db1 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) hi, just wondering if there is any source to buy a swiss eta 7750 movement with the 3,6,9 secs @ 9 config ? (e.g. daytona zenith and some navitimers configs etc..) is that the ETA 7753 ? just seen a daytona with swiss eta 7750 secs @ 9 being sold here, wondering from where the movement came from. any info will be great Edited November 14, 2008 by db1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 You can likely get it from Peter (Watchstation) or Jay (Silix) or Angus (Puretime)...expect around $170...given the standard A7750 is discounted about $120. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 hey Toad, thanks for the tip.. but i am talking about the swiss version of the movement, which i believe is more then $170 where is it possible to source one of these? or maybe there are modded swiss 7750 that act like 7753 ?

owdeguy Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Without date, yes, with date not so easy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 i dont need date on the movement. just a genuine eta 7753 anyone knows of how much approx. these go for? are they available from one of the members here? (i have also heard about eta-7750 with an extra plate to make them work like 7753 but they really are 7750 base with non-swiss, asian mod) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 i think they are not produced anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 holly cow, are you sure slay? wow.. that makes me wonder how come many reps on dealer sites were offered with this Gen movement right out of the box. and what about taking a gen ETA 7750 and transfering the layout plate from a A7750 movement to create a "hybrid" swiss 7750 with the tri-compax layout? (i have seen a few posts about that- but no one ever got into it in depth) would that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflylow78 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 very interested in a 3,6,9 layout swiss 7750 with seconds at 9 myself. if you get an answer or find a source please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 is it possible to make an ETA 7750 secs @ 9 by installing onto it the layout plate from an a7750 secs @ 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadweller4000 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 the difference between the 7750 modified to tricompax and the 7753 is the date-switch. on the 7750 you quick-set it via the crown, while you have a push-button @ ten o' clock on the 7753. Hublot uses the 7750 afaik, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 thanks for the info well- i need this for a daytona @ 9, so i guess i dont care much about date setting =] what do you think, this mod can be done? dress an ETA 7750 with the a7750 secs @ 9 layout plate ?

takashi Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 To echo the post earlier, I will buy all your stock if it comes down to 170USD per piece for genuine ETA7753. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) i wish i could find one genuine ETA 7753 for that price...lol thats why im looking for an alternative, dressing an ETA 7750 with the same layout plate the a7750 secs @ 9 comes with might work. but im waiting for a response from someone who knows better then me =] Edited November 19, 2008 by db1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
801run Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 i wish i could find one genuine ETA 7753 for that price...lol thats why im looking for an alternative, dressing an ETA 7750 with the same layout plate the a7750 secs @ 9 comes with might work. but im waiting for a response from someone who knows better then me =] I have no experience of the tricompax module yet, although I have a failing A7750 with tricompax module on a MB Timewalker so I need to take care of this sooner or later as well. But will the "posts" (don't know the correct term) for the hands be long enough on a gen ETA7750? Feels like when you put on another plate between the movement and the dial (the tricompax plate), the hour hand (and other hands as well) will get closer to the dial, perhaps making the hour hand scratch the dial, or does the tricompax plate incorporate some kind of extension to this "post"? Don't think it does, or .. I can't imagine how such a construction would be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 To echo the post earlier, I will buy all your stock if it comes down to 170USD per piece for genuine ETA7753. The price I was indicating was a ballpark for an A7750 with the tricompax mod...NOT a gen ETA 7753. I hoped that was obvious...maybe not...based on the price for the basic A7750 and how much movements with complications seem to cost from China. The gen price for a Swiss is obviously many times this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
