Hello all,
I recently purchased a Breitling Super Avenger (Asia Valjoux 7750 Automatic movement) and I am having some problems with the chronograph. Looking for whatever advice anyone can offer. Here is my problem ….
The Chronograph minute and second hand are frozen and will not reset to 12 o’clock. If you look at my attached picture you can see the problem.
The second hand for the chronograph is stuck at 57 seconds and won’t move and the 30 min timer is also stuck at about 5 minutes.
If you attempt to reset the chronograph the standard way it just wiggles and stays where it is.
Does anyone know if there is a way to re-calebrate the movement to adjust the hands back to 12 o’clock?
( Others have said that I might have done this my-self, I do not believe that to be the case, I did not press the re-set while the chrono was running, it had problems since day 1 and I do not want to send it back incase it goes missing or seized and then I will have nothing at all)
( I also called a local repair shop and they told me it would be about $230 to repair and they would rebuild the movement) this seems pretty pricy, does anyone know what else I could do, is there a simple fix ? if not does anyone know where I can get a good movement which is proper for the Super Avenger ?
THANK YOU
