Bell-matic seals
« on: July 07, 2011, 03:24:43 AM »
Who is the best person to buy Bell-matic case seals from, please?  (In particular new crowns and alarm set seals.)
I would like to pay by PayPal and they would have to be sent to Australia.

I have been in Deepshit many times; the older I get, the easier it is  to get there. I actually kind of enjoy it there :)

OK, thanks for that. He replied to me and said he's got lots of parts. All I have to do is supply case numbers.
I'll leave him alone for a few days.... ;D

Ah easy.

I'm in Adelaide.

You can try -

I have purchased full bell-matic gasket sets from them before. They also do a range of horological tools, bits and pieces.

You could also try Birkett Watches & Jewellery

He is in the same building on a different floor and is very familiar with Bell-Matics.

Hi Polkie,

I'm curious as to where in Manila did you go to have  your bell serviced? 

Cheers!
