B@rt's tritium thread continued

[B@rt]

Got it, your vials will go out tomorrow.

I was wondering if you'd happen to know what sized vials are found in the Marathon Watch Company's GSAR? I have a watch that I was issued in 2007 and the tritium vials need to be replaced, but am having a hard time finding the correct sized vials.

 

[ManInTheMirror1320]

I don't see it in my account yet, did you check the email address?

Funds should be there now sir.

 

[B@rt]

Nightowl, I don't know what size vials the Marathon GSAR uses, different manufacturers use different sizes. I think the best way to get them replaced would be to send Marathon a mail for a quote, another possibility would be to contact MB Microtec to see if they can help you.
I would not try to do it yourself even if you could get the bare vials...

 

[nightowl4150]

Hi Bart, Thanks for the reply and the suggestions. I've contacted Marathon and am waiting on a quote. As for MB Microtec, do you have any experience with them working on other watch brands? I definitely would not try working on the watch myself. I'm just trying to get all of the replacement parts for the jeweler to do the repairs.

Thanks,

J.C.

 

[B@rt]

I know MB Microtec supplies the vials for various brands and I assume they do installation for them as well, but to be sure you would have to contact them.
A lot of assuming and guessing here, but I guess the actual vials are not replaced, I think the whole dial is replaced for cost efficiency. :thinking:

Hello B@rt, very nice to meet you.

hello B@RT, I'd like to order several trit tubes from you, if still available. I will send you a direct email to your address you've listed previously.

 

[TILL-22]

Hi B@rt, just want to make sure.. No spheres available again until further notice, right?

 

[B@rt]

Midget, that's fine, I will reply via email.

Till-22, no, I'm afraid not, MB Microtec stopped producing them and I have not been able to get them for a decent price yet...

 

[Truman45]

Hey B@rt, I'd like to order 2 of the 4x20mm HP ice blue vials. Thanks!

[sandra bullock]

Hey B@rt do you know where I can get some 3x22.5 mm vials?

 

[B@rt]

Maybe you can salvage one from a glowring, they use that size I think...
Other than that I don't know, sorry.

 

[blkdawg]

Can I use 1.5 x 5 on my Quantum DD? I think it is suppose to use 1.5 x 6?
How about Lumintop LM10?

Thanks

 

[B@rt]

They both use 1.5x6mm vials. You can use my vials as well but you will have a 0.5mm gap on either side of the slot.

 

[nøn]

Could I order 2 1.5x5mm vials in ice blue?

thanks

 

[B@rt]

Of course you can.
Your total for them with letter mail shipping is $19.-, please send F&F PayPal to pixpimp(at)gmail.com and email me your shipping address.
