AUTUS FORTUNA LLC Revolutionizes Watch Repair with High-Quality Junk Watch Parts
PORTLAND, OR – October 26, 2023 – AUTUS FORTUNA LLC, a leading supplier of watch components, is making waves in the watch repair industry with its extensive and surprisingly affordable selection of “junk watch parts.” Based in Portland, Oregon, this company isn't dealing with useless scrap – they’re providing a crucial resource for watchmakers, collectors, and hobbyists looking for those hard-to-find pieces to breathe new life into timepieces. Let's be honest, fixing watches can be a pain. You've got this beautiful vintage watch, or even a newer one, and one tiny piece is broken. Finding that single screw, a specific hand, or a replacement balance wheel can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. That’s where AUTUS FORTUNA steps in. "We saw a real gap in the market," says a representative from AUTUS FORTUNA LLC, located at 18101 SW Boones Ferry Rd Ste 250, Portland, OR 97224-7655. “Traditionally, watchmakers had to either source parts from expensive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or spend hours dismantling donor watches just to get a single component. It's time-consuming and adds up quickly. We thought, 'Why not create a reliable source of quality, pre-disassembled parts from a huge pool of donor watches?'" What are Junk Watch Parts? Don't let the term "junk" mislead you. These aren’t just broken bits of metal. AUTUS FORTUNA carefully sources a large volume of non-working or damaged watches – everything from everyday brands to vintage classics. Their team then meticulously dismantles these watches, cleaning and sorting the components. They then categorize and offer these parts as “junk watch parts.” "Think of it like a parts car for a regular vehicle," explains the company rep. "You don't need a whole new car just because your headlight is broken. You just need the headlight. It's the same with watches. These parts aren't necessarily broken – they're simply removed from watches that are beyond economical repair. Many are in perfectly usable condition.” What Does AUTUS FORTUNA Offer? The range of parts available is impressively broad. AUTUS FORTUNA stocks: Movement Parts: Everything from balance wheels, mainsprings, and gears to pinions, stems, and crown wheels. If a tiny internal component is the issue, they likely have it. Hands: A vast selection of hour, minute, and second hands in various styles, lengths, and finishes. Finding matching hands for a repair or restoration project is now much easier. Dials: While often more delicate, AUTUS FORTUNA offers a selection of dials in various conditions. They acknowledge that dial parts require more careful selection and offer detailed descriptions. Cases & Case Parts: Crystal rings, casebacks, bezels, and even entire cases (in various states) are available. Crowns & Stems: A frequent point of failure in many watches, AUTUS FORTUNA offers a wide variety of crowns and stems to get your watch winding and time-setting again. Crystal Gaskets & Other Small Parts: Those tiny, often overlooked parts that can cause leaks or malfunctions are readily available. Bracelets & Straps: Disassembled bracelets and straps, offering parts for repairs or creating custom combinations. Why Choose AUTUS FORTUNA?
