Sourcing Jewels

[EdB]

Hello everyone!

I am currently at a loss for a place to source jewels for a main plate I am currently working on. I've removed the jewel intact and was able to acquire the correct measurements using a JKA Feintaster micrometer. 

Outside diameter is 0.99 so jewel size would be 1.00 mm

Inside diameter is 0.12 mm (actual) so a 0.14 mm jewel is required. I measured the pivot associated with this measurement. 

I've tried the following: Cousins UK, Jules Borel, Otto Frei, Daves watch parts, Esslinger, and Twin City Supply.

 

Any sources would be appreciated. 

 

As always thanks in advance.

when replacing jewels it's nice to have a reference book like the link below. Then even look at the reference book and see what standard jewels are available so I've attached an image of a chart. You've indicated it's a plate jewel 14 x 100 or I guess technically to be 0.14 x 1.00 which I circled it's a standard plate jewel of a standard size.

okay so cousins have lots of jewels but of course as you may have found out we have a problem it's no longer available it's been discontinued. As watch repair moves more for well basically no parts being available parts will slowly disappear so your size has been discontinued but if you're willing to open the hole up a little bit you can have a 14 x 1 50. then of course the other thing to do is if you look in the book there's a way of closing a a hole although I don't know if you could drop it from 1 to 90 because that's available also

so if you're buying from cousins you would have to open up your hole to accommodate the bigger jewel or continue searching online and may be fine the link below. then I snipped out an image on the page below I believe that's what you're looking for plus you'll notice they have other sizes to and there on sale.
