docdoc Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I was going through this thread looking for infos about the different movements. And I was suprised to read that the ETA 7750, "Valjoux" movements must NOT be set the date between 8 PM and 2 AM, or you will damage the movement. Is it true ? To be clear about (and to be sure) this ? So you need to first set the time to 5.00 am (for example) then set your date then set your real hour (11.25PM for example) to avoid troubles with the movement ?

Ztech Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yep, it is true. I've done it a few times before I found out, but luckily I didn't damage anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to have found that info before having to set a watch By the way what reliable movements would you recommend for a newbie like me with no experience in watches to avoid my purchases to be out of order after few years… Edited July 7, 2008 by docdoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Glad to have found that info before having to set a watch I've heard that if you do set the time during those hours the gears can and will crash into each other harming the movement.

After what I read I thought it was the date settings that may cause problems… Edited July 7, 2008 by docdoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
