I have made enquiries with Cousins who contacted Bergeon re-size of the Bergeon winders. The 7750 has an interenal barrel dia. of 12.50mm but Bergeon do not carry this size . They supply either 12 mm or 13mm & I suppose I would have to use the 12mm one if I want to use Bergeon. Ofri in the USA supply Bergeon copies for exact calibers but are $85 + postage and possibly import duties. I have just purchased a new mainspring spring for the 7750 but am intrigued to know if the 12mm would work.

Clockboy,

 

Here is Mark's post from another thread regarding 7750.

 

 

I have purchased cheap mainspring winders in the past and they have been terrible. In the end I plumped for the 5356 Set. It serves both left hand and right hand mainsprings. But I find mostly that I use sizes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

 

Most swiss movements use the clockwise wound handle and cranks and I find the anti-clockwise handle and cranks useful for Japanese (like Seiko).

 

There is a special ETA set, but I find #8 is OK for the 7750 and using size #7 with #6 crank (carefully) works well for 2892-A2 and 2824

 

The rest in the set I rarely use.

I bought the 12mm about a year ago to do a 7750 as my set only goes up to no 7 and it works fine. mmmm! must finish that one day :wacko: Actually I just looked and my set has no number 4 just 0,1,2,3,5,6,7 and now 8 !

Anything bigger or left handed I do the old fashioned way I just give my hands a good scrub first.

I used to wind all my springs by hand. However it,s the final centre part that can be difficult and on a number of occasions I bent the spring at this stage & that,s why I now use a winder.

      Hour hand won’t go past certain spot when adjusting time forwards

      If the watch is new, just return it to the seller for a refund or replacement.

      Keevo, Welcome to the group ! I'm thinking that you have some damage to the hour, and/ or minute wheel. Possibly just a bent, otherwise damaged, or missing tooth.   Your photo didn't post that I can see. I think you'll have to open it to start really finding the issue. Best, Randy

      Cap jewel with what looks like a circular engraving around the edge

      By mikepilk · Posted

      In cap jewels on several watches I have serviced over the years. I've recently serviced a couple of Longines movements where the cap jewels were colourless. They are a real pain. Without colour they disappear when immersed in any liquid for cleaning 😲 Not necessarily. Cousins do a 10ml bottle for £26 which will last me for years. That's just half the price of a simple Bergeon silicone cushion, so not too expensive 🤣

      Etachron regulation system

      By BobG · Posted

      I wanted to post an update as I have two movements running really well now, 230-250 amplitude , 0.5 and under beat error, and +/-8 seconds or so. I removed the hairspring assembly in order to start over and noticed that the terminal curve between the stud and regulator arm was distorted. The stud was lower than it should be. I massaged the curve to look pretty good and reinstalled it. I followed Alex's video advice, best I could with 10x magnification, and with the regulator arm set in the middle of the curve I adjusted the stud so the spring was centered. I then made sure I could move the regulator arm the entire terminal curve without upsetting the coils. I then put it back on the Timegrapher and began closing down the regulator pins until I saw a change in amplitude which means to me that the pins were now pinching the spring. I opened them slightly and it looks good except I have a 0 on dial down, +3 on dial up but -16 on crown down.  I'm a bit stuck on how to adjust out the positional error. I also noticed a drop in amplitude, 180-200 on crown down. In the other video link I posted at about minute 26 if I remember he adjusts out positional error by manipulating  the regulator pin gap. With crown down the hairspring falls away from the pin and the rate slows so he closes the pins a bit to keep them tighter in crown down position. That means the spring is tighter on dial up as well but then he moved the regulator arm to slow the movement.  There must be some Seiko experts here that have some methods for dialing out positional errors.
