rytrilius Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 You reckon they'll sell just the dial? I need that dial for my 7753 250. If some one just wants the movt for a teardown, we can share the cost...hehehe Siesta, if the old school 196 dial fits on the A7753 I might just share the coat with u! I'm in sg too btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Three words: Breitling Tricompax Navitimer ;o) Not going to happen guys. Had a message from Josh this morning regarding a 7753 Navi, and he pointed out something that I had completely forgotten about. The 7753 (and the A7753) change date via a pusher at the 10:00 position. The Navitimer however uses a slightly modified 7753 that sets the date by running the time back and forth over 12:00 AM. The only option the have would be to make a rep with an extra pusher hole at 10:00, or have no date set mechanism whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply run the time over midnight to change the date. Of course, for several days you have to run the time through several days... Gen navitimer works exactly that way and does not have a quick set date! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 good to know, thanks champ DW overlay on a 7750 is still the best bet, i really wish someone could offer this At the very least this will give access to cheaper movements to create a franken with. Old school fighters case, gen tricompax dial, A7753, and you've pretty much got all the parts you need, except the ever illusive date wheel Would a rep be so bad with a pusher button at 10:00?

Oh if life could be simple. x 22 i think it boils down to living with which ever is the lesser of two evils - recessed DW or hole in the case being that i have a couple of watches that could use this 7753 with the quick set date @ 10, i'm not entirely disappointed with this new development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w0lf Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Looks like we may have several of A7753 teardowns in the works As soon as I got my 236 last week I mailed it off to The Zigmeister for dissection and evaluation. Eagerly looking forward to what he has to say, as I'm sure everyone else across all rep boards. The Zigmeister A7750 teardown was absolutely legendary!
