lextheimpaler 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Just bought Las Vegas from toro. Im testing it out and wore it for the whole day and when I woke up this morning it had already stopped. Is it normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted May 29, 2012 Yes, if you didn't masturbate with left hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigBuys 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Depends on movement in it and if it is a chronograph, if the chrono was running. The internal resistance of the new Asian copies of ETA movement is sometimes high enough that they have very short power reserve. I usually wind a new watch appropriately tight and letl is run overnight and then continue for several days. This lets me know how well it performs in general and also tends to loosen them up enough that the PR increases somewhat. I have discovered several 21j movements that have so much internal resistance that they will not run at all UNTIL wound fully and then turned from side to side and up and down to find the point of least resistance. Then i let it run in this position for several days, which frequently loosens the movement enough that it runs on my wrist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

torobravo 9 Posted May 29, 2012 It should last more than a day, make sure you handwind it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted May 29, 2012 Greg, it's just another way to say "Wind your watch manually, bro!!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverspeed 10 Posted May 29, 2012 Power reserve on A7750's can vary quite a bit. Using the chrono function will have an effect on the power reserve. Also a new movement often needs time "to break in". To make sure it's fully wound, gently handwind the movement for 35 turns and the wear the watch....keep the use of the chrono function to a minimum. Wear the watch for a few days....and see if that makes a difference for the power reserve. My AP ROO Safari has a power reserve of 50 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 82 Posted May 29, 2012 Greg, it's just another way to say "Wind your watch manually, bro!!!" No, it's yet another example of what I was talking about in this thread: http://www.rwgboard.com/board/index.php?showtopic=28828 It's okay saying that kinda thing to the regulars here because we all know you're joking. Not cool when it's someone who doesn't know this place so well and could potentially take offence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted May 29, 2012 On a serious note - sure, need to wind mov't manually, about 40-50 turns of crown, and then you'll see, how long it will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lextheimpaler 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Thanks guys for your advice. Will wind manually and see. @Luther .. Mate I don't need to w@nk myself ... That's wot the hos r 4.. No offence taken.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stolikat 1 Posted May 29, 2012 I think hand winding a asian 7750 is a bad idea. I would recommend holding the watch by the strap or bracelet inverted and flicking it in a semi circular motion until it spooges all over you. JK. Seriously to get it started that is the best way winding is not my first choice with a 7750 it puts undue stress on the movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously to get it started that is the best way winding is not my first choice with a 7750 it puts undue stress on the movement. Yep - IMO if I need to HANDWIND my A7750, to make it run for at least 24 hours, then it's fucked up! My 7750s never needed any handwinding, only regular wear and had a power reserve of at least 35-40 hours, probably more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10:10 Watch Repair 1 Posted May 29, 2012 A sec. at 12 AP Roo. It probably won't have good power reserve no matter what you do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken8 0 Posted May 29, 2012 how do you know when its hand wound fully? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lextheimpaler 0 Posted May 30, 2012 Problem fixed. The movement needs time to break in. Also handwinding seems to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SamsonAusKognito 31 Posted September 22, 2015 All of my ROOs have a power reserve of 48-50 hours. How can I wind a ROO? The crown is not aible to move, or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted September 22, 2015 All of my ROOs have a power reserve of 48-50 hours. How can I wind a ROO? The crown is not aible to move, or not? Hi Samson This is a really old thread. Maybe you should start a new one with more details of your question. If your ROO has a 7750-based movement you can wind it but the usual advice is to be very careful with winding. Wearing an automatic watch should be enough to keep it wound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also figured out how it works now, but to keep it running without wind I have to move a lot and fast :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
