ComCool Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Will a Swiss ETA 7750 fit this watch?... Now the dials are placed in different positions than the usual 7750? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3k0 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Will a Swiss ETA 7750 fit this watch?... Now the dials are placed in different positions than the usual 7750? Regular 7750 won't fit since it have 12-9-6 subdial layout, and this watch has 9-6-3 layout. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceberg1459 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 ETA 2894-2 has tricompax layout but they are hard to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I got this from Chunkiechinkie for my sister. The movement is very reliable. My sister bangs the crap out of her watches and she knocked the watch of her desk once. Fell on meter on to hard wood floors and the watch was fine. There was a ding, but it still runs great. The display case back is also pretty impressive. No stickers, engraved from what I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComCool Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) So ifI should look for a swiss movement for it. What should I look for? Edited November 5, 2008 by ComCool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3k0 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 ETA 2894-2 has tricompax layout but they are hard to find ... and except for being mechanical movement it has nothing in common with this modified 7750 movement So ifI should look for a swiss movement for it. What should I look for? You should look for ETA 7750 modified to this layout (chrono minutes moved at 3-o-clock), with date. Such movement is quite rare, I know The Zigmeister made one for HBB for one of the members here, but it is neither easy nor cheap modification. I have one like this in my 212, taken from swiss Daytona with sec-at-9, but it is without date, so useless for this watch. I doubt you will find it ready-made anywhere. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 you dont need a swiss movement in this watch. my wife had this for a while and it always ran perfectly. it is an asian 7750 modified with extra transfer gears to make it a 3-6-9 layout. im probably wrong but if i remember correctly, it is 11 gears? with the amount you will spend purchasing a swiss movement and installing it, you could have purchased 2 of these watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
