z3k0 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hmm, are you sure that chrono runner is needed for 7032 45min conversion ? I did it (successfully) on my movement using just two parts - 8120 Sliding Gear and 8040 Minute Recording Runner. Chrono runner is the same, AFIK. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Red: I think this is the wrong part! This is an 8000/3 for a Valjoux 22, and I don't believe similarly numbered parts are transferrable to other movements (unless they're related e.g. 7733/7734/7736). An 8000/3 for a Valjoux 7734 ought to be 8.9mm high. (Thanks to deja for the detective work.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just contacted the seller and he says the part he has is 8.90mm in height, so that should be the correct one, shouldn't it? I guess we'll find out soon enough as I had already bought one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboombasteke Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I just contacted the seller and he says the part he has is 8.90mm in height... That seems inconsistent with what's on the ebay listing. I hope it works though. While we're on the subject of 7032s, where can I get a good bracelet?

redwatch Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 "Red, mate, you look like a nice fella, so I'll let you have the extra 0.45mm at no cost!" Thanks buddy!!! Well, turns out that you were correct. Although the 8000/3 part number is the same, this is NOT the same part at all. The seller was asking me what the difference was between the 8000 and the 8000/3? Was this ever established? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 The seller was asking me what the difference was between the 8000 and the 8000/3? Was this ever established? I credited deja and his detective skills earlier, since he'd sherlocked the difference in height. To summarize: For the 7733/7734/7736, Part 8000 is for a 30-minute counter and 8.2mm high. Part 8000/3 is for the 45-minute counter, and is 8.9mm high. There is no other difference. The gear has the same number of teeth, and I think it's only the heart-piece that interacts with the minute-recording runner. Like Z3k0, my 7032 was converted using two parts. The chronograph works, but I'm not totally confident in it. The reset to zero is a bit iffy, and it doesn't as feel as solid as it did when it had the 30-minute gears installed. Mind you, I did drop the watch back in October, so that's one confounding factor. I'm still waiting for my 8000/3 to arrive from the UK. I'll find out then if the longer runner solves my chrono problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
