Might want to do use the search feature on the various forums. The 3714 has know issues with the movement and has been discussed in lenght many many times.

Hi,

the A7750 with seconds @ 6 movements have known reliability issues. Normally with these movements the seconds is at 9. But now they made a train of extra gears to put the seconds at 6. This will create lots of drag on the movement and also create more dirt, because some gears are turning not on jewels, but on metal.

So it results in low power reserve and grinding movements, which won't run. To real solution for this. Most of these movements will have a problem within 1 year.

Thanks for answers, I'm a newbie.

I'll ask another question... what you describe is true for any watch on based A7750? not only IWC?

If yes, what replica buy, that would not have a problem with movement?

No, the issue described is specific to the IWC 3714. See hooky's post above.

I'm glad I found this post as was going to place an order only yesterday for a IWC 3714. I've been looking for a reliable IWC rep for a while now. Anyone got any ideas to go for??

Portifino is a nice replica.

It's problematic for the A7750 where the seconds runs at the 6. This includes the IWC 3714 and Rolex Daytona, I believe. It's some sort of Rolex but I'm not sure the model

lol

they exist with quartz? )

[Guest]

They do. There's a thread that discusses this not even a month ago.

The dial appearance is a little different

Hooky answered your question already, go back and read #3.

a7750 secs@6 are ALL prone to failure.

Sorry. I'm stupid noob with bad English )

lol I wouldn't go that far! You're just learning your way around the rep world. Golden rule: read a LOT before purchasing.

Put down some more money and go franken

And read a LOT before posting.

Most of these movements will have a problem within 1 year.

Yes, some have problems. Not "most."

I've owned about a dozen without a problem.

If you buy a $200 rep, and it dies in 2 years... just buy another one. Sell the dead one for parts.

[rickdangerous]

Please don't confuse the newbie. It's a fact that ALL secs@6 7750's have early/high failure rates. There's just no way around it unless you service them once a year (unrealistic). Secs@6 7750 is a hack, not a clean movement.

[hooky]

Same goes for the seconds @ 12 modified ones, like the AP models. Also have more chance to have problems. But with those a service overhaul will help. With the seconds @ 6 models a service overhaul won't help.

I have a 3714 and it's been over a year and I have not had any issues, then again I NEVER run the chronos so to each is own. Has it been running nearly the whole year? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
