rionrlty Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm looking for someone to repair my Navitimer fighters. It has a 6 year old broken A7750. The watch looks great so I would like to put in a gen 7750. Also the bezzle is loose and needs repair. It is super glued in place right now. I would also like the AR to be done as the watch never had any. Please contact me if you know of someone or can do it yourself. I am in Southern California, US. rionrlty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Shame your bezel is stuck with superglue, I was about to suggest the dental floss trick to tighten it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rionrlty Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Actually I did that first with string but it loosened up more so I used string and superglued it in place. It looks fine and I can't see well enough anymore to use the slide rule function anyway. I sure would like to get the movement transplant and AR done though. I love that watch and now they don't make it anymore. rionrlty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Sounds like that watch is ready to become spare parts instead of fixed. The movement is dead so you need to replace it +- $300 for an ETA if you can find one. Ad labor costs. After market AR is almost impossible to source now a days. Fixing a super glued bezel is a hell of a job and getting that to turn properly again is almost a mission impossible.You first need to get the bezel of. Clean all the super glue and tighten all the bezel retaining screws underneath. My guesstimation is that you would come close to $500....the watch simply isn't worth it in my opinion.

NaviChief Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I've got over $500 into this fighters-turned-old navi (including straps) and its worth every penny to me. The OP does have quite a bit of work ahead of him but there is a lot of potential for learning and fun as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seriph Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I want one but not when the caseback has such horrendous spelling errors - if a gen CB was available for reasonable money the timepiece would be a worthy project IMHO - been waiting for several years now and all I have to show for it is a 100% gen box (inner and outer) with all papers.
