Hey guys, now that KW's modified 7750's have been out for awhile, I was wondering if anyone has had their watch serviced? Mine has been winding roughly the last couple of days so I want to get it serviced. Has anyone run into issues with getting it serviced?

if its not running fast or slow or stopping in the middle of u wearing it, dont think its necessary to have it serviced.

but its your choice :)

Yeah, it's running great at only +4 to +7 seconds fast per day. I really like this watch so I want it to last awhile. I'm concerned the rough winding is indicative of poor lubrication or debris in the keyless which might damage the movement. I've even considered swapping a swiss7750 into it as long as the modifications can be swapped as well. But first I need to get my 187g finished, order a vac swiss 243 and a Marlin 127! This is getting expensive!

Ha, definitely and yeah I did spend a lot money recently including the KW 411 I purchased. Regarding the Marlin modified 127, I haven't had to spend any money yet since I'm pretty sure i'm near the end of the long list of buyers waiting to get theirs. Who knows when the 127's will be back in stock! So technically i'm only planning on dishing out for the Vac 243 in the near future. See, i'm no that addicted! :wyliehelp:

Hi, did your watchsmith say anything about having any difficulty servicing the movement because of the modifications? Also, how is it running now?
