I just stumbled across this video of a 7750 movement being assembled, start to finish. It's very good.

Good video! I enjoy watching nerdy stuff like that :)

Quite surprised that some of the parts don't seem to sit down flat and rock around until screws are wound down :?

Me too, I watched it start to finish. I worry about myself sometimes :)

I know what you mean. I think maybe it's not because of bad fit, but perhaps it's just hard to get something so tiny to sit properly first. Perhaps someone can share some insight :poke:

Can't watch the video because I am at home with just dialup (high speed by April supposedly!!), but generally speaking the wheels are the hardest part to seat because they need to sit in the jewels on bridges and plates, as well as engaging with one another. I try to get a good fit with the feet on the bridges but it is sometimes necessary to tighten bridge screws before they fit properly.

Outstanding video, ably supported by the second movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony (my favourite movement) :D

Never seen that before and I'm very glad I did, very cool. Fiddly and painstaking though, easy to drop a screw I'd imagine.

Great find!

No high speed??? Where are you, Nunavut?? LOL? I'm sitting in the middle of the forest with high speed being bounced in by a string of towers originating in Hamilton. The last tower services about 15 local homes. Wouldn't have bought the house without it.

Great video, I love stuff like that and it seriously makes me consider taking a course... this kind of delicate work is right up my alley.

One of the joys of living in an area of cottage country that is more agriculture than cottages. Still, only 4 months to go!

Technically yes, but only 128K, $1,500+ for hardware and $125 per month for restricted bandwidth.

Given that I am only using it on weekends / holidays and occasional evenings I'll wait for 'real' highspeed (fixed wireless).

Huh? How could you live for 4 more months with no high-speed internet? Sounded to me like you then don't check every pics posted in every thread in this forum then?! Aren't you supposed to be a "moderator"?? Don't you really care about the various posts and concerns of all the members here?!! DO YOU EVEN LOVE BREITLINGS ANYMORE???!! :guns:

(I kid, I kid... :mrgreen: )
