    My watch Smith gave me a list of parts that I need in order to convert my paper weight UG tri-compax into a functioning watch.
    Any leads on the parts or photos (to see what I'm looking for) will be greatly appreciated.

    Please note, my Watch Smith is Cuban, so I have some parts in English and some in Spanish (help with the correct name will also be appreciated)
    Cal. 481
    - cannon Pinion
    - Rochester Wheel
    - Sliding Pinion
    - Rueda de Corona ( crown wheel?)
    - Rueda intermedia (for the setting.... it's next to the Rueda de Corona).

    Thanks for all your help!!

    Find another watchmaker that specializes in repair and restoration .. you should not have to source parts. That’s quite a long list btw. Btw pics please! Also geographic location is helpful.

    I'm located in south Florida. The watch Smith is an old timer that has fixed all my vintage chronographs in the past, he's does not use the internet and letting me have at it to see if I can find the pieces.

    Well have fun, but time value of money.

    Thanks Larry, if anyone can recommend a watch Smith in south Florida, I will strongly considered too. For the time being, I will continue my scavenger hunt.
    Any way to get part numbers for those pieces?
    I was looking for a cal. 481 diagram, but couldn't find any.
