onionbag 1 Posted December 1, 2012 Thanks Chris, so is this slippage due to the tolerance between the cannon pinion and the broached hole in the seconds hand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10:10 Watch Repair 1 Posted December 1, 2012 Thanks Chris, so is this slippage due to the tolerance between the cannon pinion and the broached hole in the seconds hand? The hand may not be tight enough on it's pinion and / or it may slip on it's tube (a seconds hand is two pieces staked together.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoePeace 0 Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks oni, so I should be able to manage:D your four years old must be very advanced! Well I like this model too much , I have to give it a shot:) make sure I don't press the buttons on it:D is any more opinion about that model I linked above? Is it worry so that the sec is @3? Would you buy this watch? I know I sound kinda ... But good to hear opinions! Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onionbag 1 Posted December 3, 2012 I don't know if the seconds at 3 orientation requires a modification, so maybe someone else can clarify. If it is modified I'd be wary of it. As it's a Hublot..........................I'd be wary of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pmat 1 Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) So, does this movement have any positives.....apart from the price? what do you think? Is that a trick question? Let me ask a question. Why are there so many arrogant, unhelpful tossers into fake watches? Edited August 4, 2013 by Pmat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wizzzard 9 Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks to the OP...just bought a 7750 and this thread helps explain some of the noises I'm hearing...I didn't realise it would stop after a short time. Have tried the gentlest of winds and will see how it fares going forward. Will try and take some pics over the weekend and post for review. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mgtf1 0 Posted June 10, 2013 My second hand has stopped and the button at 2 o'clock feels different. Any ideas anyone ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hdman820 0 Posted June 27, 2013 Good insight in how to set the date. Never new the gears could get ruined when left between 10 - 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD2020 0 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) lildaddym I screwed up my new-to-me Concord C1 by pressing the reset while the chrono was running... Didn't see this post first! Should I attempt to fix it myself? Its not possible to screw up the movt by pressing the button at 4 when the chrono is running, It doesnt do anything while the chrono is running. You can press it all day long and it will do nothing, the only time the reset button does anything is when you stop the chrono and then press it, (it resets then) your movt has somthing else wrong with it. Pmat So, does this movement have any positives.....apart from the price? Ive serviced atleast 30 of these movts this year alone and its a great movt after being serviced. The key with these movts is getting it serviced. After that you have a great work horse movt that will last years without problems.

lildaddym 0 Posted June 27, 2013 MD2020-I sent you a PM...I think you're right, though...I had talked to someone else about this, and they said, "Hello, I understand the issue. It is very common. Actually what usually causes it is a lack of proper lubrication at the heart-shaped chrono cam. Simply reinstalling the part without remedying the lubrication issue can lead to the same result shortly thereafter." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD2020 0 Posted June 27, 2013 Yep thats the exact problem, when you have a movt thats not lubercated(sometimes no lub at all) the movt will not preform well at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lildaddym 0 Posted June 27, 2013 It seems to keep good time, and has a LONG reserve...the buttons did feel stiff initially... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just received my first rep with the A7750 and i'm keen to get it looked at and probably serviced before i really play around with it. I'm located in Singapore and i'm not sure if there are any watchmakers here that wouldn't frown on a rep, so... yeah. :/ pretty much sums up my predicament.

MD2020 0 Posted June 27, 2013 Im in chicago, theres a buch of watchmakers close to u, I think Spinmaster is in Singapore and theres a few in Europe which might be closer but i have worked and am working with a few members from your area right now. Ive got about 6 watches Rep and gen from Bangalter whos in singapore right now. So in the end its up to u who you want to use. Im more active on the other Rwg so i dont have much credit here. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
