IWC SAV Calibre 74

[TibiV]

Hello again,

And here I think are some great people with great skills, thank you for all your responses, help me a lot.

Now another topic, I have in service a beautiful  IWC SAV calibre 74  after serial no. timed 1919 , a broken balance pin, do you have an idea where can I find this kind of spare parts? 

Somebody suggested scotchwatch.com - Who are they and from where ? and if you have some other ideas please help!

Thank you

Normally balance staffs can be found from material houses or balancestaffs.com although they show as sold out. The staff ref: is Ronda 1349

I have had no luck in finding the above and It is likely the only way forward is to have one made and fitted by a watchmaker.

Hello, 

Would be easier to find a balance complete instead of a balance staff?  

I found In Canada a balance staff can you help me to read it? 

Thank you

That staff photographed will only fit an FHF cal 74 - there is nothing in common with the IWC 74.

There is no secret place for parts, and not even any guarantee that you can find all parts, have a read to the topic below.

That being said the normal procedure for a balance staff that can't be found is to have a master watchmaker cut and fit it to the wheel.

As you can see "Ronda no: 1349", calibre "73" and "74". Good luck like finding one, having one made, or making one!
