Obselete Watch Parts Wanted

[Tom Huber]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

PW&C, Please give us more info,ie size, model, SN, and a pic of the watch showing where the missing/broken springs are.

Tom

Hello all.

I'm looking for setting springs for a Hampden 302. Both the dial side spring and the movement side spring are broken so I need both springs or a donor watch with springs intact.

I'll make them if I can't find them but would rather save the time on this job.

 

[PW&C]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Thanks anyway Tom.

There is only one Hampden model 302 and only two setting springs. Anyone who knows Hampdens would know what I need.

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

PW&C, suppose someone has a junk movement and works on clocks or just Walthams, he may not know what he has so pictures are extremely helpful for those of us who have old movements around.

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

I need seiko parts #s 998610 which is called Indicator wheel and 999610 which is the indicator spring for a cal 6117-6420T world time watch. I have the watch stem that these parts slide on but somehow these two parts are gone. I have found the springs on ebay but the cog itself I haven't found. This parts is a cog that slides on the watch stem and rotates the world time bezel that is inside the watch. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Re: Watch Parts Wanted - Hamilton 2987 Sweep Second Pinion

Yes, I thought the part # specs were in the the file, in fact, they are but the file doesn't load correctly . You can get a CD with all the info from the NAWCC Libarary

I can certainly try to get the CD. But if you see a part number for the 2987 Sweep Second Pinion that would be just as good - that's all I need.

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Hampden 302's are always marked with "302" on the movement, so pictures are superfluous.

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Fine! I have a cubic ft box of Hampden parts. In this box, I have a small box of probably 200 miscellaneous little wire setting springs. I'm sure I have what you need. But, because it is above you to give further information, I know not to spend any time finding what you need. Good luck.

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Since the springs are missing, pictures would be impossible so what further information would you require? It seems that I have misplaced my factory catalog with parts diagrams for the 302.

Re: Watch Crystals

Anyone have a source for some negative set threaded sleeves (small ones) to fit wrist watch cases? I am in need of 3-4....

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Looking for an Accutron 219 parts movement. Specifically the setting parts and associated screws. Any help is appreciated.

 

[Glenn Davis]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Willy try here at dashto he has a couple of the parts you need I think.

[Glenn Davis]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

He also is showing a 2193 parts movement for $49 that I think has the identical key set parts but I am not that familiar with the 219 Movements. Here is the link to the movement.

[Willyrover]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Thanks for the suggestions. That parts movement might be an option but $49 is a bit rich for my blood.

 

[Glenn Davis]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

I understand I've ran into that problem before too. Shoot him an offer you never know he might sell it cheaper he is a great guy to deal with but I've never tried to dicker because the price is usually reasonable for what I needed at the time. I do know the 219 parts are extremely hard to source so good luck with your hunt. I use to play with 218's a good bit until the pawls became almost impossible to find and my eyes got tired so I sold off all my parts a few weeks ago.

Re: Watch Crystals

I have hundreds of negative set sleeves but you're going to have be a little more specific. Do you have a picture or something? Measurements?

 

[Nedredbeard]

Re: Watch Crystals

Hi, does anyone have a set lever and clutch lever for an e.howard n size pocket watch. the clutch lever pictured on movement is a previously home made deal and not suitable.

Re: Watch Crystals

Quick measurement tells me the one Elgin case needs a thread diameter of 2.7mm. The other Elgin case is a tad smaller.

 

[Nedredbeard]

Re: Watch Crystals

Dude, I need a picture of the sample. These things are super specific.

 

[MINI]

Re: Watch Crystals

Dude, best i can do at this time. The ones i need look like these ones. Thread diameter ranges from 2.3mm to 2.7mm & needed for Elgin wrist watch cases. Length is slightly less than the thread diameter, say 2 - 2.4mm

 

[Glenn Davis]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

I need a stem and crown for a Russian 3602 pocket watch movement. I can find plenty in Russia but really would like to find one here stateside. Anyone have one sitting around?

thanks, Glenn

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Hi,

Can anyone help with a hunting case crystal, diameter 22.0 mm (9 & 12 sixteenths in old money), and a height of 5 or 6, please?

Thanks,

Graham

 

[Jim Haney]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Graham,
These are regular stock items from most suppliers. I have a assortment of Stella Hunting case crystals and keep it stocked with regular ordering
They are marked GHC -Size(22-226).

 

[Dave Coatsworth]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Actually, assuming Graham wants a glass crystal, it will not be that easy to find. Most glass crystal assortments started the hunters at 10 ligne or 22.5mm. Finding a hunter smaller than 10 is going to be a challenge, especially in a 5 or 6 height.

 

[gmorse]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Hi Dave,

Yes, you're right, a glass crystal is preferable.

Regards,

Graham

 

[Glenn Davis]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Looking for the special sized gold case screws and the gold regulator spring with screw for my Illinois 801 grade 16S watch .The case screws have a smaller diameter shaft and are shorter than normal case screws. If anyone has any of them please PM me.


Thanks , Glenn

 

[Dave Coatsworth]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Just noticed that ofrei has 9 ligne hunters in stock. They are height '7', but that might be all you can find in this size. http://www.ofrei.com/page783.html

 

[Nedredbeard]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

I have these glass crystals, not sure about the height. They are pretty low.

 

[Dave Coatsworth]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Those are Mi-Emp crystals, which are really for open face. They are thicker than hunting (Geneva) crystals. They might work, however, if there is enough room under the hunting case lid.

 

[gmorse]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Hi Dave,

Thanks, I'd looked at those, but I believe a 7 will not give enough clearance for the hands, although there seems to be plenty for the outer lid.

Nedredbeard, thanks for digging those out.

Regards,

Graham

 

[gmorse]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Hi,

An update: I've found that the pin in the hollow centre arbor, (it's a Swiss movement), was slightly bent by a previous person trying to increase the friction between the pin and the arbor, thus causing the minute hand to wander up and down, fouling the dial and the crystal alternately. Now that I've made a new pin, the hand runs true and the existing crystal is no longer too low, so please delete this request.

Regards,

Graham

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Hi All,

Urgently in need of a early style 18s Hamilton Regulator (has a recess onthe inside, retains with the jewel screws) if someone would like to part with one.

Thanks to All,

Bila,
Be more specific or use a picture of the part.

Do you mean the regulartor whip spring, arm, or nut assembly, that moves the arm ?

 

[Bila]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Apologies Jim, it is from a early Grade 939, Hanilton parts catalog lists an early and late one, chasing the poimter arm that reaches across to the fast & slow scale. I have looked at a lot of early model Hamiltons with serial numbers well before mine, they do not mount the same as they have a larger hole where they attach (push down) over the balance cock. The one on mine just sits on the balance cock and is retained by the jewel screws as they slightly overhang the mount point this is why the arm needs to have a slight recess on the inner edge closest to the mount point, the mount point is smaller diameter then normally seen. Maybe it is missing something like a retaining cap, although I did not think they used one. I will post photos as soon as I get a chance.

Cheers,
Bila

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Hi All,

Have at last worked out what I need with regard to the regulator, I need the regulator indicator arm and cap from either a Grade 937 or 939 18s Hamilton.

Thanks to All.

 

[Jim Haney]

Re: Watch Parts Wanted

Bila,
The Hamilton Parts catalog list 2 size regulator arms for the 18s and only because the hunting arm has the lobe that goes into the adjuster on the oppsite side of the open face .
