New JEWELED sec@6 7750

Note: this is a post I originally placed on rwg.bz so the references point to that board and the members I nominate are from there.

Nevertheless I believe this can interest more than someone here too, so I reposted here :)

So after kennycoder posted this thread here: http://www.rwg.bz/bo...howtopic=113529

I thought that one problem has been solved: now we know that the SWF Portuguese v5 have the new sec @6 7750 with good jeweled transfer gears.

But another problem arise: HOW to know if the others are using the same one?

So I wrote@Torobravo (thanks to him!!!) asking about this, and he told me that ZF is using a new one too...

Starting (apparently) from this one: http://www.toro888.c...product_id=1851 and probably this too: http://www.toro888.c...product_id=1904

Here the pictures. Let's check it together:

For comparison this is the old crappy one (tasken from JSJ thread http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=69834 ):

And this the SWF one from kennycoder thread:

1st thing I notice is that both the ZF and the SWF take the movement of the sec @6 from a gear on the left:

While the old crappy takes the movement from the top right:

Also they both (ZF and SWF) have the central part of the sec @6 pinion gear which looks made in 2 different metals (brass in the middle and some sort of steel in the outer part), while the old crappy has a full brass one.

This thing looks promising. Do you nothing something else?

I bought a seconds at 6 from my supplier in HONG KONG. He promises me it is a seconds at 6 from the ground up. WE'll see. The one I have is jeweled, but completely different gear types than this. I'v been into it 3 times, still cannot get it to run in any reliable manor.  Maybe this one is the answer. Are the sub dial staff's 6.8mm from center?
