About repair watch's jewel.

[jhoho202]

저는 한국에 사는 시계 수리 초보자입니다. 영어가 서툴러서 구글 번역을 사용해서 이 글을 썼습니다. 이해해 주시면 좋겠습니다. 오리엔트 46941 무브먼트를 수리하던 중 시계 피벗을 고정하는 루비가 부러졌습니다. 무브먼트 전체를 사고 싶지 않고, 따로 사서 수리하고 싶습니다. 이베이에서 번들로 판매되는 루비를 살 수 있을까요? 아니면 수리할 오리엔트 무브먼트에 들어가는 루비를 따로 사서 수리해야 할까요? 따로 사야 한다면 어디서 살 수 있을까요? 시계 루비를 살 수 있는 사이트를 알려주시면 감사하겠습니다. 그래서 질문을 올렸습니다. 이 글을 쓰시느라 수고하셨습니다.

for some reason we are seeing the original text rather than the translation

I'm a watch repair novice living in Korea. I wrote this article using Google Translate because I'm not good at English. I hope you understand. While repairing the Orient 46941 movement, the ruby fixing the watch pivot broke. I don't want to buy the whole movement, I want to buy it separately and repair it. Can I buy a ruby that is sold as a bundle on eBay? Or should I buy a ruby that goes into the orient movement to be repaired separately and repair it? If I have to buy it separately, where can I buy it? I would appreciate it if you could tell me the site where I can buy the watch ruby. So I posted a question. Thank you for your hard work writing this article.

I am a beginner at watch repair, living in South Korea. My English is not very good, so I wrote this using Google Translate. I hope you can understand. While I was repairing an Orient 46941 movement, the ruby that holds the watch pivot broke. I don't want to buy the movement as a whole, but I want to buy it separately and repair it. Can I buy the rubies that are sold as a bundle on eBay? Or should I buy the ruby for the Orient movement that I am repairing separately and repair it? If I have to buy it separately, where can I buy it? Could you tell me about a site where I can buy watch rubies, that's why I posted this question. Thank you for your hard work writing this post.

Welcome to the forum.

Which ruby is it that's broken?

Can you provide photos if you're unsure which it is.

I don't think I need to know more about the Orient watch question, so please don't write anything related to the topic, but if you know where I can buy the watch's jewels = rubies and gems shock protection, I would like to know.

Which jewel is it you're looking for so we can advise if you just have to get a generic one or a specific one.

I forgot to upload the picture. These are the kind of watch jewelry I'm looking for.

Very surprising if you need them all? What is the issue you’re seeing?

 There is nothing wrong with the movement. I just posted the pictures of the rubies that I need so that I can know where to buy them as I practice repairing watches in the future.

The jewels in the barrel train bridge appear to be set or rubbed in so your best option would be a new bridge.

The balance jewel looks fine to me.

Buying a specific jewel for a specific movement is difficult if not impossible in most cases.

Then, can I replace it by purchasing a regular ruby with the same or similar width and height and pivot groove size from eBay? If I replace it like the above and operate the movement, will there be no problem?

Typically watch manufacturing companies will purchase parts to their exact specifications including the jewels. This means that typically you may not find an exact generic replacement.

I'm attaching a PDF of a book that explains how to replace jewels.
