wan Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 My hour and minute hands fell off there tracks that held them in place. They now just spin around freely. Is this a easy fix for a watch repair person or should i try and get an exchange? Thanks for any help? Cheers, Wan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I am no expert so I'll try to answer just while waiting for one of our gurus chiming in. If I correctly understand, you are saying that the hands disengaged from the cannon pin, am I correct? Hands are not supposed to do that. Your watch is flawed and you should ask for a replacement. But if you do not want it pass through the customs twice again, a quick-and-dirty fix might be just tightening the hands tubes a little (by delicately squeezing them with a small plier). This will make the tubes oval, it's not an elegant solution. Just better than nothing at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetterdawg Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 is this the 7750 version or the asian 21j version? Not that it makes a difference, but the 7750 version has been mod'd to support center seconds and maybe that has something to do with the failure (although probably not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wan Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Well i took the watch to my local watch guy that i have used for many rep mods and repairs and he could not manage to get the 7750 movement & face out of the case from the back to fix the prob. The movement & face were fit soo tight in the case that he felt that it would break trying to remove it. He also tried to go in from the top, "bezel & crystal" but it would not budge. So, i have sent it back to Angus. He said that he would replace it for a new one. "He's a good guy" When i get a new one i will post my thoughts on how this one is. I am thinking of buying a swiss valjou 7750 to put in the new one to get rid of the jittery second hand. "if the new one jitters" (Also, i noticed on the gen watch there is the name Chopard written on the automatic spinning weight in addidion to what the reps say along the edge......................Cheers, Wan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
