Firstly, these intrinsic problems can be said of all rep movements. Including the Clone movements. Granted the 7750 should have a good servicing just like any other movement.. several members have had their SWISS 7750s die on them as well. And the swiss 7750 watches generally cost double the price or more. Most all trusted watchmakers on the various forums will work on A7750s so i don´t see the "intrinsic" problem. Quality control procedures are something that all movements lack. not only 7750s. If you´re argument is that an A7750 is crap.. please compare it to something. Compared to a Gen 7750?? Nearly same reliability with servicing buddy. Different parts? Regardless of whether you buy a swiss or asian from our dealers, you should still get it serviced..and our trusted modders here will charge the same to work on one as the other... So... you´ve still got someone that will work ont he movement.. or your saying you don´t trust our online modders to work on your watches?? Lastly... if the asian 7750 is so bad.. why have none of our experts supported your theory?

@kalvilmer.. still havent heard on your source about the 7750 being a POS.. i´d be interested to know @legend1.. No problem. I´m located in europe. It´s always a bit more risky sending your watch internationally.. so if you´re located in the states.. its probably safest if you find someone over there. Some guys were talking about a guy in the midwest named Katt that does quality work for good prices. We generally don´t quote from whom and what prices we get our watches serviced for since, the price is really between the modder and the member, but I can tell you that a good servicing doesnt need to cost more than the price of a new movement despite what some people have said on this thread. If you´re willing to send your watch to spain, Francisco is great. Give him a shoutout and see if he can take on your watch. His price is dependent upon the labor, and whether or not he has to replace parts. So he´ll give you an estimate and then tell you what the total cost is after its been repaired. hope this helps

doh!! don´t you feel.. well um.. WRONG??? 3 points for me!!!! hahha

that´s pretty

yeah.. the majority of our membership is U.S. based

fairly easy fix for a skilled watchsmith. If the hand is not seated well, it requires taking it off and reseating it.

Wish you had consulted beforehand. It's pretty established, that the preservice is nothing. In fact, in some cases we've seen people pay for a pre-service and have received watches with dry movements. It's pretty much a scam. If they're not good enough to service the watch before they ship it to you.. it doesn't make sense to pay them to service it beforehand.. when they should have done it in the first place. It's just another way for them to make money. Besides, the watch makers we have here ont he forum are much more experienced than any of the people that are working for our dealers. The 7750 is a completely great movement. The question is whether or not you get it serviced. If it's properly (and regularly)serviced, it will last you quite a long time. Maybe you get lucky and they service your movement.. but I wouldn't bet on it. Lesson learned. If you're watch stops soon, that means that the dealer didn't touch it. If it doesn't stop soon.. it doesn't necessarily mean that the dealer touched it either. This game is a crap shoot when it comes to your watch running.. but now you know that next time it stops.. get it serviced by one of our trusted guys here my .02cents

haha.. yeah Wat... someone told me that you're the originator Superocean Steelfish sounds great.

Try not to inundate his box with Mails.. I know you're worried about your watches, but he'll eventually get to you. Francisco travels for his work often (Watchmaking is not his job and is only a hobby). He very well might have 10 other people doing the exact same thing as you and sending him "lots" of pms about the status of their watches. More than likely he answers his emails and messages in the order he receives them. He'll let you know, just relax. One email is enough. my .02cents -Fender

we're not talking about the sides... we're talking about the edges... the place where the sides meet the top of the case take that bet.. and I'll give you my francisco modified Pam 253

buy it.. you won't be disappointed

from ATL! represent! But been living in europe for the last 7 years

You forgot the other solution... Not spending a lot of money and having your rep serviced. I've never paid over $60 for a full servicing of a chronograph movement. (and that was by one of the most reputable modders here on the forum )

I don't see what kind of plating they would put on top of stainless steel... Stainless steel cases are solid stainless steel.. There's no plating involved in the polishing process.. Just lots of jewelers rouge and a polishing wheel.. If it's bronze beneath your polished watch.. it's not a solid stainless steel watch. There'd be no point in the dealers to take a stainless steel case.. dip it in bronze or brass.. just to put chrome plating on it again. They would have done like they do with most watches. forged and cut a piece of stainless steel... The polished it

boobies

Ok... what has happened to me..???? I've ALWAYS thought that this watch was a hideous over-sized wrist-grenade. Today I just realized that I kinda like it!! possible graham in my future???????? hmmmm

both my e2c and se210 had cord stiffening problems which eventually led to cracking

Don't get yourself down pr0digy!! Time for a new watch!!!

The build quality of the shures is horendous... and comfort of the 535 is better than my old se210s but not much. The Westones rock and use comply foam tips and don't even protrude out of the ear. the flatest earphone i've ever tried. amazing.

sexiest movement ever! wow...

ahh ok. But where did you read that the A7750 is a POS?? The Zigmeister as well as Francisco (the best watchmakers we have), have done various reviews of the movement and it's just as good and robust as any ETA or Valjoux 7750 with a good servicing. It's no less reliable unserviced than a gen ETA 2824.. The standard Asian 7750 is a great movement and very robust, The AP seconds at 12 used to be unreliable, but the factories have since fixed the problem by adding an extra jewel, so in theory, the new APs should be just as good as any other 7750 (swiss or asian for that matter).

You are the man!

damn... not this freakin thread again!

now if you can just get that crystal...
