Missing screw for rotor

So as it always happens, the last part to put on the movement before the watch is back in one peice goes flying accross the room into oblivion. I need the screw that holds the autowind rotor on for an ETA 2824 (Swiss not Asian if it matters). Can any one help point me to the right place, Ofrei's most assuredly has the screw but their webpage is a bit hard to navigate....

Thanks

You could try the hoover with a stocking over the nozzle.

When I say it went flying into oblivion, I was being conservative....

I was working over hard wood floors and I could hear it land quite some distance away and then slide on the floor for several seconds before it stopped. So no clue where it went and it is one small screw, I was just hopping for help finding the part number at Ofrei's as I find their web page challenging to navigate.

Ah, I take it you think it's gone between floorboards?

I've used a big magnet from the back of a loudspeaker to "sweep" an area of floor quickly, it picks up everything ferrous including screws.
