| Post subject: | Question to everyone, but specially to 7750 experts |
I've just learned that after lots of warranty issues Omega has developed a better version of the hours counter mechanism (at 6 o'clock, under the dial) that solves every problem in connection with the hours counter - not only the hand alignment problem. I've also learned that this alternative solution is interchangeable with "normal" 7750-s. I know that ETA developed a 2.0 version of this part of the 7750 to solve only the hand alignment problem in December 2001 (ETA Information Nr. 44.). Questions: 1. Are there infos about IWC and Breitling (heavy users of the highest grade 7750-s) if they've also developed such modifications like Omega? 2. If yes, since what time do they use the modifications? (According to Pius Brida IWC began to use the ETA modifications - only for hand alignment problem - in January 2002. I have no info on Breitling.) 3. If yes, which manufacturer's modification is the best (among Omega, IWC and Breitling)? Reason for these questions: I have now 2 IWC-s, 4 Breitlings and a Sinn with 7750-s (from between 1994 and 2006) and plan to buy more. I already had the typical hours counter problem (unable to stop the hand) once. I have to decide if these watches undergo regular maintenance to replace these parts with the Omega (or IWC or Breitling) modifications. In this case it is practical to order 6-8 pieces from Omega (if theirs proves to be the best) and use them one by one on these maintenace occasions. Every input is welcome! I post this questions on several fora so you might read it more than once. Best, Robert |

Breitling never reveals what modifications they make so there is no way to know for sure. That said, Breitling are now effectively producing in house 7750s and I am sure that they are taking hte opportunity to make modifications to meet their own standards and I would expect known design weaknesses to be addressed. In terms of hwich is better, I'm not sure that there is really any way to say - there are a number of ways to redesign around the problem and as long as the solution works without introducing additional problems then it's 'good enough'. |
