Round click spring?

[jdm]

Another lesson learned, I broke the click of a Seagull mov.t  (no parts available) while letting down power. Bad design, isn't flexible enough to stay away from the ratchet wheel while do so. Better let it unwind by itself if possible, or be extra super cautious. Anyone can suggest a spring that I can adapt? The hole is 3.5mm.

hmmm, is this movement of chinese design? or is it a clone?

I think CousinUK offers an assortment of click springs for short money.

Good Luck,

Have a Seagull watch i can't repair. I can have a look if it has the same movement. And if the part is okay in it. 

Is this the same? Doesn't look like it? This has a normal clickspring.

Even "round" ones? Someone told me that he has never seen one like that, and he has seen very many.

You're always super helpful Rogart!
Then I placed it above a 7S26 calendar plate.

It's just 0.03mm thinner. I know how I will spend a couple hours tomorrow

As soon as I saw this part I thought "isn't that a regulator?!". A quick search and you'll see what I mean: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arrow-Register-Regulator-Ref-300-Sh-Al-11-1-5-Russo-Automatic/223510751654 !

I suspect you're already looking forward to a couple of hours of filing on the calendar plate, and I realise a regulator may be too thin, but maybe worth a second look in your spares box in case this idea offers another avenue!

No, mine it's an open-heart, big date, full calendar. I was thinking it's a Sea-gull 2L55 that has same size and layout, but the calendar works is different. Quite poor quality, likely due to a shock one shock spring went roaming bith small hands same, and rotor has separated at "riveting", yet the owner wants it repaired at any cost.

Not pretty, but it works fine. My first
