Ronda catalogs.

[Neverenoughwatches]

Eyup watch peeps. I have just received another useful book addition . There are sites containing this information, one in particular is the balance staff and stem .com site. A very handy database when searching for information on sizes. But it is an actual retail site so may not be around forever. If you google ronda catalogs there are also pdfs that you can download, i will add a link, but the stem pdf are not complete to the book. Everything is there but only is alphabetical order of make. Not grest if you have a stash of stems by ronda number order which  i happen to have. This book will save  days if not weeks of searching and identifying ronda numbered stems also unknown stems.

I took the catalogues that you can view page-by-page at vintagewatchparts.net and made handy pdf's:

Ronda Winding Stem Catalogue:

Ronda-Stem-Catalogue VintWatchPrts.pdf

Ronda Balance Staff Catalogue:

Ronda-Staff-Catalogue VintWatchPrts.pdf

DCN Winding Stem Catalogue:

DCN-Stem-Catalogue VintWatchPrts.pdf

DCN Balance Staff Catalogue:

DCN-Staff-Catalogue VintWatchPrts.pdf

In the case of the Ronda stems, there is a mistake on the website whereby two of the pages are substituted by the correspondingly numbered pages from the staffs catalogue. I informed the website, and the error is corrected in my pdf.

I hope they're still exciting reading even though I've removed the twist in the plot.

There's actually quite a bit of info missing on the vintage watch parts downloads as well some other sites. The more detailed book have 3 sections, by alphabetical order, by size and by code numbers. This allows users to cross reference through the sections which is great if you have an unknown stem or staff.
