Hello guys,
I am trying to find watch gear wheels ( of the less than 1mm variety) but couldn't find a suplier in the San Francisco/Bay Area so far. Do you know of any watch repair shops that'd sell these gear wheels in this area or any online shop that you were able to order from?
Thank in advance
Deniz

the ones in watches are goinf to be fairly fine........ Especially for a rivet tool.

Try a Watch or Clock repair shop?

Sorry, the html editor on the website apparently doesn't like the "less than" character so cut off the rest of my post.
Apparently, most of the repair shops can only do battery changes and send in any other repair jobs to somewhere else.
