Graphite Treatment Service for IWC Portuguese Chronograph

[simzger]

Hello guys,

hope everyone is fine. I think it is time to have a thread that gives answers to the following two questions:

1) Who offers the graphite treatment service for the seconds@6 A7750?

2) How long will it last? Forever? Very excited to hear experiences/opinions on reliability.

Thanks and have a good one!

but what about the reliability question?

how long will a teflon or graphite treatment last?

Simon, No one really knows the answer to this question mate.

The movements are still potentially unreliable with or without the treatment.

I bought one and I found out that the treatment only helps the hour minute and seconds at six work. It does not, I repeat not, help the chrono work. The chrono on this movement is under powered and will stop the watch when engaged. There is no perfect IWC Portuguese. However, this treatment will allow the hour, minute and seconds at six to work and should help the mvement continue to work.
