A7750 in New Breitling Super Avenger keeps stopping

[436NR]

Hey Guys!

I need a little help here please!

I have an H-Fac A7750 that stopped yesterday and wouldn't restart. I thought I had read somewhere on RWG that there's a known issue with these and that readjusting the regulator arm fixed it, but I have not been able to find it. So I went ahead and readjusted the arm but couldn't restart it without a gentle nudge of the balance wheel.

I've been playing with it all day by readjusting the beat. I just closed the back because she's running at a good rate, well 24 hrs will tell me more. I put her on my wrist and it stopped again. I opened her up and it took a gentle nudge of the balance wheel for it start up again. Pulling the crown out and back in didn't start her up. I'm not sure if there's something binding the balance up.

Now, I think it's important to note that I did remove the movement from the case when I got her about two weeks ago because of dust on the face. In addition to that, the crown was unscrewing from the stem. I torqued the crown down into the stem and its fine now. But... Is the stem now binding something in the movement? I have worn the watch a few times in the past two weeks and have it wound so it hasn't stopped since I got her. Yesterday is the first time that she stopped on me. I'd prefer not to send her back if its something that I can fix with a little guidance.

Many thanks!

Paul

Sounds like its time for a service.

Still if factories don't lube them properly.

I guess I was very fortunate that I got 5 yrs out of the A7750 that was in my Skyland v2. Just shows how unpredictable this movement can be out of the box. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free
