Here's my Swiss 7750-powered, relumed, OEM day/date wheel masterpiece:

VERY Nice. HKTan has PM.

THE WINNER IS PIRATEDZEUS

THANK BRO JUST WANT TO SHOW OFF...WITH ALL MY RESPECT

That was mean.

GOOD NEWS:has just realesed from China

I have just bought from local dealer THIS:

Exciting! How much? Where can i get one?

Does anyone have some names of rep-friendly watchsmiths on this board? Seems like a lot of guys that used to do it aren't in the game anymore and I need to get a 7750 regulated. Thanks!

Does anyone have this on a black (or brown I guess) pilot strap with screws? In my head I really want that but wanted to see what it looked like if anyone is rolling that way. Great review!

I've always wondered: With so many Big Pilot-like watches (and cases) on the market, why can't anyone produce a good rep of the Big Pilot?

Any ideas what this badboy is? I want one!

OK, so I think I've got it figured out. The minute hand is somewhat bent, causing the second hand to stop when it hits. Annoying, however I was planning to get it superlumed anyway so this seems like something that could be fixed by my modder. My new question: Since The Zigmeister is busy until July, whoelse in CONUS does this sort of thing (quasi mods and lume)?

More clues:

When screwing the crown back in, I hear a click like the sound you hear when the date is being changed. Nothing changes on the watch face, but clearly something in the movement is moving.

The date also sometimes will not change no matter how many times you wind it in the 'date' notch.

Both minute and hour hand are noticeably bent. Are all SFSO's this way?

Really frustrating because I've had the watch only 1 month but I've grown to love it a great deal.

Do these clues together make more sense? Help!! Thanks!

my fish stops exactly at 11:50 every time. i recently found out that it is because the hour hand hits the top of the protruding breitling logo at 12. i am going to attempt to fix it myself, but i dont know if i should.

The minute hand is somewhat bent, perhaps causing the second hand to stop when it hits. I can't really see it touching perse and it doesn't happen every time the second hand touches the minute hand...

Try advancing the tim manually about 48hrs. There may be a slight bit of resistance that can be worked out.

Thanks for the advice, but I tried it and no dice.

Take it to a professional... if you've never this before.

Thanks guys. Anyone know of a rep-friendly watchsmith in Phoenix?

Okay, thats strange then..

Yeah, maybe I should give it a shot. Any idea how hard it is to take this sucker apart? Never done that before. Tricks/tips?

It stops exactly when the second hand is where the minute hand? Is the second hand getting caught on the minute hand by any chance?

Good thought. Looking at it through the crystal I don't think so. Looks like it has proper clearance.

Any ideas? My 3 month old SFSO has stopped. If I wind in manually it will start again but will inevitably stop when the second hand catches up to the minute hand. Has anyone seen this? Any fixes that I can try myself? Thanks!

Count me in for 1 COMEX.

How do you order online for that price?

I, too would like to know this.
