Hey everyone.  I am servicing a Bulova 11 ANACD movement, and ran into the dreaded KIF Elastor 3-2 spring.  I am fairly new to watch servicing (I have only done one before; an ETA 1256), and decided I would take the spring off for oiling.  I am sure you can guess what happened next.  The spring sprung, and now I am here hoping someone has a source for them they can share.  I am located in the USA.  Pictured is the pretty dirty movement, before taking the spring out.  Thanks for your help!

Must be a ton of supply houses in USA. Jules borel and  Twin city supply. Perrin if you are close to Canada. Startimesupply and Esslinger. 

Cousisnuk have them otherwise.

Thanks for the quick reply!  I have looked on their websites, and must not know the exact item number, because I am coming up empty.  I use esslinger a good bit, so I may just give them a call.  If anyone knows if there's a model number other than KIF Elastor 3-2, I would appreciate it!

Unbelievably, I found the spring in the carpet with a very strong magnet.  I saw a technique using cling wrap, so I will give that a shot in hopes I don't lose the spring!  Thanks!
