ajoesmith Posted December 29, 2007 Report Posted December 29, 2007 This will be the last chance to get these movements and they are not cheap. The price will be $375 including paypal and shipping charges. As you may or may not know the price of the ETA 7750 movements have gone up dramatically as there isnt enough to meet demand. I can only get 20 more movements and thats IT, NO MORE. If interested please PM me Thanks
Fidestro Posted December 29, 2007 Report Posted December 29, 2007 Count me in! It will be a pleasure dealing with you again!
HauteHippie Posted December 29, 2007 Report Posted December 29, 2007 Which "version" of the ETA 7750 will these be?
ajoesmith Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Posted December 29, 2007 Sorry i should have said, its the same as i got before. Plain rotor, undecorated, 25 Jewels, 28,800bph movement. NOT the cheaper 17 jewel older movement
ryaku Posted December 29, 2007 Report Posted December 29, 2007 Am i wrong if i say i can almost get an Hamilton with the same movement inside for that price?

kingkitesurf Posted December 29, 2007 Report Posted December 29, 2007 AJS, Could you tell me what the hand size differences are with the newer 28,8k bph asian 7750. I want to put swiss in the breitling navitimer and a IWC 3717. Anyone know where to get hands or are the makable from the Asian hands
ajoesmith Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Posted December 29, 2007 as far as i know they are different but The Zigmeister and others have done it no problem
azerbyjam Posted December 29, 2007 Report Posted December 29, 2007 AJS, Could you tell me what the hand size differences are with the newer 28,8k bph asian 7750. I want to put swiss in the breitling navitimer and a IWC 3717. Anyone know where to get hands or are the makable from the Asian hands Hand size info as originally posted by The Zigmeister: Genuine ETA 7750 all variants (all) Hour 2.00mm Minute 1.20mm Center Seconds 0.25mm Subdials 0.17mm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Old Asian 7750 version all variants(21,600 BPH) Hour 2.00mm Minute 1.20mm Center Seconds 0.25mm Subdials 0.17mm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Asian 7750 (28,800 BPH) Normal ones - NOT the Daytona model Hour 2.00mm Minute 1.20mm Center Seconds 0.20mm Subdial 0.20mm Also note on the New 7750, the center seconds post, is below the top of the minute hand tube. On all other versions of the 7750, the center seconds post is about 1mm above the minute hand tube, not below it. Therefore the center seconds hand on the new 7750's, has an extra long tube on it, to make up this height difference. So not only is the hand smaller in diameter, it's longer as well... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Asian 7750 Daytona model (28,800 BPH) Hour 2.00mm Minute 1.20mm Center Seconds 0.20mm Subdial 0.17mm NOTE that on the new Daytona model, the 9 and 3 subdials are above the center line of the movement, whereas the other 7750's are all in line with the center post. In other words, a Daytona has the subdial hands slightly higher than the 3 and 9 markers, but a 7750 has the subdial hands at 3 and 9 lined up with the markers. Also note that the center seconds hand post is ABOVE the minute hand tube.
HauteHippie Posted December 29, 2007 Report Posted December 29, 2007 azerbyjam's post (by way of The Zigmeister) makes it appear as though a 28.8 kbph new asian non-daytona is NOT a candidate for swapping to a gen ETA movement due to the subdial hand hole size. You can broach smaller holes to fit larger ones, but I think you're stuck when the hands have hole size is larger than what is required for the gen ETA....
kingkitesurf Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 Well maybe there is a way of filling the subdial hands up a bit.. 0,03mm is not a lot so a drop of glue should work. It is the second hand that worries me. Definately worth a try though... Has anyone managed to fit the Swiss 7750 in the IWC 3717?

Yea, I'd be curious to see how it looks with a drop of glue on the hands.
Stephane Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 Hi guys, Simply wanted to say I got one from AJS and it was a pleasure to deal with him. I should add : as usual ! Cheers Stephane
ajoesmith Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks Stephane We need a few more people to make this possible. Please PM me Thanks
HauteHippie Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Like kingkitesurf, I would like to know if anyone has successfully transplanted the ETA inside a 3717 or Slevin or other non-Daytona 28.8kph based watch, and if so what they did about the sub dial hands.......
vaccum Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 You need the correct hands in order to make it possible. I have seen a few watches with hands glued..............................not a nice view. I am trying to get the correct hands for the 3717 vac
mezzanine Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 I wish I had the funds to get in on this- and would encourage anyone on the fence to jump on-board. Ah, the feel of winding an ETA 7750, there's nothing quite like it when all you're used to is the asian copy. I've got an MBK AP ROO that completely warrants a swiss movement- but this is a bad time for me, $$ wise, as I'm sure it is for many post-christmas.
ajoesmith Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 Any more interest? Please be aware that this is the LAST CHANCE to get these, they are sold out everywhere and the price will continue to rise in future.
HauteHippie Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 I am trying to get the correct hands for the 3717 vac Let me know if you do! Thanks.
ajoesmith Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 You mean hands like this I have tried to fit them and all hands fit except the chrono seconds hand but it can be broached easily. Asian size is 0.20mm ETA is 0.25mm Ill try and get more if there is enough interest
vaccum Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Let me know if you find it......sweeping seconds is what I am looking for.
mikellem Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 You mean hands like this Ill try and get more if there is enough interest How much are the hand sets?
ajoesmith Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 This hand set is not for sale but im currently trying to get more, very difficult but ill keep you informed
bwhitesox Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Ajoe, I would be interested in this handset as well if you can get them. I'm also thinking about one more of your 7750's..When do you need to know for sure?
