I need a micro spring..... 1mm od

[justjeepin86]

So, I need a 1mm od spring 3mm long for a watch. Anyone have any ideas so I don't have to spend 40 bucks on a minimum shipment. I found a 10 pack on ebay, but that's about $25 and form UK.

Sorry, don't have a good answer for you that will seems reasonable for a home DIY project.
Last time I needed a really small precision spring for a lab project I think we got it from here

That's a string, not a spring.

THAT was a hair. Once I manscaped a little bit did somewhat resemble a spring

I think I'd search the other way around and look for the watch parts for the specific watch you want to repair, maybe even go to a jewelry shop that works on the specific watch and see if they have the part on the shelf they'd sell you. likely to be a lot cheaper from someone who had to order twenty five to get a few for repairs

Even McMaster has nothing like that. Gonna be a tough find!

SDPSI goes down to about 1.5mm, but nothing 1mm
