Jon Martin Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Ok I just got my replacement AP ROO rubber clad from Joshua and at least the movement works in this one the only thing is when I move my hand I can hear the rotor spinning around inside and can slightly feel it too. It's annoying loud I want to know if it is ok to remove the rotor and make the watch a manual wind instead? Or will I damage anything? I ask this because i took the rotor out of the old one and it kept time ok for a few days before the movement stopped completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 It'll work fine for a while, but the manual wind mechanism in a 7750 isn't built for every day use, and you'll wear it out pretty quickly. You're better to oil the rotor bearing which will make it a lot quieter. All 7750 based watches do this, ever genuines are quite noisy compared to others.

Flashman Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Gens can be noisy (my Omega is!) so it is not usually an issue, many members oil the rotor to quieten it and that often helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
