hamilton 505 watch parts
Does anyone know where I can order a fourth wheel and pinion for a 1963 hamilton electric 505 movement??I thought maybe Otto Frei but sounds like they only want to deal with certified watchmakers..I successfully serviced the 505 and it is running well,maybe Scott Cerullo or Chris Abell might have some pointers??
Many Thanks..Mark

Did you try calling them directly or just try to get online.

They seem to respond better by calling them.


I buy most of my stuff from Jules Borel.

If you are servicing 505's any parts house should not have a problem selling you parts.

Would it be cheeper to by parts movements off the bay?

I have tons of Accutron parts watches.

But not one 505 that is in pieces. Frown

Thanks Eugene.....I will check out Borel and the
bay; I found out in the Bestfit
catalog that the 500 movement has the same wheel which will increase my luck
