Is there anyone around the specializes in A7750 repairs? I would think after all these years of the Asian 7750 someone would be an expert and have plenty of parts or knowledge of where to get parts. There are plenty of low priced 7750s on the bay.

I only need work on the A7750 with seconds at 9, I don't mess around with Chronographs and they are all PAMs

I love the work at 7750's with just the sec@9 and no chrono. It's one of my favorite movements to work with.
But I'm in EU, so I think I'm no help for you.

Yes those are pretty reliable movements, it's the chrono works that are a PITA

I'm looking for help with a 7750 also. I know, you would think with so many of these out there, parts and someone to work on them would not be that hard to find. PM me if you find anyone. I'm in the US.

I'd love to find someone in the US too. I just got a Breitling rep and it came with the left chrono hand moving. Can't get it to stop.

George (G, 1060 or 1031, or something like that.) used to be the best along with Vac but George quit reps.

I find after having several of them worked on and broken again that the best solution is just to buy a new movement on eBay and install it yourself. It's cheaper than having one serviced and the quality I've gotten on actual new movements has been excellent compared to rep movements.

Are the chronos 12, 9 and 6 ?

and the one at 9 not stopping ?

Because the 7750 has a live seconds at 9 you know, if thats the left chrono you are talking about

From a technical viewpoint the Asian 7750 suffers a whole host of problems.

Firstly, most A7750's suffer from poor amplitude even without the Chrono running, standard versions are better in amplitude. Fire the chrono up and you can loose over 40 deg

Positional error is usually large due to incorrectly installed jewels and poorly formed/finished staff pivots
Gear depthing is poor at times
General tolerances are poor, which explains why some get good and some get bad. Poorly tolerance movements display wear marks on bridge surfaces and component's. obviously this wear debris floats around the mech and creates further issues down the line.
Poor quality materials, especially the ones used in spring areas

However, my biggest issue with ANY Asian movement is inconsistent electro plating on certain parts. it is just piss poor!!. It is poor in quality and adhesion to the parent metal
After cleaning and servicing, check your movement out a week or so later and you may find bits of plating floating about in the mech, kinda defeats the objective of a service. The A3135 suffers this problem also, along with poor quality winding gears.

To balance these issues, you have to look at cost. An A7750 is at least half the price of a serviced used gen. And in fairness to our Chinese friends they are slowly getting better. Our Swiss colleagues do have somewhat of a head start over our Chinese friends, lets face it, its difficult to catch up on over a hundred years of movement manufacturing.

I'm sure these issues will be addressed in time and we will then have a stable movement to work with.

VERY difficult to find ANYONE who works on Asian 77's. Might want to consider the replacement route...

My watchmaking professor thought my rep avenger blackburd was a gen when he timegraphed it, amp. was way over 300, keeping perfect time and 0,0ms error.
He didn't believe me when I said it was a 250 dollar rep...
Never tested the chrono though as that part is notoriously bad.
Just sayin' tho
