I will do my best to document both the successes and the failures for everyone's enjoyment.

You're right, I'm sure I'll fail miserably but it couldn't hurt to open up the back and have a look around. I mean really this is a hobby and I think all of us want to learn more about the watches and movements and not just collect stuff. I'm never going to get anywhere close to being on par with the people here if I don't try. What better place to start than with a broken watch. But thanks so much for the references guys. I'll need them to actually fix the watch after I get done messing around. Cheers everyone.

Looks like I'll be servicing it myself. Might as well dive in head first. Here we go!!!

Thanks, can anyone suggest someone who can service it in the LA area?

I have an A7750 with a busted Chrono in my Ebel 1911. Everything else seems to be working fine. Is that a repare or just replace the movement? I've heard that the A7750 can be had for $50 bucks. Can anyone direct me to where those are because I couldn't find one on the bay. What about putting an authentic 7750 in it? I found one on ebay for $450 but it's coming from Switzerland. Isn't there something closer? (I'm in LA) I've read posts in here that have said the A7750 is just as good as the Gen if you get one that's put together without pieces of food and other contaminents in it. I guess therein lies the rub. Qualifications: No watch experience but 10 years as an engineer. Basically, I'm very comfortable with mechanical stuff. Plus I'm not sure how I could make things worse considering it's already broken.
