frazman 0 Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Hi All after much research around this time last year I purchased an IWC rep from Torobravo - unfortunately it appears I got a dud, upon arrival there was a pronounced rattle from the watch and after some research on this great forum I checked the rear screw in the mechanism which was missing or had most probably fallen into the mechanism. I contacted Toro who to his credit did forward a replacement screw but having fitted it the mechanism still doesn't work. I asked a trusted friend who is friendly with an experienced local watchsmith to take a look but he was unable to repair it. So I would like to get the watch working as it looks cracking and feels great on the wrist, only problem being it doesn't function as a watch and subsequently I've never once worn it!. The mechanism doesn't appear to be working at all. It was one of toro's sale items so came in at about £185 from memory. Question is how much would it cost to repair assuming the mechanism is knackered as I believe it tobe and who is the best UK based repair agent to use? Finally if it's beyond "economical repair" how much should I expect to get for it as a "going concern" to try to recoup some of my losses? Thanks in advance for any help Fraz Edited November 23, 2013 by frazman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted November 23, 2013 That's a tough one, it usually costs about $200 to repair one of the A 7750 chronos. Sometimes easier just get a new one. However if you like the watch you may want to bite the bullet. I'd check with one of the trusted repair guys. I live in the USA, so I use 10:10 Watch Repair. No reason why you can't either really.

frazman 0 Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) bugger $200 for a repair, that's just my luck! I wonder how much a replacement mechanism would be from china, although not sure I'd have the skills to fit it and would be mighty peeved if I didn't get the watch up and running again! Thanks for your replay though..... Edited November 23, 2013 by frazman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odyseus 1 Posted November 23, 2013 I think this IWC cost $220 (£135) as it's still a Toro sale item. A new A7750 will set you back around $110 (£65) then of course you have to swap it over For selling on well, I guess you probably have to accept £80 ish maybe a bit more ? ..alternatively can't you sent it back to Toro for repair (Cost £14 from the UK to China) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
