Kenank91 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 So I just purchased my first rep from a user on rwg wore it one day and the watch is dead this morning, it also makes a weird clicking sound when the rotor sounds the rotor spins counter clockwise. Any clue on what it can be and who can repair it. Also approximate cost of repair would be nice. Thanks ahead of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hello, and welcome to the replica collector's help line First thing ... Swiss and Asian 77x0 movement rotors only wind in one direction not both. The clicking you hear from the rotor is it free-wheeling in the direction it does not wind. Have you tried to gently wind it by the crown 40x .. slowly and gently! The swiss and asian 77x0 movement does not like to be hand wound! Since you do not say where in the World you are, I assume it's the USA. There are a few watchmakers on the Forums who can easily service and repair a 77x0 movement. Trusted watchsmith "14060 or 16610?" on RWI publicly states his price for a 7750 as $175 USD Since this is your first replica watch, Im going to just assume this is your first mechanical watch as well, and there is a 90% chance you simply don't understand how one works and are assuming incorrectly that it is broken. I hope this is the case. Let us know how winding the watch works out. PS - don;t feel bad about your 7750 .. they all need service! It's not just yours. If you have it fixed by someone who knows the proper procedures, it will certainly run for you for another 5 trouble free years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 He got it started by winding it, I gave the same advice... the watch had a 40+ hour power reserve when I shipped it a few days ago, I don't think it needs a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americano Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 My big problem is finding a good watchmaker in Spain. Those that existed a year ago have disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
