If we upgrade the watch to a PVD gun/weapons PVD quality I think a double AR it's a must on this project. Let's what about the other thing on this.

At ~$300? I'll be in if the crystal will be treat with a double AR coating too and the PVD it's a gun/weapons military grade PVD quality.

Woooo that begin to tease me seriously. ... and what about send sapphire to strip the rep AR coating and treat with the industrial double AR coating from chief at the same time?

Don't bother paying for disassembling/cleaning/repairing a A7750 21k. The A7750 21k can be directly swap with a the Swiss 7750, no hands hole mod to do.

My girl friend don't want to see SOMETHINGS on me in bed. But agree wearing an automatic to wind it up during can be a good idea !!! Sleep on this !

Send your watch and mvt to The Zigmeister, he will swap the mvt and ask him to put a gen (black) swiss ETA day/date wheel. This is what I'll do with my 3717.

Hey! thanks for the hint

It looks a good time to purchase a IWC 3717 and do an organ transplant, re-lume, change day/date wheel. A lot of time to burn before having it on the my wrist

Agree with you Pug. The transfer gear tears a lot. I just base my "hypothesis" on the rep porto version with the moon phase and date complication, there's some extra gears there too, but not for a second hands, I agree, so not too much "drag" there. I assume a manual mvt is stronger, and even with extra gear for sec@6 it will be more reliable than the mod 7750 sec@6. All this is base on manual mvt is stronger than a auto mvt. But maybe I'm wrong. BTW, I just red recently (The Zigmeister review) AFTER my initial post here, a version of Asian 7750 with sec@3, and the transfer gears (transfer sec@9 to sec@3) are much better design than the current 7750 sec@6 mvt version. So maybe we will see a better version of the 7750 sec@6 eventually, I hope so. V

I ask to my optician here in Montr

Sorry about my lapse, Lemania is the real thing of course, I spam wrong infos I should be more specific; Seagull ST-19/Venus. V

Wow! that means everybody who have a porto, have a problem? V

Hi there, I think this is my first post on this forum, and I come from RWI, place where a lot of people from here are there too. I'm here and read since a month or two, but this is my first post/intervention. I ask to all of you who own a portuguese. I LOVE portuguese and think to purchase one. My question is, who have NO problem with the mvt at all. I know the 7750 sec @6 is a bad design mvt and the extra gear tears on the power, but that can be fix by frozen the second dial and removing all extra gears. So who have a portuguese for at least a period of one year without NO PROBLEM at all with a functional sec @6. If you had problem, what kind of problem. Is it a good move to buy this watch and just wait if the watch have a serious problem, and after that send it to a watchmaker to remove extra gear and freeze the sec @6 permanently? This watch cost ~$280, not cheap, is it really worth the money? Somebody hear plan that a Venus/Lemania mvt can/will replace a 7750 sec@6 mvt ? There's a moon-phase portuguese with a Lemania, why not use a Lemania for the other model too? Yes, it's a manual mvt instead of a automatic, but who cares, solid case back, you never kno, and if the mvt is a lot more reliable, the first job of a watch is to give time, and precisely. What's your input on this? V
