making your own unobtainable Parts

Diabolik · Sep 27, 2026

Just spent my Sunday making/turning and drilling some unobtainable correctors/pushers for a project Tri Compax Moon phase I have. They need a little cleaning up and are slightly oversize (0.5mm bigger than originals) as they sometimes get stuck ! When you do sort of stuff, you realise why watch makers charge so much for repairs and servicing. They just need a little cleaning up and steel posts ...

Out of 3 sets, the best set is fitted to movement. The are approx. 0.5mm longer and work as they

should. The ones in tin circled in green are the originals which due to size (too small) would allow corrector to fall out into case when it was pushed. Next step if assembly and testing.

I was thinking about making these for a TDMP project. I would love to know how you made them
