One of the problems when looking for spare parts of course is identifying the watch you're looking for spare parts for. But there's the other problem what makes you think that whoever made this watch actually had spare parts available for the watchmaker? -

Shipped back today.... -
I don't wear or own a watch. I have 12 clocks in my home but I only wind one per week, each week it is a different one. I'm funny that way. 🤣 -
Speaking of 404 reboot.... I have another category of watches... Those that I wished I had not gone above £4.04 when I bid for them!!! Someone probably should have also told me to stop before I put a new stem, crown, crystal, escape wheel and then adjusted the end shake on the escape wheel. This was all on watch that had a EB 8800 pin lever movement in a worn gold plated case with a snap on case back (basically everything I try to avoid!). -

The problem is that this movements were not produced with the modern level of standartization, there for parts from one didn't fit well to another, even if they may look the same. May be it doesn't concern the winding stems, but yet there are not spare parts for such movements in supply companies, not even clear calibre identification possible. And where calibre identification is possible, there are no Ronda numbers for the balance staff or the winding stem for this calibers in the data bases.
