Hey guys, I’m thinking about buying another 3777 blue dial. I bought one 3 years ago, it was a 3777-06 from ZF and I loved it but I had the worse luck. Aside from the usual QC issues, the crown stripped within a month, fixed it. Then it quit ticking a year later. Many watch makers refused the service it being a 7750. I found a local watch smith who was going to charge me $400 for a service or $300 labor to swap for an ETA7750 which is a pretty penny. I then thought about swapping it myself using an A7750 but that operation went bad as the hands are damaged.
Right now I’m looking at getting a 3777-14 from ZF but Im worried about it crapping out and I really don’t feel like spending over $1000 anytime soon. I know the rep is substantially cheaper than the gen, but for some reason I don’t feel like going through the headache and I’m a bit hesitant.
Can yal chime in on their experiences or give me some recommendations. I don’t have my eyes on getting any other watches.
