freddy333 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Does anyone know the availability of parts (mainsprings, balance wheels, cap jewels, click springs, etc.) for Valjoux chrono movements? Are all the parts readily available or do you have a problem when a part wears out or breaks? Recommended parts sources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Parts are a challenge. This stuff hasn't been made in 25 years (the manual wind chronos like the V72), so parts stock is NOS- new old stock- or you have to steal them from a donor movement. There are some watchmakers who work on the Valjouxs and they probably have repair parts- you can do a google search and see what pops up. Servicing a v72 is going to run around $300 and up w/o parts. That's why people buy spare movements for $300-400 when they find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
