 Thought it be good idea to show good finds we might personally not be interested in. 

Heres fifty NOS mainspring for $ 14.

 Domestic shipping is almost free but International is the killer, good that its the same for up to a kilogram,  you save with multiple purchase to take advantgae of combined shipping.

Hope this post is in accordance with forum rules.

Have you dealt with them? I should be careful about sites and companies that you haven't had experience with. As you know there are so many cons on the net.  Google cant even translate that page. I wouldn't touch it with a barge poll . As far as I know you are with in the rules but I wouldn't take it further.

Hello OH, 

 The site is reputable, have bought  113 items from sellers there, two more on their way to me. Buyer has the return option but needs to explain what was wrong with the item.

They don't ship out of Iran, would have to be shipped to me so I get a chance to examine the item in buyers behalf.

  Will refrain to continue.

Please don't. Finding some watch parts is sometimes as difficult as finding working brain cells in government. Personally I'd take the risk if it meant getting the part I need. FWIW I have bought from every continent except Africa and Antarctica, although to be fair  I've haven't see any penguins running watch supply stores. Incidentally, the only issues I've ever had buying internationally were both from sellers in Italy and both refunded the sale when the packages didn't arrive. I think that says more about the Italian post than the credibility of vendors.

Hi eccentric,

 WRT site  forbids buy& sale in any form for financial gain, it does not forbid sharing links to good finds. 

I just suggest this idea , the decision to accept/ reject it  is not mine to make. 

 Finding a super earth must be easier than international shipping from my neck of the woods, anyway, but is business as usual globally.

Second this…and I’ve purchased everywhere too but have only been ripped off from the good old USA

    • I'll have a look for it, but don't hold your breathe. Failing that I'll make another video when another bezel needs to be removed.
    • The UK lots can be a 404 hit or miss, 6 - 10 watches can come in anywhere from 20 - 50 quid. I once had a 404 division of 8 watches for a fraction over 30 quid, one of them was a Smiths Astral model National 17 an absolute certainty for winner contender. The crystal was scrached up to the point of being very difficult to see the brand, something triggered a gut feeling in me and it paid off.
    • I just picked up this Mondaine quartz watch on tradera.com for £11. It's a non-runner so I will replace the Ronda movement (£10.95 at Cousins), polish the case, replace the case-back gasket, and replace the mineral crystal. Now, the problem is finding a suitable crystal. The original crystal is slightly domed (2.4mm thick dome), measures 36.4mm in diameter, and is 1.3mm thick at the edge. The closest I can get on CousinsUK is 36.5mm in diameter, 3.1mm thick dome, and 1.5mm thick at the edge. I think the replacement crystal would look OK, but the problem is finding a suitable glass gasket. The case diameter for the glass gasket is 36.9mm and the closest glass gasket I can find on CousinsUK is either 36.8x36.0mm or 37.0x36.2mm. I guess one of those glass gaskets could work but as you can see there's no way the 36.5mm domed crystal would fit the inner diameters of those glass gaskets. I guess I will have to give up on a domed crystal, no? So, the backup plan is to use a (1.5mm) thick flat mineral crystal as the diameters come in increments of 0.1mm. But, what glass gasket would be the better option? The one with an outer diameter of 36.8 (0.1mm too small) or the one with an outer diameter of 37.0mm (0.1mm too large). Again the case diameter for the glass gasket is 36.9mm. I believe I read or heard that the crystal diameter should be 0.1mm wider than the inner diameter of the glass gasket. Is that correct? I'm sorry for all the numbers. I've tried to make it as clear as I could. So, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. BTW, measuring and sourcing crystals and gaskets is extremely time-consuming! 😓
