In the future one of the places you can go to get part numbers is the link below. You can enter the search term that I have below. http://cgi.julesborel.com/ SEK CS#7005-7100 Then a lot of times if you do a search for the part number just online you'll find references like eBay where it seems a bit pricey but does appear to be available shipping is a bit of a pain depending upon where you live in the world though because it looks like they're out of country sellers. Any other references I'm finding that this is a hard crystal to get. Then companies like cousins is 100% online. A lot of the US material houses are not 100% online. This means that you have to reach out to them and inquire as to whether they would have the crystal or could suggest a replacement. https://www.esslinger.com/watch-parts-inquiry/

That's the problem of not revising part numbers. So yes it's extremely concealable if someone put the slip ring back in and then shove their shiny new mainspring which now has its Attached bridal like it's supposed to have.

My favorite is my first mechanical watch. I received it as a present when I worked in Japan about 20 years ago (don't remember the exact year but it was between 2004 and 2006). It is a Seiko SAGN011 with the 4S27 movement and a titanium bracelet. I unfortunately dropped it in a way that made it stop working. I sent it to Seiko US for repair, they sent it to Japan without looking at it and the service and repair ended up costing $610 By the way one link in the bracelet is damaged and needs replacement and I have no idea how to find one. If any of you know how it can be done it will avoid another expensive repair, right now my wife has a trip to Japan planned for the fall and we are thinking about having it repaired then. It is exactly like this one https://wholesaleshop.ru/product/134848968779 -

Yeah I have the cheap one. But I think you are correct and they are reversible I hadn't tried turning them other but I see it in the picture (I am at work can't check the actual holders right now). I'll probably get better one at some point but right now there has been a lot of tools to buy to start so I am cheaping out on some things. I am quite happy that I did get a microscope because working with a loupe was just not working for me at all. next big stuff coming is ultrasonic machine, cleaning solution (99.9% IPA and Naphta) and lubricant (Moebius 8000 and Molikote DX for now).
