ETA mounting screws - Where to buy

[jigelow]

I've purchased quite a few mounting screw sets, but all of the heads on the screws are too big to fit in the recessed area on my ETA 2451. Any idea where the best place to look may be? I've seen a lot of the watch/eye glass screw sets, but all of them look too big.

I use these http://www.helenarou.com/10-mounting-screw-clamp-for-eta-2824-2836-102824283664976498.html

 

Head diameter on mine are 2.2mm

Yeah those are pretty standard. The head is too big, unfortunately.

Another option which I have used in the past is to get a cheap set of pin pin vices like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4PC-Pin-Vice-Drill-Chuck-Set-Jewellery-Making-Watch-Repair-Model-Craft-1-2-3-4mm-/301312911000?hash=item4627a62698:g:p34AAOSwQItUFAVf

 

Mount the screw in the pin vice and the pin vice in a drill and then turn down the head with a small file or wet & dry paper.
