Carrera Day Date - Swap the a 7750 by a Valjoux 7750???

[verbalkint]

Hey,

I just searched but did not find the answers I looked for...

I would like to buy a Carrea Day Date Rep with a7750 (28.800bph) movement. Is ist possible to replace the asian movement by a genuine Valjoux 7750 (28.800bph)?

Does anyone has experiences?

Especially what about the thickness of the movements (the gen watch is about 1mm thinner)? Any problems by putting the crown in the gen movement? Does the dial fit to the original movement?

Which other problems come up?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards

I would advise you to look for domi in this forum regarding swiss eta 7750 movements. You'll probably have to ship the watch to him for installation (unless you can do it yourself). Hope this helps

I am interested in doing the same. My asian 7750 stopped working and I'd like to install a gen eta 7750. Is this possible using the same rep pushers and crown?

Hi, same here. I am really interested in the Tag Heuer Carrera. But nearly 400 $ is money and the Asian 7750 hasn´the best reputation. Please keep us informed if this is possible.

Yes, installing an ETA7750 is possible, but the chrono second hand is not the same size. Supposedly the subdial hands are slightly different, but based on all the Swiss conversions I've done, subdial hands still fit. But the center chrono hand is too small to fit the Swiss pinion. Might be able to get a tiny needle/oiler in the hand's tube to widen slightly and make it fit, but naturally, it wont.

And the crown and pushers... will they fit?

I'm of the opinion that a new serviced clone is more than good enough vs a potentially flaky used Swiss with unknown history but YMMV

Crown and pushers will fit.
