sleepsus Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I noticed on my SOC II the date wheel does not tick over completely as a result it looks like it's not aligned. It's fine though if I manually adjust the date via the crown, it lines up perfectly. Is this a common issue with the A7750 with a hopefully easy fix?

Jkay Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 The 7750 is a complicated piece of micro-machinery and more often than not, needs a professional servicing to be "100%" .. just to be certain .. you are aware that the 7750 does not "tic over" .. it slowly changes between 10pm and 2am exactly like the Swiss 7750?? And if you screw with the time change via the crown during these hours, you will break the date function, just like the Swiss 7750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I've researched the Asian 7750 has that 10pm to 2am issue addressed. Should I get it serviced? My watch smith is particular with fixing stuff that doesn't need fixing. This DW issue is an annoyance at best... Unless it's an indication of something serious? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Some a7750s have the date change issue fixed with floating flags that allow the time to be changed with in the date change time but not all. I would still not recommend changing the time between an indicated 10pm and 2 am time frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 My watch smith is particular with fixing stuff that doesn't need fixing. Sounds like you need to find a better watch smith, as this once sounds lazy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepsus Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 So I still have this DW issue, anyone know a fix for it? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I would say the same that was said above It needs a service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 At the very least, the dw to dial clearance has problems and its lightly interfering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepsus Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks, I'll have it checked out then. by the way, would an ETA 7750 be a drop in replacement? There's a chance my watch-smith can source me a refurbished one for a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yes it will with some modding of the center seconds hands and the sub dial seconds hand.. Center is a touch too small and subdial just a touch too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepsus Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 It seems it has fixed itself :-) Rotated the date wheel manually with the crown a couple of times and now it ticks into the next date perfectly. Must have needed to be bedded in? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 It could have been a hair. There are plenty of those in replica watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
