sgtguk Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Bugger that's not good mate ! I'm sure someone will be able to offer some advice on it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkal Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yes gutting indeed. Said to myself I would attempt repair on my next broken watch, but not this one..... Phong reckons it has a year warrantee but thinking a local watchsmith would be best. Can anyone tell from the pic if it's a repairable movement?

Mapman57 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Well if that is the issue it can certainly be replaced..........I have a Landeron 248 having the same repair just now. Replacement part was approx <£15 from Cousins UK - not sure if they stock a 7734 part - possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymanmatt Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 The hair spring is broken. That is a part you should be able to source. Remember, It has got to be the exact hairspring for that movement, oterwise you will never be able to regulate the watch. If you get the wrong one it will run to fast or to slow. For a smith, not a big job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 broken hairspring......make sure you get the right one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Looks to me like it just popped out of the two rollers on the adjustment arm maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Looks to me like it just popped out of the two rollers on the adjustment arm maybe. +1 Can't see what else should be wrong. The hair spring is definitely not broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 The hairspring sure looks wonky. It looks like it's bent. What is the watch doing? There must be some sort of hairsprinfg virus going around lately, my Doxa seems to have had a problem with the hairspring, not as serious as yours however.

Sparkal Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hey guys, Thanks for the all the replys. I have been using a new phone and still getting use to posting via it. Symptoms are small running seconds will stop randomly, when I notice that it has stopped I can press the chrono run button and it will come back to life. then chrono stop and reset and it will run on fine like that for a day or so. Then repeat the process again. It keeps okay time in general though. Apologies for the random post and messages, sleep has been hard to come across this weekend, I need to go back to work to recover!

Rolexman Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I just serviced a 7750 that had the same exact problem it was super dirty and the oscalating pinnion was broken. In your case that what seems to be the problem. What the oscalating pinnion does is when you press the chrono start button it slides over to produce power to the chronos second hand. It runs constantly when not powering the chrono hand so It might be out of place or broken. This movement does not have an oscillating pinion. Probably debree getting jammed between some gears somewhere (second transfer gear perhaps?). Your movement looks as dirty as the bottom of my shoe... Here's a 7734 I recently serviced and how it is supposed to look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
