BCE Repair

[mulrick]

My BCE got wet this summer (drunken mistake, grabbed the gf and jumped in a pool) and it stopped ticking. I used to wear this watch every day. Now i am wearing my lv sub, but i would really like to get my evo back on my wrist.

It is an asian first gen i believe. Without the little mark at the 10 on the 12 subdial. anyway, who is the best person for the job. I figure while it is out i might as well get it waterproofed (reason it stopped.) And get it superlumed. I don't know if it need a new movement, or what??

Any help would be really appreciated... I know the repair guys can get really busy, but I don't mind waiting, I just want to get the ball rolling.

Ziggy is the best person I know of with movements, but like you said, he is also very busy, so if you're patient, send him an email.

if the watch has been sitting since last summer with moisture inside it, it might be toast by now. Rust grows quickly! Maybe the dealer you got it from can send you a new movement to replace it. They are about $100 or so i believe for an Asian7750. Might be cheaper than trying to fix the old one, and it may not even be repairable at this point.

I think i might go for a gen dial and a swiss mov. not sure yet.
