z3k0 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 If it is 7750 chrono version you have to push hard on top pusher to start the chrono. It is really stiff, nothing like quartz watches and their pushers (if you are used to that). regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stops every minute at 37" secs. Hope I can find someone to service or replace it for a ETA 7750 Cheers, Ruud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Unless you have a flyback movenment your reset pusher (bottom) is likely to"float" until you have pushed the top "start/stop" button and stopped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 If the watch is low on power, the chrono will stop. This is normal with all mechanical chronos. Have you worn the watch for a day or so, it should normally have enough power to operate the chrono.. If it still stops intermittently, it is defect... ready for return.. The Portoguese has a reworked 7750, and the movement has unfortunately proved to be troublesome.. There are a lot of transfer gears used to move the seconds subdial from 9 to 6 o'clock.
