Thanks and all the best

I was taken to the woodshed for posting a link in the forum, so I'm not sure how to get the information to you. There is a supplier in the USA who has a yellow one and a pink one. It is difficult to tell the color you need from the picture. The name of the supplier is Otto Frei and they are in Oakland, CA, USA. I hope this doesn't get redacted. This, in no way, is intended to be self promotion, advertising, etc. I'm only attempting to help a fellow watchmaker searching for parts. Good luck in your quest!

I don't think we are that hard in here? I have posted link before and never got an reprimand for that? 

Ofrei on the other hand is hard to post link from. The have some kind of filter or stop you from copying the pages. 

i do think cousinsuk have them also. Black letters on gold or silver. 

They aren't cheap . But which Omega part is that?

Well I've been publicly tarred and feathered on other forums but have found WRT members to be quite forgiving when it comes to failures of etiquette.

Looks like it's part 750-1516.

I was awarded one penalty point by a moderator for posting a link. I don't know how many you can accumulate before some dire punishment is meted out.

Regardless, I will continue to try to help this dying breed. We will all be combing eBay if Swatch is successful. There will be no need to post links because there will no longer be any parts suppliers.

Cheers!

It was me and I made a mistake. I have since emailed you apologising. 

It is a co-incidence that the owner of the website you posted has the SAME email domain you registered with here at WRT. That was not Otto Frei but another website I had never heard of, and it was not a stretch for me to put two and two together - albeit wrongly. I have since looked further at that domain and realised that it is one of an ISP with many shared customers and co-incidentally you and that website owner must use that same ISP.

 

 

To the OP - sorry for going off topic, we shall steer it back now [emoji4]

    • it would be nice to have the exact model of the watch the or a picture so we can see exactly what you're talking about. this is because the definition of Swiss watch could be a variety of things and it be helpful if we could see exactly the watch your dealing with then in professional watch repair at least some professionals they do pre-cleaned watches. In other words the hands and dial come off and the entire movement assembled goes through a cleaning machine sometimes I think a shorter bath perhaps so everything is nice and clean for disassembly makes it easier to look for problems. Then other professionals don't like pre-cleaning because it basically obliterates the scene of the crime. Especially when dealing with vintage watches where you're looking for metal filings and problems that may visually go away with cleaning. Then usually super sticky lubrication isn't really a problem for disassembly and typically shouldn't be a problem on a pallet fork bridge because there shouldn't be any lubrication on the bridge at all as you typically do not oil the pallet fork pivots.  
    • A few things you should find out before you can mske a decision of what to do. As Richard said, what is the crown and all of the crown components made of . Then also the stem .  The crown looks to have a steel washer that retains a gasket. So be careful with what chemicals you use to dissolve any stem adhesives or the use of heat. You might swell or melt the gasket unless you are prepared to change that also . The steel washer maybe reactive to alum. Something I've just used to dissolve a broken screw from a plate. First drilled out the centre of the screw with a 0.5mm carbide . Dipped only the section that held the broken screw in Rustins rust remover. This is 40 % phosphoric acid. 3 days and the screw remains were completely dissolved, no trace of steel in the brass threads. A black puddle left in the solution.
    • I suppose this will add to the confusion I have a roller jewel assortment. It lists out American pocket watches for Elgin 18 size and even 16 size it's a 50. But not all the various companies used 50-50 does seem to be common one company had a 51 and the smallest is 43. American parts are always interesting? Francis Elgin for mainsprings will tell you the thickness of the spring other companies will not even though the spring for the same number could come in a variety of thicknesses. But if we actually had the model number of your watch we would find it probably makes a reference that the roller jewel came in different dimensions. So overlook the parts book we find that? So it appears to be 18 and 16 size would be the same sort of the arson different catalog numbers and as I said we don't have your Mongol know which Log number were supposed to be using. Variety of materials garnered her sapphire single or double but zero mention about diameters. Then in a section of rollers in this case rollers with jewels we do get this down in the notes section Roller specifications but of course zero reference to the jewel size. I was really hoping the roller jewel assortment would give us sizes it doesn't really. But it does show a picture of how one particular roller jewel gauge is used
