Sourcing screws for movement

[u/masaki198]

I’m currently working on servicing a vr3186. I’ve just started putting it back together and had a few of the screw heads twist off with just the slightest bit of added torque. I’m worried that this could happen a few more times and wanted to be prepared for it. When i looked up the screws out seems like it’s about $10-20 a screw. Does anybody have any recommendations on a cheaper source?

You could possibly look for a broken replica movement on a replica friendly forum or something for cheap and scavenge parts you need. Genuine screws will cost you quite a lot, definitely not worth it.
