Replace broken balance staff

[buzz12]

I think I have the kit to do this but how do I go about finding the right size staff to replace the broken one?

Hi buzz,

How about movement number? Is it available?

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Bob, all I have is Cal 1213 Rendex Match Ltd. It's a Dominion Watch. Does that help any?

 

[bobm12]

Does it look like this?

If it does, it is a Ronda 1213...So knowing this you may be able to locate the staff from different suppliers...if it exists.

Geo mentioned a link in another post where you can order about any staff you need. Maybe he will post it here later. I don't remember it, though. In the meantime you can check CousinsUK and others.

Cheers,

Bob

Mark's video is great if you're looking for a very very good tutorial.

Thanks Frenchie, I have seen it... very useful. I fancied having a go but it looks like £20 for the staff, which sadly this watch is not worth the expense. I'll have to find a more worthy candidate me thinks.
