hooky Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) Hi All! Anyone has an idea to fix the following problem? The rotor of the Asian ETA 7750 contains two parts. The part attached to the movement, having the 'dove tail' and the weight part with the ridge. The weight part fell off. I had this problem before, so i just opened the case back, unscrewed the rotor, clicked the weight part back on and done. So I thought. But now the problem is back. It fell off again and it seems it is getting more loose after clicking it on for a second and third time... Does anyone has an idea to fix this? Maybe pressing it together at the ends with a plier (before or after the parts are clicked together?), but wouldn't it leave marks on the metal, specially visible in an open case back like my precious Panerai PAM253... So WHO of you already had to deal with this problem? Did it happen more often? All ideas are welcome! Thanks!!

Raijor Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Use something like weldbond or gorilla glue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Use something like weldbond or gorilla glue Well, i thought of this idea yes. To use a plier or to use glue. I was looking for the best solution to the problem. The rotor is under lots of vibration due to the spinning I assume. I thought that using glue, maybe after one, two years who knows bits of the glue might fall off. And from what I've learned on this forum, even the smalles fragments of anything being loose inside the movement might do damage. :cc_confused: So, who has had this problem as well and how did you solve it? Thanks! Edited January 19, 2008 by hooky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvhockey Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 IF you have a soldering iron and are good at soldering, I would get some silver jewelery solder and weld it together. It will never fall of again. It would take 30 secs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Your best solution, is to replace the rotor. Glue can and will probably end up somewhere it shouldn't...and simply replacing the rotor solves all your problems...and doesn't create new ones. PM me if you need help.

hooky Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) Thanks The ZigmeisterZumba! Today I asked my dealer in China if he can suppy the asian 7750 Rotor.
