Broker1981 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi! I just received my AP ROO Montoya Rose Gold edition from Connie. At first glance it is a thing of beauty, and i will be posting images as soon as my lady comes home from her trip (our camera is with her). It is somewhat depressing that i don't have a snowball's chance in h... of using the watch until my specially made strap arrives from Aaron. As for the lume i think i will let it be. As you can tell from the attached picture the lumed surfaces on this watch are very small. In addition i really don't look at my watch much in the dark... As for the movement. It is an asian 7550. The second hand at 12 "shivers". It's kinda like it thinks it's "heavy" to go around. And it doesn't move in a sweeping motion. Is this normal or a problem? Any help would be much appreciated!

redwatch Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'd say it's pretty normal. Occasionally you will get lucky and get an A7750 that is in good shape, but most of the time, it's very highly recommended that you get it serviced by a rep friendly watchsmith as soon as you can. You will get many years of reliable use from it if you do. Also remember - never manually change the date when the time is between 10pm and 2am. (This holds true for the Swiss 7750 as well). It can really mess up the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broker1981 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Ok! I will contact a watchsmith asap. Are there any recommended within EU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerShot Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I think Domenico is the man inside the EU You can find him & review at he's topic here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warner Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Congratulations on your new watch. I have the same version from Connie. Mine doesn't shiver as you described above, but I would also suggest you get the sec@12 serviced to be on the safe side !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 here you have an explanation of why your watch has no smooth motion: here a couple of videos showing how the mtion improves after improving the movement: regards, Francisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
