These guys popped up in my FB feed.  It appears that they sell Rolex, Omega, and other erstwhile restricted parts to anyone.  Maybe I am wrong, or confused. 

I am sure somebody can shed some light on this for me.

Oh, these are generic parts, but somewhere else on the site, it appears that they are manufacturing the part or jobbing it out.

Always interesting the wording on some of these sites. For instance I found a website from a company in Geneva or so they claimed although when I Google the address that would put them in the middle of the Plaza? Then they were selling Rolex watches that they cloned and their very proud that they look exactly the same as a real Rolex watch. Although this companies a little bit better googling the address Google agrees that there is a watch supply business there that's impressive

Basically my interpretation of the wording would be there selling parts that are made for specific watches. They're obviously not selling original parts because they can't get original parts. Then yes the parts probably are made in Switzerland especially now that they have some really nifty CNC machinery for making parts that can be changed the tooling within an hour I can get you a video fear curious

CNC technology is at the point where virtually any watch part can be made and pretty cheaply I would think.  The name "EverGreen" is a clue in that their business model is to provide parts for watches where the manufacturer has long since quit making.

I wish I knew of a CNC foundry that would make anything I would design.  There are 3D printing foundries that do this for 'plastic.'  I design the part with my CAD software, send the file and get a part in the mail!!  These may exist...I do not know.

Perhaps if you find the answer to a question that I have you may get the answer to your question. I was watching a video on something I would like to have but I'm sure it's out of my price range. Then I was reasonably sure they would never export these out of the country but I was wrong. We know this is wrong because the first video look what he's getting and they're putting it in the warehouse. I really don't know many YouTube channel that acquires CNC machines like this there must be a purpose for their existence and maybe they will let you send in files and make stuff for you?

I have tried to register as a private customer (non-business) so I'll let you know how it goes. They also sell on eBay: http://stores.ebay.de/evergreenparts

The business address is in Germany, parts made in Switzerland, according to the website.

There are facilities springing up in Germany like Makerspace in Munich which allow anyone to book time on a range of machines including cnc. They are usually associated with a technical university. Maybe there is something similar nearby.

I was able to register as a private customer without a company i.d. so they will sell retail direct via the website. The big advantage in opening an account versus using the eBay shop are the prices. Purchasing direct is significantly cheaper than via eBay.

Can you give an example of pricing?

      Thanks for your most appreciated assessment with this. I will purchase a new movement.

      Sorry I am confused by step 4. Which screw? There is the balance cock screw. I don’t think that is what you are talking about. The only other screw I see is on the side of the swan neck regulator. I do t think that is the one you are talking about either Well I managed to make it worse again but I could take pictures.  I had put the balance cock partially in place with one locator pin in. I wanted to remove it and I know I should use my screwdriver in the slot to move it off the pin but I didn’t l pulled wit my tweezers and it stuck then gave suddenly and was thrown a few inches away and of course the hairspring got tangled (a coil was above the cock) and untangling it from the cock deformed it.    I am going to try to put it back in shape and I will likely post more pictures after shortly. I’ll wait for feedback before reattaching it to the cock I am sorry I think I’ll give up. I was trying to remove the tangle. I had previously succeeded but now I just made more of a mess with this new tangle.  Lf you see my spring it is now just a knot.

      OK, bad video... Almost all of them are. To attach the spring (stud) to the cock: 1. Put the cock on the table top upside down.  Open the regulator if closed. 2. Put the balance on , align the stud above the hole for it in the stud carrier. 3. Help the stud to get in the hole by gentle pressing. 4. When it is in, grasp the cock with balance with tweezers (from aside, not from above), then get it between fingers, not changing the horizontal position, then tighten slightly the screw. This is the moment to correct the high position of the stud - it's top must be even with the carrier. Now tighten the screw. 5. If the outer coil is out of the regulator, move the regulator to the max to '+' position, then guide the spring to get in the regulator. Now You can return the regulator where it was and close it above the spring

      Newly interested in watch servicing & repair.  Just ordered a few basic tools and a cheap Seagull movement to practice on.  I hope this turns out to be a rewarding hobby (intellectually, not financially.  Really not expecting financially 🙂).  Just wanted to say hi and no doubt I'll be back for advice.
