MADRED7 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi Experts, I now own 3 watches with the asian 7750 movement. Only one of them keeps excellent time and has enough power reserve to cover the nights "on the table"! For the other 2 pieces the power reserve will not hold for 1 night if just worn on the wrist, I have to wind it to get over 1 day and 1 night. The rotor runs and slackers inside, I can hear and feel it, but just by wearing the watches it does not gain enough power.....! Is there anything I can do? Oil it? Fix the rotor? ?????? Any aadvice deeply appriciated. Thx for reading, Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Theo, I too have 3 Asian 7750 movements. The newest b1 from the 187 keeps excellent COSC time. The 2 older ones NOT (in my 196 and 212). BUT they all have good power reserve of approx 2 days without wearing. Although I tend to wind them every 2 days like i do on the manuals. Keep in mind that wearing it in your wrist doesnt mean winding if you are not being very energetic. Sitting at work for 8 hours for example and doing pc work doesn't wind the watch. Therefore you must wind it for 50-60 turns every 2 days and i think you will not have a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Kostas, you are correct; with my damn job I am sitting the whole day on my a** without moving too fast I just thought there is something I can do beside hand-winding my AUTOMATIC pieces.

okram Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Winding 7750 PAM means to turn a crown clockwise (or UP) - is this correct? I ask because there is some resistance and would not like to break anything. Does a "turn" mean a whole 360 degrees? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Theo You can do something... Buy a winder, and put there your automatic when you go to sleep... @okram: Yes.. full turns clockwise and don't worry.. nothing is gonna break.

r11co Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) Power reserve on a gen 7750 is quoted at 36 hours max for the 28,800 bph, which is lower than typical for a non-chrono like the 2824 (40+). The fast beat rep should match this and in my experience it does. The slower beat (crap) reps might last a little longer than this or just about match it with the modified subdial. The fast beat ones with the modified subdial will suffer as a result... Edited July 14, 2006 by r11co Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okram Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Yes.. full turns clockwise and don't worry.. nothing is gonna break. Just to be sure: clockwise =UP, correct? so I suppose for 50 full turns it must be pushed up about 150 times to be fully wind, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 clockwise =UP, correct? Correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
