slay

Not just mine. In spite of everyone's fabulous sentiment. Mine, at a minimum, needs the second hand glued. Someone else's has a pusher problem. Asian 7750 is what it is. That is why I have been telling people to save their dollars for 7753 version.

seriously, at that price, you should have complained about that! if you pay close to 1000$ for a rep, everything better be perfect!

thats a nice DRSD... but I've already bought too many watches (and one very expensive cortebert movement for a vintage pam project!) within the last few weeks

you got pm! and thanks again

do NOT get the oakleys. a friend of mine has them, they SUCK bigtime!

seems that they manage to sell it at that prices....

bestswiss also manages to sell their submariners for 1000US$, that doesnt mean nothin!

Sorry for not posting here before. TRC has been offline due to server maintenance. Also did some DNS updates, so that's why some people have experienced problems

how come it worked with IE but not Firefox?!?

first they need to lower their prices A LOT!

a CN 217 for 355US$? MY ASS! Silix ALL the way!

530 bucks for the OLD swis 217 (and thats honpos DIRECT price, without ken's markup!)... this keeps getting better lol

You can strike the dealer theory. One each from Eddie (196), Andrew (Breitling), Sean (24) and now Ken (187) although I suspect it will only require gluing the hands. The basic mechanism looks good.

your 187 has issues??!?

The $175 buys me a hell of a lot more than fixing the beatrate. It gets my 7750 serviced. You could say that the $175 buys me peace of mind.

Oh, and I do realise Asspire is selling the GST for $199, but ... well, you know.

I know, but maybe it didnt need service for another 2 years? We'll never know

And I know that also, BUT, first its Paul and 2nd aparently he does not have the Ti Version you have. The Ti is the only one of them I really like and the only one I would buy (and its even real, Ti, as I have heared!)

Base Price: $219 "Adjusted Total" by Moneyboogers: $235.43

That's 7.5%, I'm pretty sure. Maybe it varies according to location?

does not work... does not work... does not work!

Speaking with The Zigmeister, he said the advice I recieved to move the two things closer together was flawed. Only the inner lever should be moved. The outer one should never be moved unless you have a machine to measure it.

Because I took the advice without qualifying it, my watch now needs work to fix what I did. This essentially forced my hand and convinced me a service was the right course of action.

funny thing is, that it worked on about 9 or 10 watches of mine! and they all keep time pretty good (between 5-7sec/day), but hey, if you want to pay 175$, it is up to you of course it takes time, to regulate the watch without a beatrate machine, but it can be done, I know that, because I have done so. The Zigmeister might be the experienced watchmaker, but I KNOW what I have done and what worked, so he can say what he wants IMO

yes, but its also a fact, that for some its aparently NOT working

ähm... no I dont! I'm not [censored]in stupid, even if you think so!

i get the same " Board Offline

Moneyboogers - 7.5% fee.

where did you get that bullcrap from, brass? moneybookers charges 50cent per transaction

dunno if its chinese (there appears to be some engraving (ETA engraving), but I cant tell from the pics, they are too small).

also montblanc uses black color to paint their movement engraving and not yellow.

and still, even IF the movement is a swis valjoux, tudor does not house "montblanc" movements. watch is a rep, thats a fact

is it down again? i cant log in!

well,

this one is $699

http://www.replicacollector.com/members/in...showtopic=23154

and this one is $1199 (sold instantly...)

http://www.replicacollector.com/members/in...showtopic=23155

...apples....oranges...

still, I dont know why this one is 499$! the swiss unitas is only 75$ at ofrei

i pm'ed him about the Titanium GST... 199$ would be a nice price! he#s only got the SS version on his site, but i hope he has the Ti also

pretty expensive compared to the other ones he offered a while ago (almost identical to this one, same movement, case dial, only the hands looked a little "newer"), it was 139$!

Then we've probably stayed in the same place.

Horrible place.

-Weather indeed is great

-Since my wife is a blonde, she got all the attention and not in a positive way I mean.

-While shopping around, our 2 year old was pulled out of my arms " ah lovely baby" by a shopholder and ran off into his shop. We had to follow and he persisted on buying some of his stuf "ah you in my shop, you now buy something" .

-Don't rent a bike or car, they have different number plates for rentals and people actually aim at you while driving so they can claim for insurance.

-wath out for the food and ice cubes in you drinks, we still sufferd from food poisining a week after we returned

-Don't leave your luggage at the Hotel reception, ours got stolen.. They "found" them the day after we'd left.Bags returned with only our clothes, all other values were gone...

Tunisia....

that sounds bad

Oh, another horror story from a colleague of mine, he went on a desert trip to see an oasis and halfway the driver got out of the bus and demanded that everyone in the bus paid $40 or else he would leave the bus in the middle of the desert... It was a prepaid trip.....

He should have been like "drive us home, or I will rip your [censored]in balls of towelhead!" works wonders!

My first IWC GST Chrono was great, then the chrono didn't return to 12 and it got worse and worse. Eventually, the watch just stopped working. The dealer, PT, replaced it and the replacement arrived, but didn't keep good time at all. Rather than bother PT again, I opened it and set the +/- myself, only I took bad advice on what to change and the beat is now off.

It's booked in to The Zigmeister's.

Of course the beat is off. The two things on the balance wheel change the beatrate. if the beatrate is exactly as it should be, the watch keeps perfect time. if the beatrate is off, the watch does not keep time. you can seriously do this yourself, if you dont care about 5sec's +/- a day, I have done this a dozen of times!

Dear friends,

There is really nothing bad about the Asian 7750 movement. Many people who buy them do not know how to operate them properly and in the end when the watch decides to crank out, they blame on us for not checking watch, watch was defective from start..blah blah blah. =P

that is total [censored]. as The Zigmeister staited, most of the movements he serviced were JUNK from the factory. they had dirt in them, were not oiled properly, had boken gears and so on!

Just follow these simple rules and your Asia 7750 (whether NEW or OLD) movement will always be there for you.

also bullsheat, read the previous comment. if a watch has a crappy movement, it can die any day!

Rule 1: If you ever depress the pusher to start Chrono, always let it run for at least 15 seconds before you depress same pusher to stop it.

dunno about you, but if I spend 300$ on a watch, I expect the watch not to break in the ivent I press the pusher TWICE within 15seconds!

Rule 2: Do not depress the pusher for reset if you did not even start the chrono

this shouldnt harm the watch in any way, if its correctly fabricated

Rule 3: Do not depress the pusher for reset if the Chrono is running. You should only do that after you have depress the pusher to STOP the chrono first..then you proceed to reset it

this should also not work/harm the watch

Rule 4: If you need to change DATE , please adjust time to 4:30 before you adjust the date. Pull the screw crown out lightly twice..adjust time to 4:30 and then push it back lightly once and adjust the DATE. If not, the gears will TANGO and your movement will start to feel cranky

that is correct. also correct for genuine movements!

Rule 5: Do not meddle with the internals if you are not The Zigmeister... It needs an expert to get those internals out...

that is also 100% correct, but I doubt any of the problem happened due to the owner messin' with the internals!
