I would like to start making my own fabric nato style straps.  I have an industrial sewing maching that could handle webbing no problem, but every source of webbing I've found is in non-metric sizing.  There are few I found on the various chinese sites that has 20mm strap material, but not 18 or 22 which is prodominantly what I'm looking for, and they dont have any patterns.  Does anybody know where I can find a source for standard watch strap sized fabric webbing and the hardware?  I can get thread easily...and I'm in canada, if its relevant.

This is not something I have ever looked for, but as it happens, you might get some product leads here. (Not China, but India).

Also try polyproylene webbing, canvas webbing and other similar search terms.

I suspect if you contact any of the manufacturers direct, and are placing a reasonable order, they will weave whatever width and pattern you want. I'm sure there must be suppliers in the US and Canada too.

thanks :)

 

I have a nylon strap and it needs to be cleaned regularly,, id prefer a polyester or polypropylene strap.  I wasnt planning on starting a business, but I suppose if I could think of enough uses for the fabric I could order a fair bit

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
