cwai02 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 The best way is to get it serviced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bignasty Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Buy an ETA 7750 and have it installed! Doesn't cost much more than the service and its 100000% better! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher71 Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 That is the plan when and if this one dies. I see service as a waste when the ETA can be had for a good price on ebay. But I will wait for it to die...and if it does not die...then hooray for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will wait for it to die...and if it does not die...then hooray for me Yeah I feel the same way. Just my track record w/ these movements so far is 0 for 3. I've got another sitting at the Post Office awaiting my early morning pick up tomorrow. Hopefully, I'm crossing my fingers, it will be OK as this is the new 28K improved Asian movement. We shall see. If you need someone to install the ETA in your CA, let me know I'd be happy to do the swap for you! My CA is w/ Andrew's service guy right now. He was going to repair for me free of charge, but I've since decided to just do the swap. I did my Serie Speciale earlier this week. Runs smooth and keeps perfect time! Good luck!

robertk Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I usually just run it for 24 hours and then use the chrono's for six and that seems to work fine, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostfaceZX Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) Yep! Brand Spanking NEW! What's the best way to tell if what you're getting from a Gbay auction is a true ETA and not an asian clone? Also, will all the watches that use an asian 7750 be compatible with the real ETA 7750 (except daytona of course)?

How about the datewheel position? Does the fonts show correctly on the date window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
