mefor22 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi... I am looking for asian 79350 (IWC) / Modified 7750 movement to replace my current one. Do you know where to get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drury Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'd like to See IWC modifying an a7750 try One of the trusted dealers, maybe they sell spares ... otherwise your Best bet would Be an IWC rotor I suppose. but honestly, why bother? It won't look accurate anyway, just go with a normal a / swiss 7750 cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Swiss ETA 7750 is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texski Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Why wouldn't you just have that one serviced? Or let me ask first, how old is it and what is wrong with it? The last fresh A7750 sec@6 needs work, won't run in all positions. Although the latest movements are improved, I wouldn't say they are better. A, Starting tomorrow! And other good news.

mefor22 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanx for the info. I wish I could get Swiss ETA 7750 for the replacement. Unfortunately it is not as straightforward as it seem. IWC modified ETA 7750 to accommodate their second dial at the bottom and minutes on top (Portuguese 3714). I bought a rep which I found the sub dials are not correspond to ori. My current rep has date (top dial) and 24-hour (bottom dial). That's the reason I would like to get a replacement. Thus is there anyway to get a replacement or I should live wit it? I has been thinking to replace the parts with ori but have no idea where to start.

superlative Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I have a 3717 movement, hands and dial that I'm selling. I PM'ed you about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I PM'ed you about it. won't help him, different layout. sounds like you have a faux-chrono, I don't think a spare movement will be an easy fit! (meaning you have a 21j movement and no a7750) maybe the best would be to get a new secs@6 rep, probably wouldn't even be much more and sell yours! cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine came from a 3717. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure the A7750 sec @ 6 is what you are looking for. The watch you describe has hands that point to the date in a subdial at 12, and a 24 hour counter at 6. The A7750, or the IWC 79350 for that matter, has a chrono minute counter at 12, and constant seconds at 6. I would say that this is a pretty specific movement, and if it is Asian, it may be difficult to source. You still haven't told us what is wrong with the watch. If you like it, I would suggest having it serviced. If it needs parts, you may be out of luck. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mefor22 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hi Mike, You were right. I am looking for A7750 with sec@6. Mike, there is nothing wrong with my current rep. Its only date@12 and sec@6 that bothers me. drury... I think I bought a faux-chrono. Can't do anything now except to replace it with gen parts.
