satish_sell Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hey guys I love APs and the reps these days are pretty darn close to the real thing. However i have been burned once by a seconds at 12 AP rep that died on me within 4 months. I started snooping around here, and it seems like there is a way to prevent this premature death? some kind of a service? Do you knw where I can get this done (I dont have a watch guy), if there is someone i can send the watch to to make more reliable the seconds at 12 movement (i live in Virginia). I just looked at at he Barichello rep and I am floored - the only thing stopping me is the dodgy mvmnt. Thank you guys for all help S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satish_sell Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thank you Neverworn, good to hear. Anybody else concur? Are the barichello reps stable and not in need of mechanical mods? Also wondering if there is any difference in complexity if I try to fix the watch once it dies vs pre-emptive service when its still functioning Thanks again S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Most good watch smith's that can service ETA 7750 can also service asian 7750. But you need to find a good watch smith. And yes, you can try Zigmeister. My own watch smith charges 175euro for Asian 7750 and 225euro for seconds @ 12/6 movements. I think Zigmeister is more experienced with Asian 7750.
