hi guys, i’m looking to pick some knowledge off you if possible, does anyone know what factory this is from? just out of interest sake really, I've grown to love it, i know not to use the chrono, just wondering if there are any other tricks i need in order to hopefully prolong its life, are they easily serviced?? not had any experience getting a rep serviced in the uk…. yet, thanks guys
It’s a modified Asian 7750 sec@3. Reliability will be the same as the A7750 sec@12, which isn’t the best.hi guys, i’m looking to pick some knowledge off you if possible, does anyone know what factory this is from? just out of interest sake really, I've grown to love it, i know not to use the chrono, just wondering if there are any other tricks i need in order to hopefully prolong its life, are they easily serviced?? not had any experience getting a rep serviced in the uk…. yet, thanks guys
A service and Swiss mainspring replacement will increase the reliability of the movement but still not make it totally reliable. I believe the maker of the watch was JF.
thanks legend, would it be a good idea to look for someone to do that work as a preventative measure or leave it and wait for any problems to appear? i’ve currently got my feelers out looking for a watchman to do some service work, no luck as yet
From my experience it’s best to leave it until it runs into issues, IF it’s running well now. The reason being, the alignment of the movement parts may be put together in a specific way by the factory and during service the watchsmith will do it in his own natural way and this may occasionally cause the movement to seize up despite being serviced.
If you need to consult me you can PM me.@legend able to PM me? Have some watch repair issues to consult you
@legend any chance you can give me some advise or do I need to contact someone else, whom please?@legend a friend from Denmark who’s Franken you built did tell me you are one of the less people who can answer this

Hi guys, I'm new here. Just want to ask if it's possible to engrave the movment in the RO 15500 ZF v3 (a4302) as a mod or should we just wait for upcoming batches ??
3303 is thicker than the 1185 and the running seconds is at 9 o’clock instead of 6. *maybe* it could be modded and made to fit a gen spec case, but why risk it? Just go with a 1185 from a cartier or blancpain watch.
Thanks Mate! Was also worried about it being thicker. Then it’s confirmed not to use it. Unfortunately I cannot find any 1185 unless to buy a complete watch. Was just offered a blancpain with 22k gold rotor but it is 3.6k. :-(
Imho 3.6k is a very good price for a 1185 donor watch with a 22k gold rotor. You may regret it if you miss it.
They are not screws which come sunken but rather a mod which recesses your bezel screws to look sunken.
