Nebakanezzar Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hey All, I love my Ingy, the fit and finish is simply amazing! So I am thinking about getting the Ingy chrono as well, but I am a little weary of the Asian 7750 mod'd with seconds @ 6....Has anyone been having any problems with this one so far? Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx All's quiet!!! I wouldn't take the risk personally. Moving a running second hand is a recipe for failure. This isnt the Daytona Shuffle but it is far more prone to breakdown than moving a minute subdial that clicks over once a minute and only in operational chrono mode. I don't think the few months this movement has been out there is nearly enough time to sift out the potential problems and failures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenacious_b Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I don't know.....Eddie Lee says that running sec's at 6 are no problem for this watch, and Eddie Lee's word is gospel in the church or replicalorum.... eeyay jesu dominae <<whack!!!>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Mine runs great. I also have a seocnds @6 daytona for a year and a half that runs great. I think this one shoud be more reliable because it only has two registers and no date. Great watch BTW. I have laid down my bling many a day for the ingy chrono!!!

flavor flav Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 mine had no issues either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanerich Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 No problems for me, but then it's only been two weeks. Besides I figure anybody who rotates a lot of watches at any given time (which is a lot of people on this board) don't put a lot of wear and tear on the movements of their watches . . . the bigger wear and tear problem I've found is to the screw-down crowns because I don't wear my watches enough to keep them running, and many of the reps have crown tubes that will inevitably strip over time.

So you dont have a winder? it will do wonders for your Automatics Besides, for the manual wind (Asian VENUS 175 made by Sea-Gull) that I do not wear reularly I leave the crown unscrewed and wind it every other day regardless if ill use it or not....So no unneeded wear on the crown tubes there....obviously i screw it down before wearing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less wear and tear. I've never had a thread issue on any including the notorious 183. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknoh Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I've had mine since EL first started selling them back in September IIRC. It was my daily beater, and the watch worked fine out of the box except for the noisy rotor and a rough, stiff feel when winding the crown. I sent it to The Zigmeister in October for servicing, came back running like a champ. About 2 weeks ago the chrono second hand stopped resetting back to 0, and I can no longer wind the crown. It just refuses to move. I don't think I would buy another watch with this movement, given that the watch was serviced and it still gave up on me in less than 6 months.

I have a two-watch winder but I keep my gens on it, and I'm not really inclined to buy winders for all my watches or anything like that -- that would cost a small fortune, one that I'd rather spend on new reps! The stripped crown tubes haven't been really that big of a deal -- 2 Rolex reps (YM, Sub, both from abay) and the Black Seal. I got new crown tubes for the first two, and The Zigmeister modded the 183 so I can wear it now. I am already a little worried about the threading on the Inge, which seems to be pretty short . . . I should keep that one on the winder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj69 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 If Nicknoh sent his Inge Chrono to The Zigmeister already, that means The Zigmeister's seen the transfer setup on this model. I'd love to see The Zigmeister's opinion. Has he posted any thoughts on this model here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 The problem is the same as the Daytona and the IWC Portuguese Chrono, which has transfer gears moving the running seconds to 6. As this is constantly running, it puts strain on the movement. I suspect this will go the same way as many of the afore-mentioned models.

RWG Technical Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 About 2 weeks ago the chrono second hand stopped resetting back to 0 That is a common problem on all chrono models, and can happen if you reset too far from "12" (frankly I see no reason to reset anywhere but at "12"), I don't cover hand slippage since it's a flaw on these models, but there is an easy solution, reset at 12 or real close to it... and I can no longer wind the crown. It just refuses to move. I don't think I would buy another watch with this movement, given that the watch was serviced and it still gave up on me in less than 6 months. Any automatic model that is wound with the crown will quit sooner or later, it's not designed to be wound with the crown, but with the autowinder. Crown winding just to get the watch going is acceptable, anymore is not... Your within your warranty, why do you still have the watch and how come your not emailing my associate and sending the watch in for warranty? It's probably a damaged click wheel, quick fix...

I'd love to see Ziggy's opinion. Has he posted any thoughts on this model here? Any 7750 with running seconds at 6 is problematic, this has been discussed at length many many many times...

Butterfly Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Bought a SECONDS AT SIX DAYTONA which worked very well both in regular and chrono mode for about 2 months, when suddenly it would lose time. Notified my dealer and he replaced it with a new watch. The new replacement, again after about two months started to run slow intermittently. Notified the dealer again and one more time it was shipped back to Taiwain. After several emails back and forth, he omitted that this model has been problematic and offered credit to a different model. So I chose an Omega Speedmaster which is running just fine. NO MORE SECONDS AT SIX for ME!! regards to all, Butterfly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
