diver_dylan Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Ok, now Im really confused. I got the crown seperated from the stem, and just for sh1ts and giggles...tried to screw the crown into the tube. And it screwed in like a CHAMP! A few nice turns and then nice and snug to the case! WTF is going on here? Is the stem a bit too long and not letting the crown get deep enough to bite the threads in the tube? How the heck much do I trim off to remedy that!? lol This is good news though, Im quite excited! Thanks and PLEASE keep the amazing advice coming!

diver_dylan Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 DONE! I just shaved off about 3 threads and it works just like new! I have my watch back! THANKS SO MUCH GUYS! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver_dylan Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Im so excited! I also lubed the rotor bearings, it was loud as HELL, and now its better than new. WOW! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hey DD, awesome news. I guess I should have mentioned that you check the threads once the crown was removed Unfortunately, mine was in fact stripped, bit glad to hear yours was repairable. Feels good to do stuff yourself, doesn't it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver_dylan Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Man does it! It wasnt so much that the threads were/werent stripped...a couple were/are. But the stem being slightly too long only allowed access to the first few of them...now that its trimmed, I can use them all. Thanks again, really! Dylan Hey DD, awesome news.

diver_dylan Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Ok, so Im bummed again. I woke up this amp, with it having been on my wrist all night, and it had stopped. A nice rap into my other hand brought it back to life though. Any DIY ways to remedy this? Thanks again! Dylan PS I looked and saw that the hands werent rubbing on each other or anything, so thats out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueimage Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 What model are you guys talking about, what movement etc. I was about to buy one of these so I'm interested. $300 on a watch (many thousand $ "real" price or not) is still significant enough to me that I don't want it to break so easily.

Zed Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 My SMP chrono acts exactly the same way , won't even run in the winder , only on my wrist and then dies a couple hours after the date change .. Normal for this watch I would say !! Zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diver_dylan Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have half a dozed asian 7750 reps, and this is the 1st one to EVER give me a problem! It had to happen sooner or later. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predfan2001 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Bummer DD. I'm personally very afraid of chrono. reps. I stick to the basics. I have still never had an ETA fail or be grossly inaccurate. I have had 2 asian movement reps bite the dust with in 2 weeks and I have only purchased 2--what does that tell you?? Sorry for your luck but that's this price we pay right? Gotta take chances. Better luck next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueimage Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 We're talking about the Asian 7750 smp chrono rep right? that's the one I was about to buy. Asian 7750 is worth how much if I need fixing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchman12345 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Im so excited! I also lubed the rotor bearings, it was loud as HELL, and now its better than new. WOW! D What did you use to lube the bearings? Coincidental that it gave trouble after doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver_dylan Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Generic grease. And no, it did this once BEFORE i ever took the casback off. Wore it againm last night to bed, and woke up with it running just fine. Ugh. D What did you use to lube the bearings? Coincidental that it gave trouble after doing this.
