This watch had a bad canon pinion and center wheel (eta 2462 mvt), after opening it to diagnose saw it was missing a case screw and tab. I got the center wheel and canon pinion replaced and it wasn't until re-casing that I realized the casing screw had been broken off by a previous meddler and it was still lodged in the base plate. Wasn't loose enough to come out easily but it did come out fine with an extractor. Problem is I can't find a proper screw and tab to go back. I've cut a tab that will work but the screw is a fine thread and with a countersunk head. I don't want to force in a bastard screw and out of tons of different types of case screws in my stash, not one will fit the bill. If anybody has one or has a suggestion I would appreciate it.

Can't post a pic, file either too large or wrong format, no time to deal with it, I'll try later. 🙁

I think there is a file limit of about 150mb maybe? I've had to use a free online tool to reduce the size of a few of my pictures when uploading.
