GenTLe Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I am having hard time to get some of the Novodiac spring 231 (1.7mm used in the 2801.2, 2824, 2836, 2842 etc). This thing here: Anyone knows a source around EU, other than cousinsuk where they are not available, and those online shops that sell only to professionals? I have a couple of base plate with missing and I'd like to have them complete. Thanks, Gentle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 This is off the subject a bit but I have had the best luck r/r Novodiac shock springs with a hollow punch with the hole tapered like a funnel on the inside from a standard staking set, mine is a Kendrick & Davis (K&D). Select a punch that is slightly smaller than the jewel setting and gently turn the spring to the openings by turning the punch by hand. This works better than any high priced tool you can find...but you have to find the correct punch. The punch I use is about 1.4/1.5mm at the tip. You can sand the tip down if needed by chucking the punch in a drill to spin it. They sell for about $1 or $2 each on eBay, watch shows etc or a repair guy may have an extra one they will sell. I do not know what sizes these are but here is what they look like except these do not have tapered (funneled) holes...eBay item number: 191834675111 Here is what my staking set looks like, a friend gave it to me: eBay item number: 371580372242 This one is only $750. (!!) Btw, Otto Frei has the springs for $2.45USD if you know anyone in the USA who might get them for you. I do not have an account with them. http://www.tztoolshop.com/page94.html Buy 12 and get them for almost half price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
