Got a rep 3714?....can you tell me...

How much looseness or wobble do you have in the pushers?

TIA.

I would estimate the pusher buttons have about 2 mm of play, while the stem has none. The same for both a7750 model and quartz rep. The gen has about 1 mm of play.

Thanks - anyone else? Same on their watches?

 

I got a lovely Franken recently and am doing a few upgrades, but having had the gen I noticed the pushers are quite wobbly and nothing in comparison to the original (the rest is quite good though). My smith looked at it and said the case is nice but they cut corners (all the reps I'm guessing) on the pushers. Instead of a case extension and then then pusher receeding into this with waterproofing design, the rep simply has holes for receiving single piece pushers and screw-ins behind to keep it attached. It works for starting.stopping and reseting the chrono but he said based on the design, you could do all you'd like to the rest of the case but the pushers would make her leak like a seive. Guess I'll keep this one away from all forms of water - including bathroom steam!
