leitztozeiss Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi all. Just wondering if anyone here has managed to locate replacement 45mm radiomir case lug screws? I've got a couple in need of replacing - actually, I wouldn't mind buying several sets because these darn things are easy to strip and to lose. Thanks.

ubiquitous Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I forget who the seller is, but there is someone on eBay who sells an assorted lot of 500 - 1000 misc. watch screws for $25 (if I recall correctly). In this mix, I believe there are maybe 10 sets of 4 of the exact same screws used for the Radiomir lugs (count may vary- I am not certain how the assortment is determined; it could be completely random). If I find that seller again, I'll PM the link to you Zeiss.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitztozeiss Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Thanks Ubs. Need replacement screws for my WM 3646!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highflyingclive Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 A local watchmaker can make these screws for you. You don't know a local watchmaker? Look in the Yellow Pages under "Clock Repairs". These guys have to make virtually every spare part that they need. Turning up a couple of screws should not present them with a problem.

leitztozeiss Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I had a bad experience with my local watchmaker. Otherwise, a good idea HighC. I found a thread at TRC with approximate dimensions. Can anyone confirm these dimensions? If so, I can try to source them: stainless steel, slotted, round head polished dia of head: 1.5mm dia of shaft: 1.0mm length of screw:3.0mm leaving 2.5mm for shaft, or thereabouts thread pitch: about 6 threads per 1.5mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Would these screws (from either source) be much better, and longer lasting or suffer the same problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
