So, I went to wind my watch this morning and watched the balance wheel and all of the sudden it stopped. i looked it under a loupe and saw that one of the welds/whatever holds the hairspring on at one end broke and my watch stopped :(

What can i do?!

What movement?

If its a 2836,2824 or 7750 I have some spares that I could send you.

Never mind, I didnt pay attention that this was in the Pam section. I have no parts for any of these.

It happens all the time, mostly to the latest models of these asian movements.

The fix it to simply re-glue the spring tip into the stud post, but you need to tools and skill to get the hairspring flat and concentric, and you need a timing machine to re-set the beat and rate following the repair.

Baha,

All I have are watchmaker screwdrivers and a 12x loupe.

Hmm... How much for an eintirely new movement?

i also just broke the hairspring on the same movement (new Asian) this week, and I understand it may be more convenient to replace the entire balance (which runs USD 75 maybe). not sure if this requires more or less skill than the previously suggested fix.

Did you ever check your PM? I offered to help you, but I can't if you don't respond to your messages.

I think I may have had a little bit to do with helping epspi fix his watch (epspi, please correct me if I'm wrong).
