RobbieG Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 So it is known to us that if you have an Asian 7750 you can swap Day/Date discs from a Swiss 7750 into it with no modification. Can you also swap Day/Date discs from an Asian 7750 into a Swiss one? Similarly, is the rotor from an Asian 7750 compatable with the ETA one in some way? The size of the bearing opening but not the bearings? In other words could you pop the bearings out of the Asian rotor and press the Swiss ones in it and then use that rotor on the Swiss 7750? Or just swap the whole thing bearings and all? Or can you even take the whole automatic module from an A7750 and put in on an ETA 7750? The idea I have would be to do a Porsche Flat 6 project and put my Swiss 7750 in it and use the DW's and rotor from the Asian 7750 version potentially. Thanks in advance guys. I may know more than most about a lot of historic high end movements, but gen/rep 7750 compatability is not something I know much about other than chrono hand size differences which require broaching. But that I have done before on my BCE project a while back so no worries there. The Flat 6 is pretty intriguing and hey, I can use the "it matches" my car geeky excuse to do the project. If I can make this stuff work I might have the first Swiss 7750 Flat 6 on the forums. Do tell if my idea is doable, or another frustrating rep pipe dream...

Fidestro Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Datewheels should fit fine, and I think the rotor may as well. I seem to remember someone, I think it was Defender110, had a Tag Carerra with a Swiss 7750 and the rep rotor as it had the Tag Heuer engraving on it.

RobbieG Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks - can anyone else confirm this that has done it or know someone who has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoast68 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 For rotor bearings, check this out http://www.rwg.cc/members/Modding-Rotor-Hu...B+rotor+bearing Pretty cool, and it really made a difference to that HBB IMO. For day/date wheels, check this out http://www.rwg.cc/members/Installing-Valjo...750+date+wheels Equally cool stuff, and I presume that if ETA parts can be fitted to an Asian movement, that the reverse is also possible too, but you never know in this game. Good luck with that project, I'll bet the finished project will be well worth the work. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks for those. Hopefully someone can chime in and give me the definitive answer and then I can open up a lot of options... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi Rob, if you manage to fit a gen ETA 7750 into the MBW AP EOD, i'd be the first in queue to take it off you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I doubt I'll do an EOD - not really much of a RO fan I'm afraid. I had a gen Millenary and that is the only thing AP that has ever moved me. World calss brand though quality wise so no offence. Just my personal taste. Anybody else know about DW being backward compatable and rotor with bearing being a straight swap or otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
