Hope everyone is doing well. I have this Jules Jurgensen watch and is missing the winding stem. The movement is an INT 2160. I am trying to find the Best Fit Stem number. Can anyone of you please let me know if you have information you can share? I have added some pictures.

In advance, thank you much.

Hi clockboy, I haven't been able to find the W3278 stem. I have only tried EBay. I will try Esslinger and Jules Borel.

I have a few bestfit winding stems but I don't know which one would fit. I am trying to find the bestfit number. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you for the info clockboy.

It is actually a Durowe 7522. It is written on the movement. I am in Los Angeles USA. I checked Esslinger and Jules Borel. I did not find any. I will double check on eBay just in case.

Thank you for your help.

How times have changed. If I couldn't find it in one of my I D catalogues I used to post the movement less the balance to Southern Watch & Clocks Suppliers. How nice the Internet is to help people out.

Marc, I think you nailed it. Jules Borel shows that the stem for a Durowe 451/2 is a bestfit 200/362F. I checked the bestfit book and the 200/362F only references Frey -D-F. I am ordering it right now. It is only $3.95. Not much to lose.

Thank you for the help. Hope you all had a good Sunday back in the old world. It is only 6:55am as I write this.

Talk soon.

      What is this tool !

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I was pleased to pick up a selection of some tools on ebay (v cheap 🤣), and they've just arrived,  I've been looking for a crystal press for a while, and this one is ideal But in the selection is this thing - what is it for?  (it's about 3" long) Something to do with stem tubes?

      You'll have to strip it back anyway.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      I think I've heard that more than from just Alex. That doesn't make it right though, but I'm convinced i saw some literature diagram explaining why to do that. There must be good info here in the archives, I'll have to have a dig around.

      That will mean dismantling the gear train, which with 5 pivots to align was a pain. Probably going to have to though. I'm convinced it's something to do with the great wheel.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      As far as I know, the only time an epilame treatment has potential drawbacks is when something is rubbing on the treated part w/o lubrication in between creating abrasive dust. That is, I don't believe in the method of "running the watch to make a groove through it first in the pallet stones where the lubrication is then placed". So, I think the rule would be; do not epilame treat parts where rubbing is going on without lubrication. Other than that I don't think we have anything to worry about. That said, I'm not an expert, and I'm always happy to learn more. Has any other repairer than Alex suggested or explained the "making-a-groove" method? My impression is that it's just something he constructed in his mind. I have not perceived it as a generally practiced method. Again, I could be wrong!
