Prsist Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Do you trust a forum modder? Which one? or A local watchsmith, who I assume has limited exp. with reps.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 You hit the nail on the head. There are few modders who have familiarity with chrono movements in general, and A7750 movements even less so. Most watchmakers can service an ETA based movement and can source parts...making them much easier to maintain. Most experienced folks here (myself included) owe Watchdog a debt of gratitude for his knowledge and expertise on this kind of work...he's the master of the A7750 for sure...and has the credibility and professionalism to be trusted with all your gen needs too!!

Prsist Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks Toad! Where is he located? I'm in the US and it would be great to have someone in my backyard to ship to. Did you mean ETA movts or/and ETA clone movts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mean ETA movts or/and ETA clone movts? In the US, Vac is good: Vaccum's Mod Shop ...at least I think he's in the US??? Watchdog is in Canada. He can work on anything...but is generally very busy as he doesn't work on watches as a living but a hobby. His day job is quite time consuming and can involve lots of travel, so you often have to book months ahead...but he's extremely reliable, efficient, professional, and all 'round, a great guy!! Vac from what I read is tops and one of the few people that Watchdog recommends as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I typed Watchdog the second reference, and it came up Watchdog when "processed", now that is a trick! Who is responsible for that?
