First PAM.....need help....PLEASE?

[BADWIN BING]

I really need your help here guys.

Today I recieved this Pam 104 from Precious Time:

Movement : A.7750 Valjoux Automatic, 28,800bph

To start, I'm absolutely delighted with the watch. The looks, the feel, the weight are second to none and I couldn't be more more happy. Even the strap is quality!

Here's my problem:

I'm quite new to the rep world and this is only my second purchase, the first being an Omega PO which is QUARTZ!!!

So, as you may have guessed, my problem is with the movement. I love the watch but I'm afraid to touch the fcuking thing.

PLEASE CAN SOME OF YOU VETS GIVE ME SOME BASIC GUIDANCE.

* How to change the time

* How to change the date

* How often does it need winding

* Anything else

Yours gratefully

The latest newbie dumbass :facepalm:

first of all, a 7750 for a non-chrono???

well time changing is just as simple as quartz, pull the crown out to the second position and turn it

date on the other hand, is a little more tricky, dont change the date if it is between 3am to 9pm

and it should wind itself

and anything else would be, why not go for a cheaper movement???

The 7750 movement has native seconds at 9... and is a rock solid movement when it has no complications such as Chrono / GMT to bog it down...

Solid choice for a auto-Pam I'd venture.

* How to change the time

Open the lever on the crown guard... turn the crown from bottom to top (6 o'clock toward 12 o'clock) This is how one would wind a manual wound movement. Yours will auto-wind while it's on your wrist, so after you get it started you shouldn't have to worry about it unless you let it sit a few days unworn... then wear it a bit or wind by hand a few turns to get it started again.

Set time: open the crown guard lever... pull the crown out (From 9 to 3 o'clock) two clicks. You should feel it click twice pretty distinctly... now turn the crown up and down to set the time.

Set date: Open the crown guard lever... pull the crown out one click. Turn the crown to change date. Don't do change too fast, or between 9pm and 3am... I tend to set mine to "Noon" before I go about changing dates to be as far from the date jump as possible.

Winding: Open the crown guard lever... turn the crown. Or, wear on your arm and move normally. The 7750 should have an easy 40hours of power built up when it is in it's fully wound state. To get it started, either "swirl" the watch on your palm to move the rotor, just wear it a bit, or turn the crown to manually wind.... you shouldn't need to manually wind an automatic watch that is worn at all.

not to jack this thread...but can you hand wind A7750 movement? I see it was mentioned here. Would it work for ebel 1911 discovery? Im thinking about getting watch winder for the watch but if i can just hand wind that would be great. The reason y i want to get winder is because it gets complicated trying to set the time and day and date then have to worry about certain times without screwing up the movement.

Yes, you can hand wind a 7750... but when you wear the watch on your wrist; your natural movements will cause the rotor on the movement to spin and wind the watch automatically... If you just swirl the watch around in your palm enough to get the seconds hand (small subdial on a chrono) moving you have enough "energy" built so set date and time and then wear the watch to fully wind it.

I hope I understood your question to correctly answer... basically, yes you can handwind most auto-movements (Seiko Monsters being an exception), but if you wear the watch for more than an hour or two... you shouldn't need to.
