namor Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 As the topic title says: are there any sources to get hands for a 3717 which will fit a swiss 7750 ? When it comes to make the regular hands fit a swiss 7750 - that's pretty delicate and I would prefer to get the right hands instead of modding the existing ones... (afaik it's only the chrono second hand which isn't compatible with the swiss 7750 - correct me if I'm wrong...). Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asim Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 you get email chris. although he is still setting up his renewed website, he might still be able to source them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namor Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks Will email him immediately... Any other possibilities ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asim Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 as far as I know, that's the best option. unless there are other dealers. as you mentioned, the safest thing to do is to source the older hands as opposed to fiddling around with the newer ones. the gen 7750 works so well!

tomhorn Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Wouldn't hurt to try The Zigmeister also. +1 on the you would be better off to get the handset from a low beat A7750.

HauteHippie Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 High beat hands will work too. Subdial hands need to be broached and the center seconds hand needs to be slightly pinched. Or maybe it's the other way around, but The Zigmeister does it often. And god bless him because it can't be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bricciola Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hallo Namor, die zentral sekunden zeiger, und die dre kleine zeiger mussen agepasst werden, wenn du die auf das werk 7750 montieren willst, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 The only hands that won't fit are the subdial ones and the center chrono seconds ones. I modify all of them to work and fit on the ETA 7750, why not simply send me the hands, I'll modify them and test fit them in my shop, then send them back and you can install them...easy solution to your problem.

ubiquitous Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Zig did the hands on mine and they are perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Nice gesture by The Zigmeister. As stated, no need to get extra hands, just use the existing one. The one that needs modification is chrono second counter hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
