Looking to restore a watch that uses tritium / betalights / GLTS tubes or 'vials' - and finding it hard to source a couple in the size required for the hour & minute hands: 0.65mm diameter x 4.1mm long + 0.65mm diamater x 6.6mm long, both in green. Might be able to substitute with vials just a little larger, up to 1mm diameter max due to clearance between the hands.
Have tried: eBay, alibaba, aliexpress, amazon - all suppliers seem to be out of stock in those sizes.
Any suggestions for sources of these?
Look Here -> |
Nice selection there, but still missing sizes I need.
Any others?

Now that's showing some promise, thanks! Hopefully they'll supply the tubes on their own... will send off an email and see what they say.
...by all reports I've seen, they should be able to sort you a solution.
I got a boner seeing some fresh tritium

Sent keytimewatch an email, no answer, found that their website is down. I'll keep trying. Might be in one of the infamous snap lockdown zones...?
Website back up, and another message sent. Lets see if they respond this time.
Looks like the site is up and down like a yoyo right at the now
