Good evening,

I am in need of a new main spring or complete barrel for a 6R35, Pn 0201283.

Cousins did seem to have them at one point, but now discontinued, or not available to buy.

Am I missing something? This is the most obvious spare part for any watch, yet I cannot see anywhere that sells it.

I would also like to know if there are any recommended main spring winders for this movement also?

Thanks for your help.

As this is a fairly new movement Seiko appear to be holding the parts.

Best option maybe to look at measuring the old spring and trying to find a generic one.

Out of interest what's wrong with the old one?

I'm quite surprised that no-one appears to stock parts in the UK though.

Long story short, I damaged it beyond repair by attempting to use a spring winder not designed for this particular spring. It would have been better to install it by hand, but the spring has an awkward, reverse bridle making it tricky, to say the least.

Thank you both, anyway. I have a barrel assembly on the way.
