RWG Technical Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 This started life as a Asian 7750 (3) powered watch. I replaced the dial with an ETA 7753 compatible one, and installed an ETA 7753 in place of the Asian model. The dial fit fine, but needed a lot of material cut from the outer edge to get it in the case, the bezel ring for the 7753 was too large for the case so I transplanted the old Asian 7750 bezel ring onto this dial. One noted problem was that the "swiss made" was cut off on the bottom, owing to the narrower bezel ring. I fixed the "swiss made" by removing the lettering from the dial. Here is the final rendition, looks good... Other work includes Tritium lume. Thanks for looking. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir-Lancelot Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Looks good Kruzer. You always have top notch watches. I like the idea of removing the swiss made. It looks better that to have it half missing. Great work as usual Mr. The Zigmeister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szvwj Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Beautiful job! I wish I had the skills to do work like that. Tritium lume? That must glow forever! I wonder if we can buy that stuff in the US. Do you prefer the Tritium over Superluminova or Noctilumina? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Beautiful job! I wish I had the skills to do work like that. Tritium lume? That must glow forever! I wonder if we can buy that stuff in the US. Do you prefer the Tritium over Superluminova or Noctilumina? The Tritium is a mixture I custom mix with Super Lume. Tritium is illegal in most countries... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
