I just looked at my Specialty Subaqua movement INVICTA 4837

I just looked at my Specialty Subaqua movement INVICTA 4837

:think: Pretty darn sure I found an SW500 movement. It says "25 jewels TWENTY-FIVE SWISS" on the movement, no signs of ETA or 7750!

I don't know if I can take pics. Darned unhappy about thisView attachment 15344

What you guys think? New to the forum and read about the Corduba problems!!
 
I checked out my Invicta Specialty Invicta 4837 and found a surprise

:think:
I am a new member and read about the Corduba movement swap problem. I think I found the SW500 movement is this watch.View attachment 15346

The movement reads 25 Jewels Twenty-Five SWISS. I don't see ETA or 7750 anywhere on the back.

Have I found yet another sad Invicta story?

What you guys think?
 
Welcome to the WiT forum Eddie, hope to see you participate and contribute often. Sorry to hear about the prob with watch. Unfortunately, posting in this long dead thread you're pulling off a scab from a deep almost healed wound around these parts. Get ready for the responses.
 
Dumb me, I tried to open a new thread. This doesn't really seem like the place for this new potential con-job. I don't expect hardly anyone to visit this old thread.
 
You know I had almost forgotten about this. I didn't have a 7750 at the time and I do now. It likes to wobble, so I think its real, but now I need to check! Hope yours is correct Eddie, but kinds feels like its not. Welcome to the forum.
 
I finally found 7750 on the movement also. I am confused because I was told that only Sellita puts 25 jewels Twenty-five and SWISS on the SW500. ????
 
Just feels right to post here again about my Corduba Enforcer. With an SW500.
On top of the original purchase price I also paid for a repair, the very one that ended up causing this thread to get started to begin with. And now, the same watch is off for a second identical repair along with it's associated big invoice. If it fails again I'm calling the watch cursed, exorcising the demon, and smashing the thing with a hammer. Done.

On a slightly side note, the only member I'm aware of who actually sent in his Corduba Enforcer and had the BiGI install the as advertised ETA7750, now also needs a repair. He can no longer push in the stem and screw down the crown. Seems there's a problem with something but he has yet to send it anywhere for a repair. He won't be sending it to the BiGI.

I expect to hear from TWR any day now telling me my watch is repaired and ready to be returned.
 
Man o man. Rip the movement out and throw that watch away. Go on eBay and buy a case that movement will fit in and build your own watch.


Sent from the White House on the tax payers dime.

I just noticed that mine has the same problem that the crown won't screw in anymore.. I'm going to check with a local shop first and see if the part necessary for repair is non proprietary. If not , I will have to send mine back also......if I get the urge.....I might just use the watch as a wheel chock....

One of the issues with my watch was the crown only screwed in about a half turn. Of course I was concerned that it wasn't sealing properly so included checking and repairing it on the service request form. When I received the estimate there was nothing about the crown and stem tube on it so I asked them to double check the request and get back to me. They confirmed they had looked at it and that it was fine.

Ok, fine. One of the things TWR does when they work on a watch is verify/test the watch for leaks. If it does leak through the crown they'll find it.
 
Arrived today.
The watch seems to operate much more smoothly that it ever has. The crown and stem are much easier to use, much more smooth to pull and operate. Before, the stem took much more effort to pull to set the watch but now it clicks out without much effort. And the watch winds much more smoothly than before.
This all makes me feel like the previous repair was crap.

Anyway, I hope this repair lasts. One of my favorites works again and will get put into the rotation but if it fails me again.....
