Colibri pocket watch with broken battery contact

[Kngkong]

Hey there, new to the forum. 
I have an old Colibri pocket watch with a broken negative battery contact. Is this a part which can be sourced or would you just make one. I have already made one but am going to give it another go. Which material is best and where is a good source. The current contact is .2mm thick. 
 

Making one isn’t too much trouble. Haven’t had any luck finding parts like this online but I don’t really know where to look. 
 

Thanks in advance,

John

The first place to start would be identifying the movement which conveniently you did not show us a picture of?

where the confusing thing is for people new to watch repair is who made the watch. There may be a name on the dial there may be a name stamped on the back but usually not always but usually is made by somebody else. The basically have to figure out who made the watch movement to get the parts so for instance I circled an image of the movement number.

 

fortunately I recognize the cell strap before you even gave me the movement number but I did need the movement to verify it's what I thought it was. Unfortunately the movement and discontinued.

Then you go to a website like the one below and get the cross-references.

now the cello part numbering go the homepage and see if it's available and it's not but it was worth the lock.

then I've attached a technical documentation on the movement. Because the part once did exist conceivably a material house on the planet has the part you have to email or call the material houses because it's a part that probably won't be listed online. Or you can go to eBay and do a search for eta 963 I don't see any cell straps thought I do see movements with cell straps. this means you basically get a cell strap with bonus components in case your watches and working.

Thanks so much for all the helpful information. Yes that was the beginning of my confusion of where to find parts. I’ve ordered a non working movement to get some spare parts. 
Cheers!
