iflylow78 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 did you ever get an answer on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 i didnt. however i did find a source for gen eta 7753 for about $700. but had seen his email after he took off from the place where the movements where found so i can not tell him get me one. i think i'll get a standard ETA 7750 and have it modded with the a7750-tricompax layout plate. maybe thats the best solution for a low budget.

alligoat Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Couple of things here, I've never heard of a 2890-2. Are you thinking of the 2894-2 which is a 2892-2 with the chrono module- tri-compax- came out in the 90's? Secondly, for the seconds at nine Daytona, why not just have the asian 7750 movement serviced- it runs a couple of hundred dollars and then you have a fairly reliable movement? Ziggy's the master of this, but other watchmakers can do it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 alligoat: yeah i meant that movement with the DD chrono module. probably misspeled it on title, wow thanks for letting me know i didnt see that. about a7750: The Zigmeister could do wonders to the a7750 movement with his proper service. i was more thinking about swapping to swiss 7750 for the reason of parts availability and "standard" (e.g. if i like the watch and wish to keep it for a long time, say the movement breaks down on me, then i go to a watchmaker, in case of a swiss movement it will be much easier to replace parts and\or inspect and service the movement) db1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflylow78 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 No - I believe the ETA 2890-2 is correctly referenced. It is the movement used in the Omega Reduced Speedmaster.

ubiquitous Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 2890-A2 is correct; the DD module is a Dubois-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
