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.

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.

Just write for example 6309-7040 Jules borel in the search window

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.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yes i did eventually realise that the oil will act as a barrier, I'm sure the discussion will continue. Ive had two oleophobic coffees ( added coconut ) and in the meantime i have this just delivered to take my mind off epilame for the time being. My favourite type of dial, its a beautiful looking watch traditional English made and it runs,  the ticktock is phenomenal,  i can hear it across my living room .  You wont believe how much it was. Thats interesting about synthetic oils , i thought the same, going from a 2 year service to 5 years is a big drop in income for service folk.  I expect some did well when they embraced the use of synthetic,  probably drawing in more customers than those that didn't use the new fangled substances , i bet fairly short lived though. The more frequent service makes more sense to me, not for just the service but for the regular check up inspections that might pick up impending faults. As far as epilame goes, wouldn't it be great to be able to fumigate the complete movement in a sealed jar of heated stearic acid, 🤔 now theres a thought 😅.

      AS2031-57E solar panel - mission: impossible

      By Albyon · Posted

      Imm going to close the discussion by attaching the photo of my super-titanium after several vicissitudes finally working. Purchased as not working I replaced the battery and for a stroke of luck I found its semi-new solar panel which, having verified its operation, seems to recharge the accumulator perfectly. I had taken this watch almost by bet, with 40 euros I brought it back to life. The initial half idea was to resell it to finance another purchase, but.. it's definitely a nice item. It would need to check the impermeability but it's a pleasure to see it on the wrist 😃

      Insert the movement inside the case

      By Albyon · Posted

      In fact the secret is to go gently and find the way without forcing, and the movement enters without problems

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Sure! Some very accomplished repairers never use epilame! I have often wondered if it is worth the trouble. Not using epilame will shorten the service intervals though, but that could be better perhaps both for the owner and the repairer!? Speaking of oiling, I just read this: After WWII in the 1950s the first Synthetic Oils came on the market. Most watchmakers did not rush to use these oils since they were bad for business now that the watch serviced with Synthetic oil would not come back to him for service for another 5-7 years he would lose a lot of income. ~Ofrei.com   Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if it would be more correct to think of epilame as a binder rather than a repellant. Until convinced otherwise that's how I will think of epilame.
