But how would that explain several years for perfect running Mike? Would the friction issue still be present though?

Found it, this is the dial I have been looking for..

Another variant...

Here's one, there is another variant too..

There is a gen with black stick dial, and black sub-dials Spotted a photo of someone wearing one on TRF in the none-Rolex watches area. Looks superb!

Great minds, I guess I will probably go for this Roman model too, and then look to get a genuine black stick dial, and franken it. Found this one, but not correct.. https://www.chrono24.fi/breitling/dial-zifferblatt-chrono-sextant-z204--id2325741.htm?accessoryTypes=2003&watchTypes=Z&urlSubpath=/breitling/dials--acc2003-2.htm&manufacturerIds=32

I do like the B01, such a nice looker for sure. Just wish there was a black stick dial with black sub-dials available. Looked everywhere and can't find one.

They are ok for cheapies, thats about it.

Do that my friend, it will put these guys minds at rest at least should he reply to your text.

Those looks so cool, and retro, kind of link tinted glass/crystal.

After reading in this thread Old School Rolex Daytona ETA 7750 of a ETA 7750 powered Daytona, with Sec@6 for sale, it got me thinking about this mentioned module that gears the Sec@6. Now obviously seeing as the above Daytona has been running flawlessly for several years, its clear this module is actually a success over the metal to metal gearing of the Asian Sec@6 gearing set up. I am aware that some modders can add jewels to the Asian to reduce friction, but what about recreating this module in this ETA 7750? I assume that if a modder, or watchmaker wishes to take on this challenge, then they would actually need to dissect this ETA7750 to find out how exactly it works? It's this what got me to the following questions.. 1. Does anyone know the Origin of this Module for Sec@6 apart from some guy in Taiwan? 2. Are there any Watchmakers out there familiar with this module, and fancy reproducing a few? 3. If yes to 2, please post in this thread and let us all know I am positive many members who would love a Daytona with Sec@6 would be very interested in this, as the current Asian Sec@6 issues is a big put off, and prevents us from enjoying a reliable Sec@6 Daytona. Looking forward to any input/advice etc.

Good on you for doing what you did, its all a learning curve, and lessons on getting to know movements better. Good luck pal.

Oh dear, lets hope he is ok, and that he will get back to you.

Post up a wanted ad, you never know, someone may still have their old 21J model from back in the day which they may sell you.

Welcome to RWGF Russ, and greetings from Finland. I am also a member over on RWG, which is my second home, obviously also a member here, and also RWG, and RG. As to the differences between RWG, and RWGF, there ain't much, but very similar

Well, I have got the franken bug big time for this great watch. So far I have ordered the following gen parts for this Tag Heuer. Gen new bracelet (paid) Deposit paid for the following.. Gen Dial Gen complete hand set Gen crown Gen pushers Gen rotor with correct Geneva stripes. Ordered from Cousins.. Silver replacement screws. Future plans once all parts here is to even replace the movement for the Gen decorated ETA 7750 too. I must be mad, but why the hell not, should be fun

Congrats

Well, I checked my notification settings, and still not getting notifications, I was using live.com email, and changed that to gmail, and started to get emails, but alas they stopped after a few days.

Beautiful.

I will double check my settings just in case, but as of this morning, nothing in my inbox.

Removed.

Cool diagram, thanks for sharing. I often wondered about tube o rings.

Welcome to RWGF

Email notifications still AWOL. Looking forward to that being fixed too, as missing out on quite a few posts.
