Nomos 5500

[watchfellow]

Here is a longshot. I took in a Glashutte with a C5500 movement for cleaning, before realizing that it needs a new date disk. Anyone know anywhere to purchase this part, or any parts for Nomos? The usual suspects (Cousins, Ofrei, etc.) don't seem to carry parts for them. I realize this is a shot in the dark, but I thought I would ask anyway. Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you tried contacting Nomos to see if they are willing to sell you the date wheel? Archer from watchuseek/omegaforums, a respected independent watchmaker has managed to obtain spare parts from them, even recently.

Not sure what a Nomos C5500 is, but they are pretty good about making parts available to independent watchmakers and their in-house service and repair is in my experience reasonable too. If your watchmaker is cleaning the movement, he should be able to order and replace the date disc at the same time.

The OP is the watchmaker. Smart decision by an independent maker to supply (at least) professionals.

Thanks for pointing that out! I read the post four times, and still didn't pick up on it. Distracted trying to identify the movement. Advice still stands.

Thats great information guys, thank you. I will try to contact Nomos directly and report back. That would be absolutely amazing if they would be willing to sell parts directly.

Here is a shot of the movement if anyone is curious.

I think it's a Nomos Epsilon. The 5500 appears to be a production serial number.
