eunomians Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I'm getting my 3717 back from The Zigmeister I'm so excited! I had The Zigmeister transplant a Swiss 7750 and install the Cousins Day+Date wheels. And I had the watch relumed. I will post pics once I get it back. Thanks The Zigmeister!

Watchmeister Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 D- Can't wait to see it. Mine is still trapped in customs. Wear it well and you must post pics as soon as you get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Mine is heading back from Ziggy-land as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I'm looking forward to a heck of a lot of pics! Sounds like a terrific piece. The Zigmeister has only serviced a few vintage pieces for me and his workmanship has been terrfic. How he is able to remove rust from old hands without disturbing the original tritium lume is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsons Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 The Zigmeister, I live around 13 blocks from Kruz. I'm very much looking forward to your visit and having some fun. Perhaps we'll make some time to discuss watches. I hope your terrific lady friend is coming with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great, as soon as I have firm dates, I'll let everyone know...I think we could have a good time getting a few members together. RG Did you have the new movement fully serviced? It was not serviced, simply installed and timed and adjusted. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RG It was not serviced, simply installed and timed and adjusted. RG Ziggy, I have contacted you regarding movement swap and new day date wheel installation for the same watch. I found the movement on Ebay. (Chronograph Valjoux Eta 7750 genuine Swiss) Would you recommend a full service of this movement before install?

Most of the ETA movements I have bought from ebay were in good condition and did not require service. So it's unlikely that you would need to service the ETA right away. Unless it's dirty, I would just leave it as is... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
