EvergreenParts supplier...interesting


Recommended Posts

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?

    • I've also heard it called the "top side" and the dial side the "bottom side", which should make any non-repairer very confused. There are many examples and sometimes it comes down to personal preference. Personally, I like to say "dial train" whereas most other people would use the term "motion works".
    • Is magnetism such a major problem that we (as home hobbyists) need to spend $$$ on a fancy demagnetiser? I use one of the cheap blue Chinese demagnetisers (£10 from ebay). It works, and has never failed to demagnetise a movement, or my screwdrivers. Magnetometer - who needs one?  Take a very small screw. If it sticks to the clean part, it is magnetised 🤣
    • My overall preference is to use traditional names and terms, that became my habit when i was taught joinery by old boy chippies 2 generations older than me , that had their time in the 40's. But what i often do is adjust the names and terms i use according to who I'm talking with. Sometimes i will say trainside and occasionally watchmaker's side. I try to find a balance between accommodating other folk ( there's no point speaking a foreign language to someone who doesn't understand it ) and using a name that appears to me to be more relevant as to its use or description. But using the name lever can be quite confusing,  some watches might have parts that are also levers, release levers, which in effect is what the pallet fork is, an escapement release lever. 
    • Then put the case number in here https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/filter/search-seiko-case-parts and it should give you the crown 
    • I come across to replace the crystal of a 7734 chronograph.  What make it special there a printed chapter ring  which fits inside the recess of crystal before inserting into the case. I am thinking of a high dome crystal such as Sternkreuz ATCH, fitting diameter OD332/ID320.  For this purpose, tension ring will be removed and fit in the chapter ring.  I understand the crystal size may not perfectly fit these two dimension.  Should aim to find the right ID, then OD can be grinded to reduce without much difficulty.  To find the right crystal, the easiest way is to get know of the OD/ID relationship of Sternkreuz ATCH/ATCG (otherwise the OD of the crystal and tension ring).  I hope you are able to help to minimize the trial and errors.
