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.

      Chinese clone demagnetizers

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I'm guessing, but this commercial demag machine maybe produces random magnetic fields to re-randomise  the iron particles. So heres one for you, synthetic rubies are coloured predominantly with chromium oxide . But natural rubies and old synthetic watch rubies were also coloured with iron oxide in higher percentages than chromium oxide. Which gave them a degree of.................🤔

      I've never had a hairspring distort on me by passing the movement or just the balance in a plastic pot over this demagnetiser. Have you seen how fast a cleaning machine spins to spin-off fluid and that does no harm to a hairspring. I was a little concerned when I first used it, thinking it might be too strong, but I was wrong. It is strong, but it does no damage. I pass the part over the demagnetiser and keep going for about an arms length, so about a metre, to properly demag the part.

      I don't think you would be able to find spare parts. Your best bet would be to get a new movement from eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256508500506?itmmeta=01HY3M863PSA61GK7B859QCWTE&hash=item3bb9191a1a:g:ubgAAOSwrJJgPP-s&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4DxWhpiQiz2ZjKpm3PS%2FHPh4IafsSzMWEobc2q4qQWgPGMZ8kCR8y2PRsm7GE31FjeSDYSWcEyGlrpZEdQyyzOSgsgsaPjbP7dYmK8r49Nh%2BEtSqDDIZ8Tbp3vvX035fFXgcjc1GEH8l%2FOWJ9aTeWNGzeBgUwqyhJ3ZSXji50TQr6rd38Sqwaqsj2oc51UVKqqIKySKTfxVB7X09EXcJsmeYc5GCdVODNkb02q2RsxfSIzpgl9dFCmW1Ih%2BPg2j2NziSELg5AfaHl%2FPU2Zn9fNnoVN1Z1NUAREyh2BCubcWC|tkp%3ABk9SR_bhoPTwYw

      Vertex Dirty Dozen crystal

      Here's a thought. Try unscrewing the bezel and the crystal. If you have one of those sticky balls for undoing casebacks, I would give that a try.

      Citizen Eco-Drive E870 movement issues

      By ManSkirtBrew · Posted

      Last week I noticed my Eco-drive's second hand was stopped at 12 o'clock. I left it in the sun for a few days and no change, so I figured it was time to replace the rechargeable battery. I've had this guy for at least 15 years. Replaced the battery and the seconds hand moved to about 5 o'clock and stopped there. I let it sit for a day in the sun, no change. I took the battery out and tested it, and it's at 1.4v. The old one was at 1.0v. I'd like to test if it's charging. I've been looking around for diagnostic info, but only been able to find the owner's manual. Anyone have a reference for it?
