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.

      Seiko 6309a diver crown replacement

      “Traditional” was probably a poor choice of words. What I was trying to say was that I perceived Waggy's proposal as more modern than the now generally accepted one. Water and sugar? Do you have a source on that or is it just a guess? Is the inside of the crown stainless? Water and metal don't sound like a very good combination otherwise.

      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
