Miyota 8215

[Redwood]

Looking for dial feet screws for the above movement as they didn’t come with the movement or supplied with the dial. Nobody seems to stock them although they do have a part number. I can buy a box of  a hundred generic screws  but will probably never use 98 of them so any idea where on earth I can get them

First of all, "dial feet screws" aren't really screws, but eccentrics permanently attached to the plate by riveting. Getting 3 out of a box of100 would be actually a good result, but you can buy 1,000 generic screws and none will do. 

That being said, with Miyota more than other makers, parts are simply unavailable. Either work-out a ingenious solution, or buy a new mov.t.

BTW, we have a sections here used to introduce oneself even before asking questions.

In a Citizen i think they have a plastic dial spacer where the dial feet sits into. Are there holes for screw?

Are these the dial feet screws you are referring too. These graded screws are available from Cousins .

How many screws do you need? Have some scrap 8200 and 8215 movements.

I stand corrected, not knowing the specific of this mov.t.

Dial screws appears to be of the most common type.

Thank you for the kind offer but 2 screws are on thier way from the supplier of the movement. They are the 123 type 0.6 mm.

Hi Rogart, I hope you'll see this! I am in dire need of dial feet screws for the 8215, do you still have some? I am building a watch for my friend and I lost one...
