Eta 7750 reset issues


Recommended Posts

Hi!

I am having problems resetting the chronograph after servicing my IWC porsche design. This is far from my first rodeo on the 7750 and I consider myself quite competent with it. 

The problem lies in the reset operating lever. The pusher stem pushes too low on the reset lever and instead of resetting the chronograph it just flexes inwards. If I use pegwood or a movement holder, it resets correctly because it pushes higher up on the operating lever. 

I was thinking I should either bend the operating lever slightly outwards so it would hopefully overcome the flexing or loosen the cam jumper so it doesnt take as much force to reset. Any ideas and tips would be greatly appreciated if anyone has had a similar issue before, thanks!

Best regards,

Terve Antti!

As you can see from my photo the error is caused by an position error it seems your hammer is riding on top of the chronograph cam .
Somtimes after an service the assembled hammer isn't in the correct place you can check that throght pushing the other button twice.

Moro!

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Reset works perfectly outside the case and doesnt require a lot of effort either. Ive attached a clearer picture.

What I mean when watching your original video video it seems like the hammer which makes the reset is lying above the Cam, thats why it doesn't reset and just flexes.

Aah ok! I checked and it is seated correctly  and if i push the operating lever with my (brass) tweezers it resets properly. I think I just got really unlucky and managed to find the only malfuctioning reset operating lever ever. Thanks for the idea!

I'm a bit of a movement nerd and just want to learn a bit of what movements are used in which watch, yours look like one I had in a watch I owned a couple of years ago, an IWC Flieger chronograph with a C.7922 which also is an derivate of the 7750.

Hello

I have the same problem with my eta7750. How can I correct the position of the cam? I appreciate any tips. Thank you

    • When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan
    • The first one is an Unruh max stake for pushing out staffs
    • Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon      
    • According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb
    • When building a new Watch I have tended to use a file to remove the remnants of dial feet that are not needed as many dials come with four feet to accomodate different movements, but this can be a bit messy so now I use this with a great deal more precision as you can use an appropriate bit for the job and keep it very localised.
