Sea-Gull St19 Broken Pivot

[jaycey]

Gents, 

 

Clumsy mistake, rotating the movement in the holder with the extended 4th wheel pivot sticking out the bottom...Ping!

 

So I am after a replacement 4th wheel for the Sea-Gull ST19 (Venus 175 copy)

 

As these Chinese parts are impossible to source, would I be able to use a Venus part does anyone know?

Have you tried contacting the company directly?  I emailed them some months ago about one of their watches and they sent me a booklet about it in the mail.  The customer service people were very friendly.  Here's the web address of their US store front and service division:

Do you have a watchmaker's lathe?

Thanks for the replies, I will contact them but I haven't heard anyone who have obtained parts for a Chinese movement :(

I do have a lathe but nowhere near the skill needed to turn a post.

Sent from my iBend 6

I could try to turn one for you.  You'd have to send me the wheel and the post so I could copy the latter and make sure it fits into the wheel.  It might take some time though.  I'm currently in watchmaking school and have been turning staffs of various types.  As i said, I might be able to get a good one, especially with my instructor helping me.  Let me know.

Many thanks for the kind offer. I am still pursuing the buying option, but if that comes up with nothing then I will contact you.

 

Many thanks!
