Grandpa88 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I have a gorgeous ROO Black Themes with a gen ETA 7750 movement. Is there any way to convert the movement from the second hand at position 9 to position 12? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSentier Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yes, turn it for 90 degrees... ;-) sorry for that, really don't KNOW. Can ask my WM on friday. Cheers, j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosk Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yes, turn it for 90 degrees... ;-) sorry for that, really don't KNOW. Can ask my WM on friday. Cheers, j NO...the dial is different...subdial spacing. the case is also a bit different since the sec at 12 movement is thicker. U're better off buying a used sec @12.

RWG Technical Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Bosk is correct, just buy the one with the movement already with the seconds at 12. You can't use an ETA for these modified A7750 models, the parts are not interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Indeed not possible. If you are looking for high reliability as you also swapped the a7750 for a ETA, then let the sec @ 12 movement have a full service/overhaul. As Zigmeister also said earlier today/this week, the seconds@ 12 is a good reliable movements but has the same problems as all A7750 and that is dirty movements. Having a full overhaul will make it just as good/nearly as good as a ETA 7750 would run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
