A friend of mine asked me to look at a pocket watch to see if it can be put back in running order. It has a private label on the dial, "A. Stowell & Company". It has the same label on the watch movement. It needs a new main spring. It has a "T" end on it and is 2.65mm wide. Does anyone know where I would begin to look for a replacement main spring for it? It also could use a new dial face.

John,

Can you post a picture of the movement?

Then, I can find the correct length spring to go with your 2.65mm

Ok, we'll see if I can post these images. The serial number's kind of hard to read, 81290.

Heres' what the dial looks like.

Ok - John...

T-End and 2.65mm

Lets see what we can find for ya

Thanks for help Jon.

what is the thickness (or strength, whichever you prefer) of the spring John?

Regards,
Bila

I measured it a couple of times and it reads .19-.20mm.

Thinking maybe a South Bend 4374 for a 1st Model might do the trick... And I do have one...

16sz

T - End
2.60 - 18 Strength
20.25 inches length

That would be great Jon. If you can spare one, can I send you a payment via PayPal?

John,

Will send you a quick email
