Findings

Watch findings are the small replacement parts used in watch repair: crowns, stems, crystals, gaskets, spring bars, case back screws, dial feet, and movement components. Think of them as the consumables and spare parts a watchmaker needs to complete a service or repair.

Measure the diameter of your existing crystal (or the bezel opening) in millimeters using a digital caliper. Then identify the type: mineral glass (most common, affordable), sapphire (scratch-resistant, premium), or acrylic/plastic (vintage watches). Match the diameter, type, and profile (flat, domed, or tension ring) to find your replacement.

Spring bars are sized by width (matching your lug width, typically 18mm, 20mm, or 22mm) and diameter (1.5mm standard, 1.8mm for heavy-duty). Measure your watch’s lug width with calipers. Fat spring bars (1.8mm) are recommended for dive watches and NATO straps for extra security.
