Hello All,

I am looking for the following screws in gold colour,

Dimensions in millimetres
Head diameter
0.83 - 0.84
Thread Size
0.47 - 0.48
Length
1.57 - 1.58

I’m thinking of these ones Diagram 101 and 127

cousinsuk.com/product/bridge-screws-wristwatch-graded#

cousinsuk.com/product/balance-screws-wristwatch-graded

But I can’t find their thread and length other than reference to ‘diagram’

I would appreciate if someone advise/point me finding/buying them.

Thanks

Movement 

ETA 201.001

 

Calibre

9.9mm

 

SCREW, CELL CLAMP # 

X/12142 (54400/201.001) 

 

I found these two suppliers so far,

 

http://www.julesborel.com/checkout-2-05-0/cart.ssp?sc=3#cart

 

https://hovigs.com/products/battery-clamp-screw-x-12142

 

The estimate total cost for 5pcs is ~ €70 including shipping import tax EU

 

I would rather buy within Europe to cut shipping/tax expenses. Cousinsuk indicates it’s discontinued.

The part you've shown is a Ronda 726 screw. If you've searched 54400 then that's just the generic part no. for battery clamp screws.

The 51.600.01 is used across multiple ETA movements. (example 210.001)

I have checked part numbers in ‘Swiss part description’. Am I right assuming they are interchangeable to the subject one - same dimensions and colour?

If that’s so, than I found better price for ~£2.

Thank you Andy for the wise observation. I learn now that the movement/calibre ought match part number.

As mentioned earlier, sometimes the calibre can be different as a lot of parts are
used across them but the key part is the manufacturer which in your case is ETA.

Thank you Tom for the confirmation. I will go for 3 pack. Thank you Andy for the wise observation. I learn now that the movement/calibre ought match part number.

Hello Samy i hope everything is well on your end. I too am looking for the same exact screw that I saw you posted about me too for a chopard watch. Could you please let me know if you were succesful in finding one where you ordered it from and how fast the delivery was. Any advice or help in this matter is welcome. Thank you so much for your help

Hello @Tahagg

The identical screw is: SKU X/12142, 0 54400 / 201.001

I bought similar ones from cousins.uk: ETA21000154400, ETA 210.001 54400 as kindly suggested by @AndyGSi, but notice they are silver colour not yellow/golden, other than that I think they should fit, but I didn’t try. The delivery in EU is within 10 days.

I bought the identical screws - yellow/golden from US, hovigs.com *****@*****.tld. They’re are very nice to deal with.

    • Righty ho, I re-serviced the chrono module and got a reasonable result with minimal loss of amplitude when not running the chrono and about 30 degrees loss when running. Great. The problem is now that the chrono (and movement) stops running after about a minute or so, a tap on the watch starts it running again. No issues with the movement running when the chrono is stopped. Going to service it yet again, obviously some residual issues with friction in the chrono module (Very frustrating - I wish there was some way of testing it as I go!) I also seem to have a problem with the cannon pinion where the movement is running continuously (with the chrono stopped) but it's losing significant time / stopping. This is one of those two piece ETA style with a driving wheel pressed over the cannon pinion, obviously arranged for driving the chrono module. I had no issues with this prior to service and just added a small amount of grease between the driving wheel and the centre cannon pinion as the technical guide required. What's the best way of tightening these up? I would like to replace it but I guess this is going to be hard to find as it is dedicated to the DD chrono movement. 
    • He uses the micrometer cap, but he leaves the spring out (you can see that in the video). If you leave the spring in, the spindle will move up as well (as shown by @Knebo).
    • Seems like he doesn't have the micrometer cap  attached to the spindle so he can only push down but cannot pull up? If the cap screws into the spindle I guess you don't need the spring? I only have a "normal" Seitz so I really have no idea. 
    • Do you have a part number for the bearing shim lock tool?
    • Yes in my opinion the 3/4HP is plenty but it’s your decision & yes it does come with speed control but foot operation so my reason for changing to potentiometer was because my leg shakes so it was like me revving the lathe & anyway I prefer to set the speed. I & a few others that I recommended the motor to run a Pultra 10mm lathe so if you have a 6 or 8mm B & L then it will be plenty, if you have seen any of my videos you will have seen that when using a graver I run quite slow without any problems.
