cskent69 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Just a quick question for those much more hands on than I. Can you put an A7750 datewheel (specifically the new Breitling Datewheels) into a genuine ETA 7750 movement? I know that it can go the other directions ETA DW into Asian movement. Any issues the other way around? Thanks!
Toadtorrent Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Should not be a problem... RG Hey The Zigmeister! Am I correct in thinking that although it can be done without problem...the only issue might be that some of the A7750 rep datewheels are often a bit thin and can cause reliability/durability problems in general...being one of the reasons to upgrade to a gen ETA where possible (assuming the font is OK)?? Thanks for the info if you have it and read this thread again...
Watchmeister Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Never had an issue using a rep datewheel in an ETA 7750 movement. A thin piece of brass with some paint on it is a thin piece of brass with some paint on it.

Thanks for the info if you have it and read this thread again... I don't ever remember noting that the Asian and ETA wheels differed in thickness, I think they are the same... I have never had any reliabilitiy issues with the Asian DW's. RG
