Orient 55941 movement, with twisted balance hair

[TibiV]

Hello again ,

 

Is a timepiece with some history for the owner .

If you can help , I have this issue, I was trying to find on e bay but there is an increasing of fees  and a lot of their customers are closing their selling  web pages .

Orient 55941 is very similar with Seiko 4206/4207 movements .

Do you have a clue for his issue please.

Where I could find a full balance staff for this movement, I'm not so skilled!

Thank you,

 

Health and BR

I think you mean "twisted hairspring" and "balance complete".

You should have posted a good picture to tell if it is repairable or not.

There is no secret place for parts. Add that Orient never made parts available. Try  a Seiko balance perhaps.

Hello jdm,

 

Thank you for your input,  on e bay it is more and more hard to find spare parts, do you know some other  sites or whatever  ? I have to find a balance complete ( thank you for this- in Romanian we called  balance hair- I will learn ) I cannot repair it I'm not assuming a hairspring repair at the moment! I did not broken enough hairsprings  to step on !

 

Thank you again

BR

 Doesn't  Orient 55941  go in ladies watch only ?  not worth spending money on. 

A scrap movement or even a watch in need of repair is your best bet.

 A hairspring off of same calib oscilator might not produce the right beat with the  balance you got.
