Maldo76 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I dropped my tag carrera from up high on cement floor. Incredibly the case and glass does not have a single scratch but the movement stopped is asia 7750. Ok I'm not an expert on the automatic movement but the pendulum seems fine, seems like something is loose inside. What are your suggestions for best way of fixing it? Locoal watchsmith is the hardest for me. Don't know any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaifender Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Ziggmeister or Vacuum can do it for sure. Not sure about their prices but for a full servicing i usually pay between 60 and 75usd. They might charge a bit more though. Get in touch with them!

RWG Technical Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Well from that description of the drop, most likely you have broken at the minimum the balance wheel. And there is probably more damage to the movement. The movement should be fully serviced so that it can be fully inspected, doing the servicing and replacing a broken balance wheel is going to cost over $200, probably $225 and up...depending on how many new parts you need replaced. Movements and cement floors don't mix, it is most likely beyond economical repair... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldo76 Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Wow if thats the case, is better to get a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldo76 Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Its a shame because the case and the glass is in mint perfect condition. Not a single scratch. But I had a feeling you were going to tell me that. It hit hard on the floor I knew it was bad from the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 You should at least have it looked at so you know the extent of the damage, but I think it will at the minimum require a new balance assembly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
