gymbound Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) Got my Big Egi back from pbdad today and love the vintaging that has been done. Big problem though, the watch is running intermitantly. When it stops a little giggle will start it running again. I am unfamiliar with a hand wind 7750, anyone got advice. I will be posting pics tomorrow. It was supposed to read ISSUES sorry for the typo. Edited September 12, 2009 by gymbound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 wooo, it could also be something inside the gears. As I have many many replica's going through my hands, my watch smith tells me that in case a watch stops all of a sudden, DO NOT shake it to get it running again. When being stopped a good watch smith can find the problem more easily. So the repair can be not expensive. Otherwise a full overhaul will be the answer. And that is expensive, at least 175-200 usd. Good luck (finding a good watch smith who HAS worked on A7750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hambone Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I got mine from DSN, and the 7750 is delicate the way its set up. Did yours come from DSN? I had to send it back cecause it stopped, I think I may have wound it to tightly. but if you send it back to him, he will fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dang99 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 My Egi from DSN just do power reserve only 20-30 Hrs. not 40 Hrs up. Maybe this 7750 for this watch just basically, But anyway, I still happy when them. He the best of Panerai!!! AAAA++++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busher Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) My big Egi from DSN arrived 6 weeks ago. My experience was that the seconds hand worked but the minutes hand only intermittantly. I just kept winding it, changing its position and now it is working fine. I agree with the member who said the Egi has a rather conplex and sensitive movement with perhaps a mod by DSN. It seems very sensitive to any sort of shock. Also the position of the CROWN must be perfect for winding. If not it will free wheel or even be difficult to turn. So, I would ... 1. Carefully check to position of the crown and make sure the watch is actually wound as it can fool you. 2. Try different positions of the watch 3. Observe it for a few days as it can take that long to 'find' itself. Otherwise ... Write DSN as his/her mail response is excellent Send it to DSN as this movement seems to be very tricky to get going Patience is the strategy and best of luck!
