Help sizing mainspring


AP1875

Recommended Posts

I unwound a mainspring from an automatic chinese watch. 

As I was greasing the mainspring the end snapped very easily.

I need to purchase a new one from Cousins. 

 

The measurements I have are 

1.43 high

1.12 thick

500mm long

I can't seem to find anything on cousins that's close to these measurements?

Is it important to get the exact size? How far can I deviate from my measurements? 

Could I use a valjoux 7750

1.50 x. 115 x 600?

What is the cal number? that is all you need. 

It's a chinese clone, so unfortunately I can't rely on referencing the cal. the sizes won't be right. With the measurements I know exactly what I need. 

Nothing matches up precisely on cousins so I am now wondering how much deviation I can allow for?
