Supplier of Dial Spacers for ETA 28XX movements?


Recommended Posts

My stock is running low, and the retailer I purchased my last batch is no longer trading, so now looking for another supplier.  These are what I'm after..

Looked on Counsinsuk and they are asking €8 euros EACH!! :angry: Crazy!

Looking at buying a batch of around 50 to 100, which should keep me going for the next few years. No way am I paying €800 euros for a batch of 100, my last batch, although only 65, those cost me €50 shopped, or thereabouts.

Anyone know where I can buy such quantities?

Sorry Micky, I would have though those were not much needed since they usually come with the movement...but then I haven't worked on those for a while.

I'll keep an eye out for them and if I find anything I'll let you know...ofrei for instance if they have it may not be a good option since their international shipping would be quite expensive...but it is always worth looking I guess.

Cheers,

Bob

    • 1973 Bulova Diamond Excellency Q. 11 AN mov't manual wind. Love the UFO look of this one. Not sure the size of the diamond but looking around for an advertisement to see if it is.listed....strap is not original but the buckle is signed along with the crown. In excellent condition. 
    • Just missed it! I have a donor movement on its way. But thank you for the offer--I'll let you know if I need anything else.
    • My latest. Timex 2465. Replaced the crystal, caseback gasket and spring bars. All in less than $5US. Added a gray NATO strap I already had in stock.
    • I have some Gruen 510's in my donor pile if you need parts.
    • I've been intrigued by everyone's input here...so I decided to give this a shot. I bought the"typical" Pearl watch-machine basket and trays, for about $65. The trays are good,..the housing is a nightmare ! Thought it would take the mixer off my bench at anything above about 200rpm. The housing is cast of course,..and it's not "true" at all...so the harmonic vibration was insane. So,..I bit the bullet and bought the Elma housing and top. Not the baskets though, as the Pearl one's fit the Elma. Saved a bunch there. The basket and lid came to about $80 with shipping. The opening in the Elma top is 8mm, and the shaft that came with my stirrer is 6mm. I bought a piece of steel tube, 8mm O.D., and 6mm I.D. Cut off about an inch of the tube, and drove the rod into it. Gives a really snug fit.... Lightly champfered the leading edge of the 8mm section, then lightly tapped it into the top of the Elma lid. Spins like a dream now So... I have about $240 total into this including jars and steel mesh for the wave breakers   I'm pretty happy Best to you all   Randy
