sean1967 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi, I'm reasonably new to the rep addiction. Anyway cut to the chase!!! I have a Daytona 7750 seconds at 9 which has stopped working properly. No matter how many winds I give it it will only run for 20mins. I conclude that the rotor is not charging the movement. The rotor is free to move and the movement is clean. I am in the market for a replacement movement. Does anybody have one/ know someone who sells them? I have tried some dealers on here and the other place but to no avail. Does anyone know what causes this? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The movement probably needs servicing. Unserviced 7750's can last a year...many times longer. A serviced a7750 can last a lifetime, but needs a cleaning and oiling every 5 years. Replacement movements are probably around $150+ shipping and a movement swap if you can't do it yourself is around $100. Contact Peter (Watchstation). He should be able to get a movement for you.

sean1967 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks Toad, The watch is currently in the hands of a watchsmith friend who only works on high end gen stuff in a big AD chain. He cannot get the necessary parts. My idea was to pick up a new clean movement and he would fit and service it. The result would hopefully be a near bomb proof daytona!! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
