Prsist Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I think this just happened. It looks 2mm off to the right. Does this mean the movt needs servicing? Is this common with the A7750? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantR Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Had the exact thing happen to my Tag Chrono. I have sent it away for servicing now anyway, not sure if its just the case of a cog slipping or what. Must be common... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Either it arrived that way (you need to remove the hand & reinstall in the correct position) or the hand's tube (that fits onto the wheel pinion) is loose (replace or repair the hand joint with tiny speck of epoxy).

Freddy, you say that with such ease. My skill level stops at winding my watches! She probably should be sent off to get a good service. From what I've read servicing an A7750 within the first 9 months helps ensure a long lasting movt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddy is a master...so can say (and accomplilsh) many things horological with ease that would make me pull out my hair. I can accomplish the same things as Freddy with even easier ease...because I send my stuff out to Watchdog. The issue that Freddy is highlighting is, that if it's a matter of a hand re-setting, any watch maker can do this as it does not involve specialized chrono movement expertise. If it involves a loose hand tube, a watchmaker may or may not feel comfortable gluing the hands together. You can engage discussion with a local watch maker and see what success you have...or you can do what many do...ship back for repair...or have the movement serviced. If it resets to the same spot (not "12") all the time...consistently, then it likely is just a hand resetting job. Good luck...and keep us posted on what works.

slask111 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 My n00bie tip I also got my Discovery with the exact same problem as you and i posted about it here: hxxp://www.rwg.cc/members/Ebel-1911-Discovery-Chron-t92234.html&hl=slask I just wore mine for a few days and then used the chrono. When pushing reset button the marker went back to 12h position. Happy days Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I said 'you', I meant your watchmaker (on your behalf) need to reinstall or repair the hand. My apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 See this post from Francisco on the chrono hand not lining up properly. You need to change a gear and then it works fine: http://www.rwg.cc/members/Improving-Precision-A7-t93303.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
