chris5264 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Ok,,,,check this out. This is such a cool dial (a huge thanks to tourbillon1801). After messing up two of the chrono hands, I actually started to get the idea of how to do this and you can see the 12 hour hand is better. Also, thanks to birdman for a great deal on the movement, which I also managed to screw up. I'm still not sure why but I must have messed up the movement too, it just gave up and stop working all together. Oh well. I'm trying not to see the mistakes and see the potential. It is a work in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosk Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 hey Chris, Please share any enlightment u've gainined on the chrono hand installation. That's the hardest part in working with 7750's, IMO.

bosk Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 glue on the hands? I remember reading about some1 applying glue to the stem of the subdial hand to help keep it on....or maybe it was only in the case of a asian to ETA movement change.

chris5264 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 No glue,,,but next time I'm going to us FF's advice thin wood stick with a tiny dab of rodico putty wrapped around the end so they stick and you can line them up right before slipping them on. The problem is that it is very expensive learning to work with this movement. I mean, basically this Swiss 7750 is a paperweight right now....
