Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted September 5, 2011 Man on Man am I in deep now on this one...a simple mod turned super sour super fast. I have my Breitling for Bentley 6.75 and the chrono hands were wrong (they were on the wrong subdials) so I go to swap them and just my luck I end up snappng the pinion off in the hand when removing it. I also believe the big second hand tube came apart from the hand itself... I essentially have a $400 pile of parts that are useless at the moment...hopefully somebody can fix this for me...I will be forever indebted to you. in short, work required will be replace 9 o'clock subdial pinion replace or fix big second hand reset the "big date" complication somebody help!!!!

SeanusMaximus 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Check the recent posts- there was a guy witha 7750 breitling who smashed his crystal, and didnt know what to do, so offer him for parts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeMcNair 0 Posted September 6, 2011 I should have the parts in stock to fix this, PM me tomorrow and I'll check after work. Btw, a sewing needle will poke out the tiny pinions and you MAY have just enough room to demoing them!! I have had this happen MANY times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted September 6, 2011 I just pm'd you mike...I hope you can repair this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted September 6, 2011 Update, I've fixed it to satisfactory condition. I placed the large second hand back on the tube which was tuck to the pinion and used a needle to re-secure the tube to the hand. Now, the subdial hand @ 9...I ended up gluing it in a stationary position since I dont use the chrono function in the first place and second of all I don't think there are any replacement parts that will fit with the big date module. overall everything is back to "normal" and aside from a few hours of banging my head on the wall its all good. I used a glue that is easily removable and water soluble in case I ever decide to properly repair it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

offshore 0 Posted September 8, 2011 I also found 29 movements I can take parts from.... 29!!! And how many have good reversing wheels? Personally I think all A7750's and derivatives thereof should be assigned to the job of anchoring boats! Offshore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted September 12, 2011 as much as it kinda bothers me that its "broken" I think I can live with it for now...especially since this is a stupid modified 7750! If my OCD gets the better of me Mike, I'll send it your way...or buy another one or even both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
