911RS Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 DO IT! You won't regret it.... I sent mine to The Zigmeister and got full movement service on my UPO along with other stuff... The watch doesn't sound the same when it ticks or when the rotor moves when I shake it.... It just feels and sounds more solid! After experiencing that.... you know your watch is gonna last a very very long time! Thanks The Zigmeister! You are DA MAN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 How long had you owned the watch before servicing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 At some point I plan to have The Zigmeister service all my watches. The man is simply incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 @911RS Your very welcome, it was my pleasure. It does make a difference when it gets that personal touch. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Enjoy it. Properly cleaning and lubricating a movement makes a big difference. There is nothing more annoying than the whir of a poorly assembled watch. The sound and feel of the rotor on some of the Asian movements out of the box drives me crazy. In terms of service there are two schools of thought. Some folks service it out of the box. The theory is that if you don't make sure they are properly serviced initially and either wait till it breaks or when it ceases to keep accurate time you may be dealing with more of a mess on your hands. The other school of thought is wait til it breaks. Beyond that, any watch (rep or gen) should be serviced every 3-5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yeap it is definetly worth it! The Zigmeister had serviced my PVD Pam28 with Power Reserve ETA 2892 and it ticks much smoother and PR indicator is much more accurate! Thank you The Zigmeister! Always grateful to have you on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yeap it is definetly worth it! Ziggy had serviced my PVD Pam28 with Power Reserve ETA 2892 and it ticks much smoother and PR indicator is much more accurate! Thank you Ziggy! Always grateful to have you on this board. You're very welcome. The 2892's tend to have gummed up pallet stones and escape wheels, once cleaned and lubricated, they are very smooth.

woody Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hi Rob, Greetings from Taiwan!! I am out visiting my family out here. Thought I'd say hello to everyone. And going back to topic, yes, after a movement, it's does make for a difference especially if your movement's previous state is not that "great". I had an Asian 127 serviced by Rob, and you can just simply "feel" that difference, when you manually wind that puppy up. before the service, you can feel that while winding it, it feels slightly rougher, but once it is serviced, the winding action became a lot more smoother, and you're set for another 5 years, not having to worry. congrats on your UPO receiving the "cleanse"! It's good for its soul..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911RS Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've owned the watch for 1 month before I sent it to The Zigmeister. I had no problems with it at all.... It was sent to him for peace of mind.... and I know my mind will be at peace for a very long time. Money well spent! Thanks again The Zigmeister!

UB7 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have a question regarding A7750 movements..Is it OK to service my daytonas and BCE? Or will oil and lubes destroy the movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 No. It should help ensure their longevity and accuracy (if it needs regulating). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
