ajl007 0 Posted September 10, 2014 Hi Guys, I have had a little trouble with my 3777 since the start. It arrived DOA on arrival, sent back to China and was working fine up until last week. Its only a couple of months old. Now for some reason i can only get the watch to start with a tap on the desk... Does anyone have any ideas what maybe causing this or things i could try to fix it? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted September 10, 2014 I take you have the 7750 version? Once it's started does it run OK - keep good time, good power reserve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajl007 0 Posted September 10, 2014 Yes it is the 7750. Seems to keep time well. Power reserve a bit up and down. Sometime lasts the night, sometimes only a couple of hours... It has stopped on my wrist once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted September 10, 2014 Not sounding so good. Unfortunately it could be a few things. I suggest communicating with the TD again if you haven't done so - but sending it back again doesn't sound like much fun. Do you have a watchmaker you can use? It might be something simple like a loose part or dirt inside. Where are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajl007 0 Posted September 10, 2014 I'm In the UK - I touched base with Alex from RWI who suggested a full service. Just wondered if it sounds like something simple I could try and fix! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted September 10, 2014 Open it up and take a couple of decent pics with the rotor in different places. We can have a look if there's anything obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajl007 0 Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks JSJ here are some photos: Can you see anything obvious? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted September 15, 2014 Looks pretty much the same as mine. All your movement retention screws and brackets are in the right place, nothing obvious in the way. Sorry. Maybe someone else can see something. It was worth a look at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajl007 0 Posted September 15, 2014 No worries - thanks anyway. Just seems £130 for a service as its so new is a bit of a shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted September 15, 2014 Agreed. If it were me, I'd buy a new movement for £85 and put that in. Depends if you can do that yourself. I just did it with a sick Avenger I bought and it's running sweet as a nut now. Smoothest hand wind of any of my 7750s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite fancy learning so now could be the time! Is there a particular best place to source the movement or any TD's? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
