Monkeynut 0 Posted January 14, 2011 Hi all, I have been looking at House of souvenirs and am busting to purchase my first Breitling Chronomat but have been stalled by what I have read about 7750 Movements. Are they suitable for a noob keeping in mind I have no experience in the workings/servicing or the correct ways to wind, change dates etc that I have been reading about (sounds a bit more complex than I anticipated). Any advice would be great, am I overeacting or are they a complicated beast to live with? Cheers from OZ Monkeynut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 996 Posted January 14, 2011 Hey mate, welcome. It's not all that hard, even for a two headed Tassi boy No worries, just a few simple rules and all is fine. The gen by the way needs to be treated in exactly the same way and all mechanical watches require the date set procedure to be followed to avoid stuffups. Col.
