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?

      What size is the movement and have you done the usual search with bestfit. To me it looks like something in the 10 series. The other option would be to measure the staff and try and trace it from their, or at least find an equivalent.

      1mm copper wire can be tapered to fit. Softer than brass but it does work.

      Looking to try servicing an old movement

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      You would think so.....but maybe not. I did just that with a 50's Oris tank. 5 years ago.....stripped and polished...it hasn't tarnished and looks exactly as it did..I wear it often. Looks like brushed gold plate.

      This poor watch now has a new escape wheel jewel. I got a jewel assortment and found one that fitted snugly in the setting, and whose hole was a neat fit on the escape wheel pivot, glued it to the flattened end of a 1mm drill bit and turned it on some brass with diamond lapping paste to give it a taper on one side. I used a sewing needle to gently close the setting over the jewel. It doesn't look too bad in the pic, but actually about the bottom third of the setting has nothing left holding the jewel down and I'm not sure whether it will hold. I'll have to see when I reassemble it. Before I reassemble, I thought I'd better have a look at the balance and check its poise. I put it on a pair of tweezers and found it did indeed want to always stop with the same point uppermost, swinging to and fro around that point. While I was thinking about timing washers and that I don't have the right tool to remove a timing screw, I noticed that one of the pivots didn't look straight. A closer look was called for: The right hand (upper) pivot is definitely bent. So, should I try to straighten it? It is likely to break, I suspect. Am I going to be able to buy a replacement balance staff for a watch more than 100 years old with no movement number? Seems unlikely. I have no lathe so I'm not in a position to make one myself. What are my options?

      Watch runs perfect for days, and suddenly stops.

      Here’s is an update on the watch. I haven’t worked on the watch since, but I seems like the watch is now running perfect if he don’t wind it fully up. If he just wind it almost fully up, it doesn’t seem to stop.. and it stops after some time if he wind it fully up.
