KIF Elastor 3-2


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone.  I am servicing a Bulova 11 ANACD movement, and ran into the dreaded KIF Elastor 3-2 spring.  I am fairly new to watch servicing (I have only done one before; an ETA 1256), and decided I would take the spring off for oiling.  I am sure you can guess what happened next.  The spring sprung, and now I am here hoping someone has a source for them they can share.  I am located in the USA.  Pictured is the pretty dirty movement, before taking the spring out.  Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the quick reply!  I have looked on their websites, and must not know the exact item number, because I am coming up empty.  I use esslinger a good bit, so I may just give them a call.  If anyone knows if there's a model number other than KIF Elastor 3-2, I would appreciate it!

Unbelievably, I found the spring in the carpet with a very strong magnet.  I saw a technique using cling wrap, so I will give that a shot in hopes I don't lose the spring!  Thanks!
