advice needed for where to find watch part please

[Danh]

Hi All

I have a Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Reveil (similar pictured) and need a replacement escape wheel (which i understand is an obsolete part)

I am told the model is 22197 with a cal AS 5008 (5611)

Would anyone on here have any ideas where I might source the part, the watch is lovely and I would hate it to be the end of its journey through life. (the movement has an integral alarm which may make replacing the whole movement difficult also)

Thank you for your time 

Dan

The best thing to do is contact as many material dealers as possible.

Here is a good start: http://www.watchrepairtalk.com/links/watch-clock-repair-suppliers/

The Part number is 705 and the base calibre is 5001.

 

I could not find one at Cousins or on Ebay. You could try May at Northern Watch & Clock Supplies - she often has long obsolete parts. https://www.linkedin.com/in/may-moorhead-69887b38

if it is the AS 5008 (as it appears to be from my own research) I think these guys may have one, but I can purchase from them http://www.boley.de/en/caliber/watch-movements/as/397?search_caliber=5008 

Interesting PDF on the site which appears to list the part number as 705, where as the boley part number appears to be different 

The hunt continues

Thanks Mark, most appreciated for your time, I almost sent this watch to you when i got it, but you were not taking anything else in at the time.

you were my preferred repair guy for this project after I have been following your work and videos

No luck at obsolete watch and clock, so the hunt continues

Have you tried Gleaves in London, they are normally very helpful and often have older parts that are obsolete.

Give Grayham a ring and ask him
