7750 eta & chinese pin broken


Recommended Posts

Hi guys I got my hands on a Chinese 7750 which is broken to play with and I wanna make it work. First I'm impressed by the quality of the movement when I took it apart.

It's far from the quality of the standard Chinese B etc. movements.

 

I figured out that there was a broken pin on the barrel and train wheel bridge which holds the Minute counter driving wheel.

 

I got the original train wheel bridge from a 7765 which fits the Chinese 7750 perfectly just the diameter of the broken pin is wrong.

So I could just put an original wheel. But I want to learn how to fix a broken pin which looks friction fit.

 

So how do I replace the pin?

Where can I buy these pins / what is the name for it (German name would be awesome ????).

I was hoping to finally have a good excuse to buy a staking set [emoji4]

 

 

The Chinese movement is the top one:

Thank you guys I'm looking forward to your answers

    • Bringing this old thread back to life, as I have similar problem. I did follow this advice, but while inserting a male stem (crown side) and just pushed it to the female part, and the fork (female side) of the stem has broken. What is the right way? Push the stem part so it widens the gap and fits in? Why it was then receiving side got broken? Old metal? It is a vintage watch from late 60s.    or the outer part should be inserted somehow from the side (slipping to the gap), but I don’t have space there for this manipulation. The watch is Orient Fineness monocoque case.   thank you!  
    • Thats insane Nev that you cut those tiny pinion teeth with a cutter you designed and made. 
    • I certainly do Razz. Ive just started work on this AS554, interestingly enough it had a paper dial made from a postcard , look at the brand name on the dial, very curious. 
    • [SBGA405] Grand Seiko “Godzilla” Spring DriveI always enjoy coming back at the end of the week to my first Spring Drive watch which is a combined automatic mechanical watch and a high quality quartz — a Spring Drive.Impressive accuracy (10 seconds per month) and wears remarkably comfortable at 44.5 mm in diameter and 95 gm.Love the power reserve indicator, and the colour of the dial amd the watch band.One of my “perfect” watches!!😍
    • Yep, so we got a 10 1/2  ligne movement, thats the starting point now these bad boys books should hopefully get us across the finishing line . Next we need a good clear picture of that rocking bar, the setting lever and the setting lever spring. I've already got an idea what it might be.
