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.

      How to recognize radioactive watches.

      By rjenkinsgb · Posted

      Interesting, but not very accurate, unfortunately. Using the word "Radiation" without specifying the specific type of radiation [what is being radiated] is one of the commonest mistakes - and most confusing to non-technical people.  Also, I believe the commonest lume in general use nowadays is just a phosphor compound that is "charged" be exposure to light? I've never personally see a watch with tritium lume, and it's not something I would particularly want as the decay is quite rapid with a half life around 12.5 years. Tritium is also of course radioactive, emitting beta particles, and it can possibly cause cancer if ingested!   Re. geiger counters, it's also important to note that many on internet sites are fakes that detect RF rather than, or as well as, ionising radiation. Or just low quality that likely only detect gamma, or gamma and alpha. Only high quality mica window GM tubes will detect beta; all the cheap geiger counters I can see on on ebay at present that show the tubes, use glass or quartz - despite claiming to detect beta

      Seiko 6309a diver crown replacement

      Some things that we think of as relatively new or modern have been  around for a very long time. Alloy mainsprings, balance wheels and hairsprings and epilame for example were developed over 80 years ago. I use clear nail varnish for glueing crowns on, as well using it when making fibre bristle oilers and tweeking tools, its easy to apply if you get a move on after taking it out of the bottle and sets nice and hard.

      Hello, How do I open a screw back cover on a hidden lug watch? It is perfectly round and rotates in the watch holder.   Thanks!
