Sunken Date Wheel Mod

[bjl3910]

I'm new to the forum...about 6 or 7 months. I have read a few posts about the Sunken date wheel problem with the 7750 movements. There's a great tuto on the mod and it seems like a real complex one... I mean I didn't even know what the hell a laith was before I read it. LOL. I wanted to now if anyone has done it and how it turned out. I tried to PM the guy who posted the tutorial and couldn't. So I am turning to the community for help. I have several reps that eploy this movement, and for the most part I don't care. But I have one rep that I am going to do some work on. I have found a gen dial, strap, and deployant for the watch and now I want to either drop a 7753 movement into the watch or have this mod done. if anyone else is facing this dilema, search "sunken date wheel mod" and check out the tutorial. Its awesome. A lot of great info. The person who posted it really knows their stuff. I think their username is Francisco. At any rate it was good stuff. Persoanlly I had no idea that so much went into modding these watches. It realy gave me a new found respect for you guys that build these franken watches. I can really see where you could get hooked on building your own reps. I think I may end up going in that direction. Anyway, I am looking forward to hearing what some of you guys with a lot of experience have to say on the matter. I wonder if doing this mod is even cost effective, considering that the rep only cost abot 300 bucks.
