DOXA by Synchron

[rossjackson01]

This is to be my project. May take a while as I want to get it right.

DOXA by Synchron. Movement is Cal 41 (ETA 2750)

Winds OK and runs OK. However, I will do a service and replace the crystal and any parts. I have not yet opened the watch. Looking at videos first to familiarise myself.

Placed on Timegrapher. Result can be seen in photograph.

The 2750 is a nice movement to work on. Aged enough to make you feel like you are working on an older watch, but new enough that the shock protection is modern and parts/spares are plentiful. It's one of those ETA movements where you don't need to pull the cannon pinion – it just slides on with no "snap" so it comes off easily as well. It has dial hooks rather than screws, and a push-button stem release instead of a screw head. Oscillation is a bit faster than its 18,000 predecessors (2370 and 2390) but not as fast as the 28XX generations.

Most non-military 2750s don't have the balance stop lever installed, but the plate will be milled to accept one so it's easy to drop in if you can find one and you want a hacking movement.

Some more positional readings will might show you where to look for issues Ross. Nice watch btw.
