Looking for movement holder/spacer for Wenger Swiss Military Watch

I recently purchased this Wenger Swiss Military Watch 9701X at a garage sale.  When I opened it to change the battery, I found that the plastic movement holder/spacer was missing.  In fact, someone had stuffed a gum wrapper around the movement!  I've looked online for this part but the closest I can find is to buy a whole bag of spacers for more than I spent on the watch.

The movement says RONDA and the only other text is SWISS R9.  It appears to be 11.5 lignes, as it measures 25.6mm.  The inside of the case measures 37mm.

I'm wondering if anyone has one of these spacers they would like to sell or if you can direct me to a site where I can find one.  The watch keeps good time and looks great but I think it would benefit from having the spacer.  Thanks!

Hi  Trying to purchase one of theses singly would be difficult other than buying an assortment but there is the cost implication involved.  You could try mailing Wenger as they are the ones who bought in the movement and cased it up may be they can help.  on the black plastic mount there will be a number embossed in like  1034 or 505   507 or the like this is the caliber number of the movement if you can find that and post it then perhaps some kind soul will be able to find one for you.   cheers

      Kalle Slaap said he is visiting London this week in order to see the exhibition. I was keeping an eye open, hoping to meet him.

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
