A7750 Oops!

[jblair083]

Dropped my BM rep with a7750 onto a hard surface. When I picked it up, I noticed that it had stopped. Sounds like the rotor is spiinning freely inside. Any ideas of how much damage I caused and cost to fix? Also any idea of rep-friendly watchsmith in in the Northern NJ/NYC area?

Is this movement so delicate that it can't take such a slight shock?

my friend dropped his GEN tag Carrera on his bathroom floor. A 3 foot drop and his SWISS 7750 has stopped. He's got to pay to get it repaired now. It's not a question of asian or A7750 movements.. watch movements are simply not designed to take a lot of shock

Aren't you glad it was a Rep?

Get a replacement movement or buy a new watch.......still ahead of the game compared to the price of the Gen.

Like the statements above suggest,this could have happened to a gen. It's also easier to just get a new watch,the money to repair it most likely wont be cost effective,good luck.

Dunno what they run to repair hopefully it isn't too broken. I had sent in my A7750 for a cleaning/service and had to get a new part i think all in all it was under 200 bucks. I would send a PM to the trusted/recommended people here and ask if they would be willing to schedule you in and what kind of time frame you would be looking at.

sucks when that happens. I recently was taking off a watch to put it by the bed and I must have been a little too tired because it fell on to the floor and I was hoping it didn't do anything to it and I lucked out, no damage.

They should replicate the first patented shock system for 7750s in the world.

A Dutch invention. I heard all the major brands were at his doorstep willing to pay muchos $$$ for the patent but he refused to give it up. Instead he made his own watch.

Look here for the video!
