Thanks to Domi in Germany, it seems that I will be able to source the seconds hand that I need. Thank you for your assistance guys!! I will let you know how it goes..

So I have purchased a gen ETA 7750 movement for my IWC 3717. Unfortunately, as I have later found out, the seconds hand set does not fit. I was wondering if someone knows where I can get a seconds hand (or a complete set as a last resort) of the IWC 3717 to fit the gen ETA 7750 movement. Or how to modify the seconds hand that came with the watch to fit the new movement.... I tried messaging a few people but haven't gotten a definite response, and I am stuck without my watch! (By the way, if anyone wants a spare 7750 Asian movement for cheap, let me know.) Thanks!

Hi guys, I now have the ETA 7750 which I purchased off the 'bay for around 290

Wow, great replies. Thanks you guys... Can you post a link to this ebay guy? Also, how difficult is the modification? My watchmaker seems quite good and seems willing to work on my rep, but probably doesn't know as much about reps as Zig. Thanks again for your assistance!

Hi all, I am looking to purchase a gen ETA 7750 movement in EU, to transplant into my IWC 3717. The watch was purchased from PT (UK) last fall. Do you guys know if it will fit? I thought about the ebay, but would be worried I am stuck with another Asian 7750 with all its problems and worries. I have a good watchsmith to do the transplant, I just have to get the movement. If you have any ideas, let me know. Thanks!

Hi RobbieG, Like many others here, I haven't had the chance to interact with you previously. However, it seems there is something that brings us all together when a fellow human being is going through so much health difficulties and pain. Health is a funny thing. We take it for granted when we have it, not paying attention to it (even doing things to destroy it, like smoking). And then when we don't have it any more, we would do anything to get our health back, even give up on our "most treasured" toys, like you said. That's life I guess. Having lost my father to cancer, the one thing I realize is that what you probably need most now is hope, for you and for your family. Have a search on Google for Randy Pausch, and his "Last Lecture". Even though it's a sad story in the end (Randy passed away), it's also a story full of hope. Randy fought through his illness all the way. He also lived his last few month to the full, like you are doing, and he managed to leave a legacy behind for his family and children. Honestly, the last lecture video is something you have to watch ... Some of his most memorable words, that I have glued on my wall, are: "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, only how we play the hand..." I hope your doctors manage to find what is tormenting you, and give you the right therapy to cure it. As such, I wish you speedy recovery. And don't lose your hope...

This has been a topic on my mind recently, so I'd like to pitch in my 0.02

Congrats on a great watch Pug. Believe it or not, your photos of the rep Moonwatch a long time ago, fueled my interest in one. As you already know, I am now looking left and right for an accurate replica of it, but to no avail. If there was a good offer on a used one, I'd consider it very seriously!!! Wear it well!

Good news! Hopefully there is a moonwatch in the grapevine using this movement as well! Thanks for the update...

Do you guys know if there will be a rep of this? I was under the impression our dealers were working on a co-axial Speedmaster...

Any news on this?

Stephane, like everyone else said... FANTASTIC collection and write up!! Wear them in good health... Which one do you prefer wearing?
