Hello from Mallorca


Recommended Posts

Hi all, best regards form Mallorca, Spain.

I came here looking for information on how to repair an ETA 7750 and I found Lawson's wonderful job.

I am not a watchmaker, I am an electronics technician and in my free time I also play with mechanical devices.

My watch, a Fortis B42 Flieger Chronograph, had a fault in the chronograph, then the oscillating weight was blocked. I take it to the watchmaker but the repair budget is very expensive for me. As I could wind it manually I kept using it until a few days ago it was very hard and I preferred not to force it.
I have acquired several tools to treat it. I discovered that the
AutomaticDeviceBridge was loose. I have restrained it and at least the automatic works again.

At the moment I will not continue to mistreat it, I want to practice with broken and simpler clocks until I acquire the necessary skill to work on it.

Kind Regards.
