So my watchmaker tells me my wonderful Ebay purchase needs a new "anchor" (translated from German). Do you have any idea which part he might mean, and if so, what are the chances of finding this part? | ||

In fact can you point me to anyone who would have this part? | ||

I don't know what an anchor is, but I should gave just about everything for that movement. | ||

Well thats good to know. If I can just find out what part he�s talking about, then we could be in business. Hows your German?  | ||

My German is horrible. I dot understand why. I visit there 5 times a year and for some reason, it'a language I just can't seem to pick up at all. Anyways, I 99% sure I have that part, it's called a "lever". Where are you? Contact me privately to make arrangements: [email protected] thanks. | ||

Great! I will talk to my watchmaker first - just to make sure we are both talking about the same thing! I still have trouble with German, especially when it gets all technical, so you are�t alone. I�m in Stuttgart. | ||

Sorry, I forgot to say. He said he wanted to replace the crown/winder too,since the seal was no longer good. I asked him not to, so as not to affect the originality. Do you have one of these too with a good seal, or is it possible to replace the seal only? I didn�t want only a semi original looking part on the watch. | ||

Zaf - I finally got my watch back today, ticking away like a champ. My guy even found a "new" NATO band for it. It looks almost like new. Just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me out with that part! I would have been stuffed without you. cheers and thanks again! |
