Movement Specific Plastic Storage Containers Source?

[SSTEEL]

You know the two part plastic cases new movements come in, does anyone know a source than sells these?  I have googled to death, and surprisingly found nothing.

This may be your lucky day.

 

I don't need to tell you the days I spent searching to find what you want.

 

They're slightly bigger than some I had from China but as I couldn't find that supplier, when I came up with these decided to buy them.

 

I really wanted to store pocket watch movements so they may be too big for you 51 mm Dia inside and overall 21 mm high with the top on.

 

Not stiff hard plastic and the top pushes on a bit like kitchen storage boxes.

 

111792238212 Search this no. on eBay and it will bring up the item. Sorry I don't know how to make it a link.

 

£3.99 + £0.95 postage for a pack of nine. I did ask for a price for 50 but he said " sorry they come in packs of 9 and we don't split them " ( Strange )

Thanks guys, appreciate the help, the ones I am wanting are those that come from the manufacturers with the stem cut outs, and for chronograph movements, just outs for the pushers as well as the stem.  I will check the links your provided though just in case they will suffice.

Ok, checked those suggested and not quite what I need.

 

These are what I'm looking for for 7750 movements..

Silly question as I'm sure you've explored all avenues but have you contacted the movement suppliers direct ?

 

As you wish to protect and store their movements they may be kind enough to supply a batch to you or even give you the manufacturer name.

 

Yours is a very specific requirement so I'm sure you will have to find the original manufacturer , probably in China, they won't advertise them for sale on the internet.

[SSTEEL]

Will do that.

Hi,

      I would appreciate it if you could let me /us know if you find a solution to your problem of containers.

 I too can not yet find a supplier of these containers.

 I find them very useful.

 Many thanks

I used to contact my old suppler and ask them if they had any lying around and for a small price they always managed to come up trumps.
