Questioin About Valjoux Asian 7750b1 Movement...

Hello,

I've been trying to learn more about this Valjoux Asian 7750b1 Movement. Is this a big improvement to the old version of the Asian 7750? Can anyone provide me with more info about it? Does it last? I tried searching, but found nothing good to read about it. How does it fair compare to the swiss Valjoux? Still a large difference?

Thanks.

According to The Zigmeister, the new IWC chrono has that movement and it's great.

Just needs to be lubricated and it's good to go.

Seems the only concern is the placement of the small seconds hand.

make sure it's at 9 O'clock, verses 6.

:)

Hello,

Thanks for the info. But since I'm new at this... it hard for me to understand what some parts mean... Does that mean that when I receive the watch, make sure the small seconds hand "the ones that goes around fastest in seconds?" is on the 9 O'clock mark before it started moving and not on the 6 O'clock? How would I go about lubricating it?

Thanks again, sorry about dumb questions.

Hi,

Let me make this more clear.

The small seconds hand is the sub-dial that has markings from zero to sixty.

That subdial is better when placed on the 9 O'clock positon, not the Six O',

as in the 7750 it creates more stress on the movement, as I believe that

the 7750 is made in the 9 seconds configuration, however some manufacturers

alter the movment to conform to watches that have 6 O' seconds.

The more modified, the more potential problems.

As for lubrication I would send it to The Zigmeister, for that, he's a pro at reps..

a claim most gen repair people cannot.

Hope this helps.

By the way... how do I contact The Zigmeister and find out the cost of things as well as service speed? Does he have a website? I think I'll sent off my rep to him to get fully serviced first before I start using it just to be sure that it'll last longer and work better. Thanks.
