READ THIS STUFF!   IT IS IMPORTANT!
Then you can surprise me by following directions. tiny smiley

This is a free service. Your search will be seen by nearly 1000 people in the next month. xPlease help me by reading and attempting to follow the directions for posting. There is nothing automated about this service. All searches are posted by me at the keyboard. The more your request follows the desired pattern, the easier it is for me to post.

 
Post your search request in the form at the page bottom.

The Search Title should include the following for Swiss watches:
  • The ebauche maker--keeping in mind that the name on the dial is not necessarily the ebauche maker. See Watch Manufacturers' Trademarks
  • The Caliber Number
  • The BestFit ® Part number of the part requested - If Known
  • The Swiss Ebauche Part Number - If Known
    See these illustrations: Movement -Bridge Side, Movement - Dial Side
  • Any additional information that will help the reader to correctly identify the part you are seeking.
The Search Title should include the following for American Watches IN THIS ORDER:
  • The Maker
  • The Movement Size
  • The Movement Grade if Applicable
  • The Jewel Count
  • The Movement Configuration: Open Face or Hunting
  • The Movement Serial Number

The complete description for either Swiss or American watches should include as much additional information as possible in order to help the reader to correctly identify the part you are seeking. There is as much room as you need on the complete description page. Photos are welcome. See here.

If you are unaware of how to identify the movement, or the needed part, look here for guidance.

Since all search entries are entered into the site manually, any help in formatting is appreciated. This would include using capital letters when appropriate. Make your search title in the format of a book title, using capital letters at the beginning of each word. Please, not ALL caps; that doesn't help. Realize that it is much easier for us to cut and paste rather than needing to rewrite the entire search title. We are doing this for free, help us out as much as you can.

Please view the contents page and make an effort to copy the style of the titles used on that page. For example: The Search Title should follow this format: Manufacturer 's Name, Caliber Number (or Size and Grade for American watches), then a space and the name of the part desired. Photos

The "Complete Description" can contain whatever you wish and will likely get copied onto the page word for word with whatever misspellings and grammatical errors it contains.

Clicking any entry on the contents page will take you to a typical "Complete Description" page upon which you may model your complete description.

Photographs
If you think that a photograph may help to better identify what you are seeking, we are happy to post images on the complete description page. Since there is no provision to insert photographs in this form, send the photograph (.jpg format) by e-mail to ccwatchmaker@gmail.com with a short explanation of what it is for.

PLEASE DO NOT ABBREVIATE. This site is viewed in more than fifty countries around the world. Obviously, many are not native English speakers and may have no clue as to the meaning of an abbreviation. The fact that this is a free service does not mean it is work free. For every keystroke you leave out, I have to replace one.

There is no reason to insert the word "Needed" into your search title or text. Obviously, if you didn't need the part, you wouldn't be posting to this site.
