bklynboy 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Read wtchgk's write up on RWI and got the urge when this popped up on M2M in another forum Arrived in 3 days without a strap but luckily there was a nice lizard in my drawer Watch still had the plastic on case back when it arrived Has the new 29j A7750 with a beautifully decorated rotor It cost me $200 so exposure is limited, will hack the movement when it's in the box but enjoying on my wrist for now . . .

Luthier 1 Posted April 5, 2012 Very beautiful and classy watch, BB, great buy! I've never heard about 7750 with 29 stones... enlighten me, please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bklynboy 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Maybe mistaken but believe the add'l 2 jewels reside on the gears that transfer the seconds from original position at 9 to 6 Earlier versions did not have these gears jeweled and had some reliability issues? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted April 5, 2012 True, there's no extra jewels in A7750, that's why they're die quite soon, with sec@6 or @12 configuration. Usual A7750 has 25 stones. How's reliability of your watch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wriggles 12 Posted March 2, 2013 Just got it today so I'll have to let you know in the future! Sorry to resurrect this thread, just wondering how you got on with the IWC? Any problems crop up with the movement? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vbmrk 0 Posted April 11, 2013 +1 Curious to know myself. I love this watch but have resisted getting it due to the numerous movement issues I've read about. Even considered plunking down 1k+ for the franken version just to own a good version of this watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B3nj4min3 0 Posted June 15, 2013 I've been looking at getting a 29J version myself but have been reluctant due to the aforementioned reliability issues. Any information on how the watch is running would be a great help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bklynboy 0 Posted June 22, 2013 Key is to hack the movement when not in use, haven't worn it a lot to be honest, but it is running perfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
746_heuer 0 Posted June 24, 2013 Key is to hack the movement when not in use, haven't worn it a lot to be honest, but it is running perfect And set the time every morning? I'd rather buy a new one every year, even if I have to give up on eating Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
