I have been looking for genuine Rolex parts but can only find them on the Bay from the USA. Has anyone a link to a supplier in the UK. I am actually looking for a 3135 mainspring BUT a genuine Rolex one. I fitted a generic one last year & it has been running for year now but now it occasionally it stops. The difference between a Generic spring & a Genuine spring is the length & possibly the strength. Although it is an average + 2 secs a day it is out of beat by 1.3 ms.

I have read fitting a generic spring could cause this issue so I want to fit a genuine spring hoping it works.

Sorry CB, it seems that the Swiss policymakers-on-watches are closing their export shops! No a very good outlook for the near future...hopefully they'll rethink their policy. I still hope at this point you can get what you are looking for. I'll keep my eyes open and report back.

 

Cheers,

Thanks Ssteel but I don,t think it fits. Also the barrel is the wrong colour (should be bronze) so a bit suspicious. There are complete barrels with spring installed & the seller states that they are genuine Rolex but again how do I know they are really genuine springs installed. So hoping to find a Genuine Rolex mainspring for a 3135 that is in a Rolex packet.If am going to spend £100 on a spring I must be sure it is genuine.

Hi CB, they are a little slow at posting out, so expect just over a week to get you part. Also they don't provide tracking number unless you actually request it. Its difficult to communicate with them as they don't speak English at all. But they are a reputable company and I personally have not had any problems with them

Ok no rush just pleased the parts have been sourced.

      Welcome, Simeon! I'm into Soviet watches too (not the political system, and yes, I am able to make the distinction, unlike some). They offer amazing value for money. I like your "Big Zero" profile image. It's a true classic and I have one of those myself. I noticed that the hands aren't the original. Not that it matters a lot but here's an interesting article about the Big Zero if you haven't already seen it.

      Need some crystal replacement advice

      I was thinking will the gasket stretch at all to match the desired size.  Did i also deduce that the original gasket is thinner (0 .5mm ) than the cousins gasket ( 0.8mm )  could that just be an effect of you measuring the case for the gasket size  H  ?

      Chinese clone demagnetizers

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      if we look at and understand why steel becomes magnetised and unmagnetised then its possible to work out why some devices are better than others. Simpy it is a parallel alignment of atoms , electrons within a material caused by external magnetic fields. Different magnetic fields cause different alignments and non alignment of atoms. Fields by AC currents are changing atom direction approx 50 times per second ( 50hz ). As a material is drawn away from a demagging device the field is becoming progressively weaker while also changing the material's atom direction having the effect of returning their random directions ( demagnetising ) . To improve on this demagetising effect, try changing the material's orientation as it is drawn away.  Fields caused by DC currents have the most permanent magnetising effect as the currect is flowing one way only. A good demagger would produce random magnet fields and disorientation of the material's atoms.
