Hi all, is anyone else running into issues accessing the Jules Borel Interchange website lately? The last few days I have been unable to load the page regardless of the device, browser, or internet connection I'm using. I'm wondering if it's user error or something's up with their site.

Just got on, no problem,  Gather they have been moving to a new site so maybe they have been down for a few days during this undertaking.

I got really worried when the JBC Watch Parts Database wasn't responding the day before yesterday. To the best of my knowledge it is the best and the easiest (and perhaps only?) cross reference for watch parts on the planet. If you're not familiar with it and its use, click here.

"Mail from julesborel.com

Right now (Thursday & Friday) we are in the middle of a move.  Because of this our website

Is down.  We hope it will be back up and running soon.  The company will be back open on

Tuesday 9/7.

Found a way to override the system . Just write for example 6309-7040 Jules borel in the search window . Jules borel old pages comes up . Then it works as before. Still out there but it's harder to find.

Thanks for the hack! 😉 Not perfect, but a whole lot better than nothing!

Tried it but failed, until I realized "search window" = Google.

Visited the site just now but all we get is... 😟

I just sent an e-mail to Jules Borel asking them if and when they expect to be back up again. I'll report back if and when they reply.

If you write say 6M23 jules borel in the search window of google. First that came up in my google search is Jules borel. And parts for 6M23.  Write any Seiko number and i can prove it.

You misunderstood my post. Your method works fine as long as you search using Google. You never mentioned Google so I first thought you meant using the search feature on julesborel.com. Anyway, just got word from them. See below:

"We are planning on having the watch part data base up and running very soon.  Our
computer tech person is working on it as fast as he possible can.  Since our move he
has had a very extensive computer issue list to work on but the data base is part of
the list.  Because if this I cannot give you an approximate date.  Please keep checking 
back.

    • I'm a little confused here before servicing everything was fine and now it's not? Then I'm assuming if you run it without the chronograph modular runs just fine or does it give you problems then? Then as far as tightening goes I've occasionally seen people use a staking set and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. You can also disassemble and flip it over that sometimes works. Otherwise try eBay and maybe one will come up. There is a tiny possibility if the Problem is on the gear part and not on the center tube that you could purchase a shorter version and pop it on your longer version that's a speculation on my part that may be that might work but if the tube itself is worn then you're going to have a problem then it's back to eBay and just try to find one in the first place all sorts of things will show up on eBay sooner or later.    
    • Why do you need a whole balance assembly (balance complete)? Staffs are readily available and cheap.

    • Righty ho, I re-serviced the chrono module and got a reasonable result with minimal loss of amplitude when not running the chrono and about 30 degrees loss when running. Great. The problem is now that the chrono (and movement) stops running after about a minute or so, a tap on the watch starts it running again. No issues with the movement running when the chrono is stopped. Going to service it yet again, obviously some residual issues with friction in the chrono module (Very frustrating - I wish there was some way of testing it as I go!) I also seem to have a problem with the cannon pinion where the movement is running continuously (with the chrono stopped) but it's losing significant time / stopping. This is one of those two piece ETA style with a driving wheel pressed over the cannon pinion, obviously arranged for driving the chrono module. I had no issues with this prior to service and just added a small amount of grease between the driving wheel and the centre cannon pinion as the technical guide required. What's the best way of tightening these up? I would like to replace it but I guess this is going to be hard to find as it is dedicated to the DD chrono movement. 
    • He uses the micrometer cap, but he leaves the spring out (you can see that in the video). If you leave the spring in, the spindle will move up as well (as shown by @Knebo).
