Hello you all:

I have the posibility to buy a 7740 transocean. The problem is that one of the pushers for the chrono is broken...
The question is if it is posible to replace it for a 7740 bullhead pusher (There are some cases for sale on the ebay). If this is not posible... Are there any alternatives?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Oscar

No idea if it will fit, but replacement pushers can generally be found that are fairly close. I'm sure that chronodeco, our resident watchmaker, would be able to find something that worked if he were doing the servicing on the piece.

I second that. Craig has fixed and replaced pushers for me. He does a phenomenal job!!!

correct pushers can be tricky to find - have seen watchmakers gluing in pushers that "almost fit",
a hassle to remove and restore.

I am sending my watches to the US - after years of experience with alternatives.

Gees talk about learning the hard and expensive way. I can vouch for that.
