SOS TY2723 watch movement spare parts (blue rotor screw)

[Tiny]

hello all

well the screw went ping and it vanished so now I'm left with a missing screw. 

with out a spare supplier (cousins) also not having access to a parts list or drawing how do I track down the screw needed for this watch (fossil) I would like minimal of two replacement screws.

I wonder if cousins would have them as they do carry the movement ??

It's not that is 'went' as that was a naturl occurence. Stop for a moment and consider what was the mistake that made that happen, e.g. work not at armpit height, or not supporting the mov.t holder, or screwdriver not dressed properly.

Check their Chinese mov.t page:

Chinese manufacturers do not make spare parts available for their movements, apart from stems.

Also unavailabke are drawings, that not a big deal if one knows how a watch works and take pictures.

That being said you may get a working screw buying an assortment or a lot of scrap watches.

Jdm Thank you 

I had the screw in my tweezers but needed to turn it over so I twisted my tweezers over and ping it disappeared I think next time I will place it on some radico  and then turn it over and adjust my tweezers.

 

This was my own fault thought I was a two minute job and I wasn't really paying attention o'well lesson learnt
