MH_91 0 Posted April 5, 2013 Good day everyone, i JUST got the watch today, i have ordered IWC top gun v3 from Toro, few weeks ago. based on the YouTube videos that i saw about this replica watch, the "stopwatch" second hand works. However, mine is not working, and whenever i push the push buttons they don't do anything. Dose yours do this?? Any feed back would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

digger2 0 Posted April 5, 2013 If you have followed the all around the forum advice to just shake the 7750 to make it going it is probably just not winded enough. If you have wound it you have a big problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have wound it you have a big problem. Oh i have shacked that boy more than enough, the actual clock is working but the stop watch side is not working just give everyone an idea of what is not working and working, here is a picture of it... Bloody hell this watch is sexy, but too bad it has this problem ;'( Edited April 5, 2013 by MH_91 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge22 0 Posted April 5, 2013 Maybe a stupid question, but have you tried with the crown in place? In your picture it seem to be all the way out and then it won't work, at least mine doesn't when crown is out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peakpower 0 Posted April 5, 2013 What movement did you order? Asian 7750 Chronograph Movement Sorry, mate. There's definitely something wrong with it. The chrono should work if it's an A7750. Although you can sometimes have issues with the subdials on the A7750 resetting back to zero, the chrono function should work. Since your chrono barely moves at all, that means something is wrong. Since the watch is keeping correct time, whether you decide to get the chrono fixed is up to you. I normally don't use the chrono on reps, unless I've had them serviced, due to the aforementioned problem of them not resetting properly. If not having a chrono function bothers you, sending it back to the TD in China for repair could take a few months! Unfortunately, it's either contact the TD for a return, or you find a local watchsmith that doesn't mind working on a rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda sucks to have a faulty one for your first replica watch. i will just contact him and see what the next step will be.. in the meanwhile i will enjoy showing off this watch to my friends hahaha! but i will make sure no body touch the buttons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What "Goes" and what are you having to force? Did you read up about the care and feeding of the 7750 before you started playing with this thing? http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=6101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razorblade 0 Posted April 6, 2013 If "it goes" refers to the chorno working, and "use force" refers to pressing the chrono button with some force then IT IS WORKING. This is a typical A7750, do read up about the movement first! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watchman12345 0 Posted April 6, 2013 The chrono takes a right good press on the chrono button... It actually feels like your breaking something! Make sure you read about the 7750. Don't be messing with it. You need to read about when to change the date etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to read about when to change the date etc. +1 Many of my friends not into watches have had the same feelings as you op until i showed them how hard you have to press. I dont think its easy to brake anything if you press real hard because of the button stops against the case so press harder. Or read some more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MH_91 0 Posted April 6, 2013 OH lord i feel embarrassed! it's working, all i had to do is to press it hard like close to breaking it up. thank you everyone for helping me out here, i really appreciated the kind help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odyseus 1 Posted April 6, 2013 Looks like the movement is lacking lubrication on the chromo internal levers? Suggest you get it serviced, if you intend keeping it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
