1st world problems!

Funny, that was one of the springs I was referring to in my post only on my A7750 it was shaped differently. That thing is a pain to get in. Took me like 4 hrs the first time but after being successful a couple times and figuring out a method that worked I got pretty good at it.

I'm no expert by any means, but I've taken a few 7750's apart and put them back together. Great job going for it. I had the same philosophy as you, it's already broken, how can I make it worse. I think everyone should try it because you learn so much. Of course if you love the watch and couldn't bare for it not to ever work again then definitely give it to MD or another expert. Anyway, the one thing I did learn is that the holes in the springs are often there to allow you to put one end of your tweezers in and squeeze them into place by placing the other end of your tweezers on another part of the watch. I struggled for hrs and then figured that out and could replace the springs in seconds. Not sure if you are talking about a similar spring (see no expert above) good luck!

I've seen pictures of this ProHunter GMT on both here and RepGeek (posted by projectologist). The AR just seems to be incredible. Not only does the crystal vanish but the cyclops seems to retain the "black hole" effect. I have a ProHunter sub that I don't wear purely because the crystal is terrible. The glare off the cyclops is so bad I can't even read the date unless I turn it to just the right angle. I'd love to somehow get a crystal similar to the one on Projectologists ProHunter GMT on my ProHunter Sub. Does anyone have any idea how to get this done? In his post, Projectologists lists that the crystal was double AR coated on both sides. While I believe it was my gut tells me that the crystal must have also been additionally AR coated under the cyclops to add the blackhole effect. I was thinnking that ideally I would take a crystal that already has an AR'd cyclops, like the ones from BigCrown (I actually have one already) and have the whole thing additional double AR coated. The problem is that it's a gen spec crystal and I'm not sure if that will fit in the noob sub, which the ProHunters are based on. Anyone know whether a gen spec crystal can be stuffed into a noob sub? I thought I saw a tutorial on here where someone shows how to take apart a noob sub and replace the crystal with a Clarks (gen spec) crystal by remvoing it through the case back. Anyone run across this thread? Assuming it fits do you think that double AR coating a BigCrown "black hole" crystal would give me a similar result? My other option would be to take out the crystal that came with my ProHunter sub and have it double AR coated but my gut tells me that's not going to give me the "black hole" effect. Can someone who's knows more about AR than me help guide me in the right direction or just chime in with your thoughts?

Pa-pa-pa-pa-PANDA!!!

Could you tell the time if there where bushes in the background or would the watch disappear?

@ The Dude I'm having a Caucasian in my jelly's and bath robe. It's good to know you're out there....takin er easy for all of us!

Why not just get a picture of the movement. At least then you know you're getting a gen movement.

He discusses at points in the video that different techniques may be used on the street.

Completely agree. The consistency at which a factory direct rep has broken for me after leaving the chrono running for a short time is startling. The sales listings should say A7750 - temporarily working subdials at 3, 6, 9. What's even worse as that it usually buggers the whole watch. If you plan on pushing the chrono one a rep you better have a movement service budgeted in.

Wow, great job. Never would of thought that was even possible.

This is classic

Love the 351

Merry Christmas

The Crystal either has no AR or terrible AR. It's the biggest problem with the watch IMO. After you own it for a while it will drive you crazy. If you are resourceful, you can pick up a double AR replacement crystal.

Stop crying and fight your father!

Happy Festivus!!

Bangla road in Phuket....wait no...that's hookers. My bad.

Time to call the colonel. Extra Crispy is delicious!

Madman, that video is awesome. "the similarities between the two cars is striking...they both have four doors and they both have the same Michelin tires" LMAO. And I happened to purchase both of these in the same weird red color to make you think they are more alike when they really have nothing in common. LoL
