It would seem that RSC or an independent with a parts account would be the most logical sources.

Try opening a new thread in the watchtech forum. The watchmakers tend to hang out there.

Did your crown come apart or did you lose a spring in the keyless system? Which caliber/reference number?

Best bet is to send to RSC, but if you want to fix it yourself then I need a little more information to give you the part number you need to source.

Thanks
Please edit your post and remove your serial as we (and the rest of the world) don't need to see that.

Your watch has caliber 3035. Now which exact spring did you lose? One from inside the movement (keyless system) or did your crown fall apart and is it the one inside the crown?

If it is the latter than I'm afraid you will need a new crown.
