1680 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hello, this Saturday my Datejust unfortunately stopped. I checked the movement and found out that the jewel next to the ballance staff is lost... It is a ETA2836, in my ETA documents I didn't find a seperate ballance staff just the complete ballance, however on cousinsuk site I find a piece named ballance roller. Is that the spare part I need? Or what would be the easiest fix? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just to be sure can you show a picture of the jewel you mean i may have a spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hi, not my ballance, but exactly this jewel is missing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 As far as I know you can't just buy that jewel but I may have a spare balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 For the work involved in replacing just the jewel it is probably more cost effective to just replace the balance assembly. But I suppose if you have the time on your hands and the skill to do it might be fun to give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 The spare part #730 is about £5, the complete balance is £40. So I think replacing just the single part is well worth it, I'd better invest the £35 left in a nice dinner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
