Devedander Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 What I am asking is let's say I pick up a watch that runs on an unmodified asian 7750... I don't get it serviced and in a year or two it fails... Is it usually pretty easy to pick up a gen 7750 and swap it in rather than repair the broken asian copy?

Remember that the hand hole sizes are different for the new Asian 7750s with a Valjoux 7750..( There was a The Zigmeister post about that too...) Sooo it will be the ripe time to source that gen hands that you always want. It also depends on the model.. the 7750s that I know of have running seconds at 9 (not at 6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 It also depends on the model.. the 7750s that I know of have running seconds at 9 (not at 6) This is why he stated 'unmodified' I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchlover321 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Ahh.. I misunderstood the unmodified part... sorry Deve However it's still true that the newer Asian 7750 have different hand sizes than the Valjoux 775-.. so watch out for that This is why he stated 'unmodified' I believe.

Chronus Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I think parts of the Asian 7750 for the hands can be swapped into the ETA 7750 movement as well, but ideally get the genuine hands so you have a 100% ETA movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
