I am trying to source a mainspring for a Unitas 431 445.  It seems to be discontinued 

If you search on Cousin's "Download Documents" for "GR mainsprings" you can down load the whole GR database.

Here's the part you need for Unitas (pages 182-187)

Look for the closest spring they have. Try to match the thickness first (0.21), then width (1.90). The length isn't as important. A shorter spring will just give less running time.

Emmywatch also seems to be a decent source. It lists 3 different mainspring dimensions with 2 different GR numbers for the Unitas 431. Also a parts list and a few other pieces of data. So it looks like you might need to measure the barrel as well.

    • Hi, I'm Ciaran from Manchester. I've have been teaching myself watch repair since January. Funnily enough it started with me replacing straps when I was laid up with a knee injury. It grew from there after coming across the YouTube channels Watch Repair Tutorials, Chronoglide, and that of this forum's owner.  My first proper repair job was disassembling and reassembling an ETA 955.112 (with the help of a video by Mark and a walkthrough from this forum.  Since then I've completed a few services of ST36s, as well as a truly battered AS 340 which had more things wrong with it than it did right.  I'm currently working on a pocket watch from WW2 - which I'll be attempting to fit a new balance staff to. As well as a Tissot 781-1.  For those of you on Instagram I'm there also: https://www.instagram.com/ciaranwatchrepair?igsh=MWZ3bHNmdDUzdGhqbQ== Happy to have found another place to talk watch repair   
    • Hairsprings are repairable to an extent. To obtain a reliable answer it needs to be viewed. I have a feeling replacement parts for these clone movements are difficult to obtain. 
    • Is that not be down to your age ?
    • Well, it did keep me from sailing in the Titanic. 😉
