Dizzy Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 yeah not anything new. This has been highly discussed on all the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 The subject was originally discussed towards the end of this post. The procedure was originally outlined in this post - A possible remedy for secs at 6 7750s? The 1st watch treated (in the 'possible remedy' post) continues to run trouble-free.

rckh Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thx for your info. But it's old news. BTW; I couldn't found watchsmith willing to do that. Any recommendation? Best Regards, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mentalist Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 TomH on this board did this for me on a Daytona. Didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 TomH on this board did this for me on a Daytona. Didn't work. I am sorry to hear that. Really. But, no offense to TomH, I wonder if your watch may have other issues & did TomH follow the proper procedure? Again, the powdered graphite treats ONLY the friction/drag caused by the additional secs at 6 gearing & most of these movements come from the factory in an unserviced condition, with many other potential issues that can cause the movement to fail. Since none of the dozen or so other watches that have been treated have failed, you have to consider the possibility that your watch may have other problems. At this point, I think there is more than enough evidence proving powdered graphite as an effective treatment. But, to the best of my knowledge, we still have not had a freshly overhauled movement treated by a reliable watchmaker. So you might consider contacting Ziggy to see if he would be willing to service your watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
