Hi,

recently aquired a "Polerouter Date" according to my watchmaker the minute wheel is damaged.
Already searched online (ebay, google) but couldn't find one yet.

Does anyone here on OF has one which he is willing to sell or a complete movement?

Is the 69 minute wheel identical with other UG movements minute wheels?

Can someone recommend a business specialized in UG parts?

Thanks for looking, take care

 

eBay has three movements:

Now where's my finder's fee?

Now where’s my financial reward for helping you locate what you were looking for?

 

I think you are using the wrong watchmaker. One of my watches needed a minute wheel ... that was the easy part. New rotor was tougher but my watchmaker found that too. There is a very robust parts network for restoration watchmakers.

 

Great here is your reward:




Thank you very much so far...

I already contacted the seller, he's offereing a 69 but on the picture there is a 218-9. Same minute wheel on them?

Should have been more precise "without busting the bank"

This one is new to me, still bit expensive...


I was more thinking about an 10 Dollar BIN offer like this:

But I really appreciate any help!!!

 

According to the UG documents, the 68/69 are identical to the 218/218-2 except for some auto components.

Again, from UG, the 218/218-2 are identical to 215/215-2 except for some barrel, regulator, balance components - plus a few others but, not the minute wheel.

So, it should be a 215/215-2 minute wheel and that would be part number 260. If the last link you show is really from a 215, then it should be suitable but, it doesn't look in very good condition.

As @Larry S says, find a watchmaker who will locate these parts for you as I would be certain that I could get this part and it seems your watchmaker is not used to this sort of thing.

Cheers, Chris

Bought a few spares from this seller, a minute wheel included. Reasonably quick postage too

 

Hi Rusty, thank you very much, I think I'll go for this one! Have a nice evening!

Just bought it, thanks to everyone here for their input!!
