Price & Availablility's on Watch Parts is one of those touchy issues for watch material houses. On one hand,Twin City Supply welcomes the opportunity to help you, & gain your trust, as you become another satisfied customer. On the other hand, the time & effort spent finding a part for you is wasted if you are just shopping around for the best price & have little or no intention of ordering said part. In general, we welcome your inquiries, and will gladly sell you the part as long as you follow a couple of suggestions. 1) we prefer you fax in your request to us at 800-328-6001, & then give us a couple hours to check for you. You may call in if you like, but do not demand we check immediately while you wait on the line. 2) We tend to keep those really hard to find parts for our regular customer base. They appreciate it, thats why they are regular customers. Sure, we will sell you a part, but we also want to sell you other items also.
