SEIKO spare parts supplier?

[mchomicz]

I was wondering if anybody happens to know of any SEKIO spare parts suppliers (ideally with web sites; but phone number would be plenty if they do mail order)? Specifically - I'm looking for case-back gaskets for my SEIKO 5 (which I believe I will need to replace once I open the case to regulate the watch).


BTW – I'd be happy to order from oversees – as long as the shipping cost is not exorbitant.


Thank you,
Michael

I don't know if anyone reads this forum - much less answers but julesborel.com most likely has your part.

I wonder if there is any active watchmaking forum on the internet?

Thanks a lot! An awesome resource. I'm sure he'll be able to get what I'm looking for and I will probably also get some other things from him, too.
