Hello everyone,
New member here and my first post to this forum.
I have a small collection of reps, some ETA, some A7750. In this game, like a lot of you already know, you have to factor in a certain amount of risk. Luckily, with the exception of a couple of A7750's (one Daytona and one Panerai flyback), all have worked very well.
I recently purchased a rep RM011 with A7750 movement (around 2 weeks back). The watch itself looks really good (fooled a couple of people here and there), but as many have said, the date font is wrong.
Anyways, I am having problems with the following:
- The "sweeping" second hand is on the dial located at "3 o'clock", and appears quite jerky in movement
- Power reserve is a real problem - I have hand wound the crown in the direction of resistance for around 10-15 rotations, slowly, and relied on hand-swirling (rotor clockwise direction) for the rest. Doesn't work effectively. Only when I hand wind the crown for 40+ rotations, do I get more than 24 hours of power reserve
Any comments / views from those experienced in these matters would be great. I live in London - do the forum recommend any people who can service the watch (if need be, which I think it will need!), especially with a A7750 movement?
Very much appreciated,
Pat.
