Have anyone buyed an asian 7750 from our dealers (I mean only the movement ) ?
if so from who ? and price ?
Or do I have to get them off the bay ?
One of mine 7750 stoped running during the weekend, and I thougt I give it a try to replace the movement.
Also, does anyone seen a "tutorial" or topic about changing the datewheels on a 7750.

Thanks guys

Surprisingly enough I've never come across a source for asian 7750s, except for scammers trying to pass them off as real on ebay. I would suggest sending yours for service rather than looking for an unserviced replacement. Depending on what version you have, you might consider swapping with a gen 7750 as well.

Swapping for a swiss will not work its the new 7750 and the hands dont fit.
Service might work, but its the customs issue (EU based), but I think I could probably just send the movement.
But I was thinking It ends up being more expensive to repair (not service) the movement then getting a new.
But thanks Andreww

Probably would be slightly more expensive to service, but you would likely be guaranteed 5 years of trouble free use. Obviously your 7750 has less than a year on it, so whats to say a new one would be any better? If you could pick these things up for 50 or 60 dollars I would agree with you, but I would expect to pay about $150 if you can find one.
