    I know it's a long shot, but I really need the 19 jewel rotor, anybody have any idea of how to get one? Without buying a whole watch of course, I just can't afford that.

    I'm assuming you mean the 19 jewel chronometer rotor like this:

    I've been looking for one for at least 10 years. Not available from the factory.

    The last non-working movement I saw with one of these went for over $300. Not worth it IMO.

    Even if it existed as new replacement, it'd cost more than a whole used movement...

    I think you need to start trolling the auction site and set up some alerts. What you need has sold in the past for under $85.
    eBay item number: 311586221866

    Big difference in price between non-chronometer and chronometer rotors. In fact, the 20 jewel version may still be available from supply houses:

    This one is not for a Constellation. Gatorcpa just said he's been looking for a long time for one.

    To be fair, the OP never said that he was looking for a chronometer rotor.

    I just made that assumption on the grounds that if he wanted a non-chronometer version, they are pretty easy to source on eBay.

    He actually did say constellation in the title.

    Yea.. And that's discouraging. Oh well, maybe I can find a whole movement for parts or something.

    Just keep checking Ebay

    Also check the Ebay variation sites. UK, Germany, Italy etc. Sometimes items listed on those sites are not listed on the US one

    Problem with the other sites. No hidden reserve pricing (that I saw), so either listed with a low starting bid or starts right out with the price the seller wants.
