of this movement to put together!

This spring is "V" shapet or more like a tall "R" where the hole in the "R" goes in to a pin that holds the spring and the legs spreads and holds the Hammer and operating leaver. Not much room to hold the spring with a tweezer im afraid and more so holding the other parts that can also take a trip in the air =)

An update! So i managed to isolate the problem to a broken escapement wheel and have managed to replace it. Everything on the "movement" part is now assembled and seems to be ticking =) A new problem has now arrised, namely getting the spring around the hour hammer and it´s operating lever. This seems to be a real royal pita to say the least. Doe´s anyone have any tricks up his sleeve to get it on? Cheers!

Thanks for the reply and no offense taken =) I am totally aware that i will probably just get the movement togheter - non working but as it wasnt working anyways i thougt i could get some knowledge on how these things work. Problem is pretty basic. The Driver cannon wheel is stuck on the Great wheel. I will try and upload a image when i get the time. Cheers! /sm

Hi all, In short, to find out why my Hublot v6 stopped working upside down, i decided to buy all the tools necessary to disect and serve the 7750. All has gone smoothly and the only problem i have encounterd is that the "Driver Cannon Pinion" on the dial side is stuck on to the axis that comes from the "Great Wheel". I am planning on using some solvant to remove oxidation which i think could be the problem to why they are stuck together?. Does anyone have any input on what else i can do to solve my tiny-tiny little problem. Is this a know issue? Worst case is that i just leave them attached and hope that this isn´t connected to the problem why the movement stops upside down. Clean and oil the watch with my high grade syntetic oil that i got and hope it works again. Best Regards SM

I heard 2-3 weeks out from a TD =) Waiting for one my self

This is just what i was looking for =) Anyone have any experiance with a 312 fitted with a seagull 35J? Or would recommend another model?

Any suggestions to witch model to look at? I want one with sandwich dials, date and running seconds. Automatic movement (and not a A-7750) Maybe i have to go handwinded movement =/

Hi, Does anyone know if the kevlar strap from a iwc Top Gun 3789/3799 will fit on a 3717? Best Regards /Mario

The HBB evo is a pretty big watch and heavy! My first impression when picking it up was "wow, this feels like the real deal!". I think it nearly wheighs the same as my gen seamaster with metal bracelet! You wont regret geting the HBB evo v6. Dunno about the other models thou.

lol, i bought one and i cant get enough now =) My list is sooo long. My first one was a HBB too, the evo steel/cer with the croc strap. I also thought the strap looked fake too so Ms King sent me the rubber strap too. But holding it in my hand, boy its fantastic! Havn´t switched strap yet =)
