jamesfl Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited October 27, 2012 by jamesfl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 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.

ActionZzZ Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 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?

jamesfl Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'll ask another question... what you describe is true for any watch on based A7750? not only IWC? No, the issue described is specific to the IWC 3714. See hooky's post above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakeview10 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 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?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, what replica buy, that would not have a problem with movement? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickdangerous Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Movement a7750 break any way or at specific conditions? Hooky answered your question already, go back and read #3. a7750 secs@6 are ALL prone to failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickdangerous Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 lol I wouldn't go that far! You're just learning your way around the rep world. Golden rule: read a LOT before purchasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneed12 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Most of these movements will have a problem within 1 year. [censored]. Yes, some have problems. Not "most." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 a7750 secs@6 are ALL prone to failure. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickdangerous Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
