Trying to find those brass watch movement retainer c clip thingies...

Hi guys,

I work mostly on vintage watches, and they often have those brass rings that clip into the sides of the case to keep the dial and movement locked in. The rings are sort of C clip shaped, circular to fit the full diameter of the case, but with an opening on each end with a small eye so you can get your tweezers in to release it. 

I have been trying to look for these rings online to build up a small inventory if I come across a watch that is missing one. The problem is that I don't exactly know what the name of this type of ring is, so I do not get the right search results. And if trying Cousins or Boley etc, I don't find anything. 

Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated!

Never seen one of those even though i work at vintage watches. Steampunk parts on ebay  for watches maybe? 

Is it for a specific watch.? 

I've seen these in quite a few watches of different brands, so this is not for a specific watch, no. 

Thanks for the tip, I'll check Steampunk out.
