Jim, when I started tinkering with watches I chose 16S Walthams to work on - lovely watches.

I found the best place to get parts was the USA. If you look on the NAWCC forum, they have a list of parts suppliers :

I found Bob McKnight particularly useful for Waltham parts, also 'Dave's Watch Parts'.

For so many parts,  a cheap donor movement might be the best option.

Good luck

Yikes!

Those parts must be getting scarce.  There is a person on here who was worked out a way to grind alter jewels to fit a specific purpose, check this out -

An I suppose the arbor could be machined, but that would be waaaay beyond my capability :-)
