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?

      Chinese clone demagnetizers

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Maybe you had a bad one H, the cheap blue one i use has been fine for nearly 3 years now. It demags enough to stop the tiniest of screws sticking to the carbon steel tweezers i use. If it were to fail at some point in the future i very  probably would go up a level of device just because.

      Unfortunately yes! Magnetism can wreak havoc on a mechanical watch movement if the balance hairspring becomes magnetised. The cheap blue Chinese demagnetise-rs are useless if you feed them the wrong voltage (> 110 V), and even so, they don't work very well. The one I got when I was new worked so poorly that it drove me nuts. Eventually, I was lucky to get a Greiner Magnomatic for a little money. It's an amazing tool that can be trusted to do its job perfectly in seconds. A new one comes with a price tag of  £885 excluding tax and shipping, and if you think that's a bit steep (I believe most of us would) and can't find a used one I'd go with @Jon's recommendation.

      You definitely pick up different names from different people of all ages from everywhere. Like learning different dialects of the same language. Its all part of the learning curve of any trade.  Both those two terms describe to me perfectly that they are one and the same. After a couple of years of knowledge you can figure out what is being talked about. There are times that i get caught out with something i haven't encountered before.
