Great watch and it's in beautiful shape! Nice job on getting it back on the road! I have the same watch that my parents gave me back in the 80's. It's me beater watch but it's still in good shape. Crappy pic but here's one of my 7A28s. Great calibre!

Holy crap that's a beautiful example of that model (one of my favorites too). Nice nice job. Yeah, the pusher clips are really something. I've had to work up a system that includes a big Ziploc bag, a hardwood peg as a pusher, and some silicon grease to hold the clip in place. I've lost too many of them. By the way, really nice job photographing this model. Very nice. Here's a picture of mine - I found it on Craigslist all the way across the country for a great price. Thankfully, while it was thousands of miles from me, it was only a few miles from where we used to live on Cape Cod. I got hold of our old neighbor and friend, and she cheerfully went over there and picked it up for me.

they're hell on wheels to fully service. Easily twice the time of a 6138.

I'd definitely buy one, if I could find a nice example on it's original bracelet.

Thanks for the heads up, but I think I'd like to find one in better condition.

Thanks guys.
Spencer I did use your tip about sticking the clip to the pusher end with a dab of silicone grease. I was doubtful, but it did make the process a lot easier.
I'd love to know how these clips are applied in the factory. Think of all the G Shocks that use the same clips!

Looks great now! I have a few of it's 7A cousins, but don't have a 7A28-7040 yet...maybe someday. Here were my 7As as of a couple months ago.... (one of the 7A38-7080s has since gone to a new home)
