Can I ask if the 7750 is genuine eta or an Asian copy? Some of the jeweling in the Asian versions is different than the Swiss.

If you have a jeweling kit the easiest option would be to carefully remove the Jewel so you can measure the outside dimension and then measure the pivot and order a new Jewel and refit. Will obviously then need to check and adjust the end shake.

Big issue is I don't have a Jeweling kit! That is a bigger investment that I may need to dive into. I guess there is no reaming out an existing jewel as the material would be too hard. I believe this is an Asian 7750.

Right on, this is the 2nd or 3rd posting in a short time where people assumes Asian copies can interchange parts with the original, and buy parts without prior research before purchase.

Shame, if careful a staking kit can be used to swap jewels at a pinch.

What happened to the original wheel and why is it being replaced? Is the pinion ok on the original wheel?

I crushed the original wheel pivot when screwing down the plate. A mature mistake.

      B-Dip residue?

      By Geotex · Posted

      We think about these preps as "one-dips" partly because they are terrific solvents but also because the parts they are used on are often cleaner in general than many other parts. But old oils petrify, and even something like B-Dip can't clean up over-soiled parts without some extra effort, as mentioned above. There is an intermediate step during cleaning where the solvent can partially dissolve tarry residues so they have a more liquid varnish-like consistency, and that could well be what you are seeing on the coils after two washes. I wouldn't worry that your B-Dip was contaminated before you used it on this hairspring, but it I wouldn't re-use that aliquot AFTER this cleaning!

      Hamilton Khaki Mechanical / H-50 winding issues

      Welcome to the forum, enjoy.. Normally if a hand wound watch does not fully wind ie just keeps winding there is an error with mainspring, either slipping around its winding arbour or the mainspring is broken.

      Most all my 404 candidates are coming from swap meets and "antiques fairs". One more $4US plus battery and elbow grease. Unnamed digital on a decent ss bracelet. Gains 10 seconds a day so not that accurate...

      I voted.for the 6.99 assuming £, which works out to $8.74US at the current exchange rate.

      £4.04 originally worked out to $5, or thereabouts accounting for currency fluctuations. Inflation calculator from 2020 (when the thread was started, though not when Andy coined the term) says we're looking at $6 currently. What currency is the 6.99 inflation adjusted figure cited in the poll? $6 may still seem restrictive, but don't forget that's part of the point. It's a challenge. Thrill of the hunt and all. Diamonds in the rough. Also, and my personal angle on the game, a fun and inexpensive way to learn watchmaking skills.
