I have a early Columbus key wind 18 size 11 jewel movement ser# 22055 that needs a staff does anyone have a number for this staff or where i could get one.

I don,t have much info. in my books on Columbus watches any help would be much appreciated..

Samie,

Swartchild's had three listings for 18s Columbus staffs. One had a factory PN of "12/3" and the other two had to be "Made to Sample". Most likely, you will need someone to make a new staff.

Samie,
Saw these while browsing eBay this morning. Any chance these are the staffs you are looking for?

I don't know anything about this seller.

Thanks John i may have to either make one or get one made both pivots are still on the staff but one is bent quite a bit also a cracked jewel..I will try and get a picture and dia,s on the staff ..

Dave thanks for the link i will email for some sizes of the hub..and pivots etc..

Samie,

The auction that Dave found appears to have one staff with a broken pivot. If one of the staffs have seats that are a little too large, you can always cut them down if the overall length is okay.

John good eyes i would have never saw that..

I may try and see if a southbend staff might work..

Check to see if the 18/S south bend staff will fit.I have used them in 18 size Columbus.Go to Dashto web page and check measurements.
