Hello all. was hhoping someone may know where i may find an original Tissot watch banf for my 1972 Tissot Seastar. It is a 2018-44807 20mm watch band. Any leads you may have would be great since I am having difficulty locating one through the well known sources such as EBAY or CHRONO24.

Hi  An introduction is usual on the site for new members seeking advise.

The best place would be to contact Tissot and ask for a listing of dealers/agents in your area, Failing that Contact the BHI British Horological Institute for a list of accredited watch makers/repairers in your area who will likely have trade contacts and be able to get one for you.

Look on ebay under tissot bracelet. Have a couple of bracelets for 18 mm Tissot but not sure it's the same one for 20 mm . The endlinks need to fit also.

Thanks for the advice. rogart63...I need 20mm lugs and i am trying to get at least a 1970's band to keep it close to orginal as possible but thank you for your reply.  If I am patient I believe i will get one. Let me know if you have any leads though. Thanks again.

Watchweasol. thanks for the advice. Do you think Tissot dealers and agents could help me with this watch band from the 1970's or just newer bands? i like the advice of the British Horological Society but I reside in the States. Do you think they could still help?

Hi  I the BHI  are out of touch  The AWCCI  American watch/clock collectors Institite might be able to help or the NAWCCI both reputable institutes in the states and I am sure will be able to supply the same information.

    • Yes! The terminal curve shape is key. I struggle not only with shape but also the angle it leaves the stud and the the height it leaves the stud. Since on the NH movements the spring is attached to the stud by friction fit and set by machine it can be off and hard to get right. I find moving the stud angle really affects the coil spacing.  I understand how to shape a terminal curve but when you install the spring and cock into the movement if gte spring is tilted up or down how do I get the spring flat?  The sling on the left is after shaping and I thought was good but it is way off and required more work. The one on the right is new.     
    • Welcome to the forum. We need to see photos but you're best searching eBay for prices.  
    • Yes you should just be able to unscrew it. What's the movement number and what part did you buy from Cousins?
    • Well I've never seen a Citizen movement like that before. Can you confirm the size of the movement.
    • Hi all, I'm currently working on my second Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000. While the movement is now 'under control', I have a new issue that I have not yet run in to so far. The stem of the Omega is a split stem, with male and female part. The female stem part (attached to the crown side) is broken. So I need to replace it, while of course keeping the original crown. When searching on google/Youtube I see a lot of examples where the threaded stem can be removed with the aid of a pin vice, just unscrew. But this stem looks different, see attached photo's.  No thread and I can't tell if it's one part or multiple parts. I already have an Omega replacement female stem from Cousins, but that one is threaded and much thinner in diameter. Does anyone have experience with this? Can I just unscrew the stem from the crown, or does it work differently?  Hope somebody can help!
