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.

      Black coating on shock jewel metal housing

      Do you use an ultrasonic cleaner or a watch cleaning machine? I've been considering trying out the L&R liquids you mention in my "ancient" Elma watch cleaning machine. However, I worry that these liquids are too toxic and smell too much without adequate ventilation. Where I live it is normally too cold to work with this outdoors, but a few months a year it could work. At some point, I tried Elma's Suprol Pro and almost passed out from the fumes. It comes with a "narcotic effect" warning. How bad are the L&R fluids in this respect?

      I've removed the movement and left it on a windowsill. I'm in north east England, so not very sunny today 😥 however I'll give it a few days and then try a new battery. The document you sent claims the movement is the same as the C700 with regards to parts and assembly. I've managed to find an exploded view of a C700 and some troubleshooting instructions. So if a new battery doesn't work in a few days I'll strip the watch and test the electronic circuit unit. No doubt it will require cleaning and oiling anyway. Thanks again for your help @watchweasol

      Hi. That explains it, done that myself.  Leve the movement open with the back off and battery out for a few days in the sun and let it dry naturally, re fit new battery and try again if  it is not successful the circuit block may be toast,  Better if you can get the movement out of the case for drying what is your location

      Thanks for that. He's worn the watch daily for the last 20 years, he said he didn't even think about it being on his wrist, because it's always there. He had a shower and when he got out he noticed the crystal has condensation on the inside. I may have exaggerated when I said it was FULL of water 😅 I removed the movement from the case last night and there's no sign of water on the coil or battery, however the dial has dried water spots on it. I'm not sure about stripping the movement further, I've never done anything with a quartz movement. I tried looking for a donor movement but they seem to be practically non existent. Even Jules Borel doesn't list this movement in their parts catalogue
