Bought this today. Looking good but there is some parts missing. hopping to find some new ones. i have search for a parts list . BUt can't seem to find anything on 7765. Would any other  parts work. Looks like the hammer is missing. And the bridge. I hope i haven't bought a pig i a sack. As we say in Sweden :) 

Watch is working but not very good. 

Can you help me out which parts i need to make it work as it should again. That little gear that takes care or the second sub is missing to. And the support for it. Or is that just in the 7750? Need a PDF

Jules Borel lists  8079 too.  Both 8079 and 8080 are available elsewhere though. If you can find someone with deeper access to the ETA portal you may be able to get the modifications history

So a 8079 would work also? I thought i would order the missing parts from cousinsuk.  Can check with cousinsuk maybe?

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      I also see a bit of danger for the wheel, at least you have to keep away from it and may get a too thick rest ring. My rest rings are about 0.05 mm. Better way would be a grinding wheel touching the staff with its circumference. Frank

      Stem broken - can it be rescued?

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Not easy to find this one everywhere,  so it depends where you are located. Joining it back together might be possible, i have silver soldered mild steel before even with traditional plumbers lead and its a pretty strong joint, but bere in mind this is only 1mm diameter.  The join would need to be very accurate,  it not something i have heard of anyone trying before. The part no 401 is the swiss code number and relates to watch winding stems in general

      Thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I think between us we’ve worked out what’s going on. Next job is to have a proper look at this great wheel assembly, see if I can remove the clip and the friction fit pinion, give the bits a good clean, then put it back together with a bit of blue grease. I’ll also get the pallet fork under the microscope to see if it’s ok or been damaged.

      The cannon pinion (be it conventional style or what you see in this movement) should slip on its arbour so the hands can be set independently without affecting the gear train.  If there is too much friction between the cannon pinion and the second wheel, turning the hands to set them backwards can sometimes force the escape wheel teeth to overrun the pallet stones, creating the behaviour you describe. The train is running in reverse when this happens.  This can often chip the pallet stones. I’d say at least half of the watches I’ve inspected with very tight cannon pinions had chipped pallet stones. Hopefully this isn’t the case with your watch.  I’m not familiar with this movement but you need to get the friction in the cannon pinion adjusted correctly.  Hope this helps, Mark

      Pallet fork was in. I’d had the movement running ok, and only removed the balance to flip it over and install the keyless works and date mechanism. The pallet fork wasn’t locking the gear train when hand setting - it was oscillating as the escape wheel rotated. This may have been in one direction only - can’t remember.
