Hey all I just have a particular question regarding this model: https://puretimewatch.io/rm035-02-re...rap-nh05a.html
because I would like to install a clourless jewel bearing in the watch (like in the gen) but after a long time of searching on the internet I just cant seem to find a place where I can buy a clolorless SEIKO NH05A jewels for the balance wheel. Can anyone direct me onto the right website or is there someone in the forum who sells these parts:D?

As all the jewels that can be seen are attached to the decoration i would say the movement is irrelevant.

the only important thing is to find matching rubis. Some time ago a member posted an alibaba link to colorless jewels where the minimum pieces/order was about 100pc. Price per stone was about 0,6ct or so... quite ridiculous.

cant find the link but maybe a search on alibaba, aliexpress or even dhgate will help.

Oh yes just saw that it is a decoration plate ^^". I already tried dhgate but maybe I find something in the second try because I saw people here posting rms with these mods so it has to be somewhere BIONONE thank you mate

Just checked alibaba - there are many offers for ruby bearings. Prices differ of course.

A bit annoying that dhgate has none though.

Switching the jewel is easy enough with the right tools, finding the jewel is the tough thing. God speed!

Reading their offers on alibaba i have to say they seem pretty kind and flexibel regarding the measurements of the bearings you need.

That said the decoration of the RM needs to be measured hehe

Anyone tried modding to colorless jewel on Z+F? Modding bezel screws? Please share pics, etc. Thank you.

count me in if it's a bulk order, as I want to swap out the jewels on mine. Now I would just need to find someone to do it for me as I have zero clue on how to do it myself

Actually doing this is really simple since it is just a decoration plate in the front pretty much any half decent watchmaker could do this if he has the rm screw opener

was anyone at least able to figure out what sizes to order or which vendor could do the best pricing on the rubbles? I found a bunch as well on Alibaba but its useless without sizing.

I've uploaded a pic showing the gen since I can't upload pics.

On the Rep it's a pink ruby where it says "swiss" and "107370" on the gen it should be clear as well as a few other areas
