Where do you guys buy your parts?
Hello everyone, I want to try to start my first build and therefore want to know where you guys buy your watch parts! Do you get them from eBay or do you know a supplier? Do you have any tips to get started without buying the wrong or bad parts?
Thank you for your answers! I am looking forward to reading them.

AliExpress to get you started.
I've gotten everything from ebay. There are other sites with better quality parts, but ebay has a lot of options of decent quality.

I read this fast and thought you wanted to know where we bought our pants.
Spaghetti scametti gets all parts from middlemen.
Aliexpress everything comes from there………..
Thanks a lot everyone for all of your answers!
Update: Orders are placed, the movement already arrived - I'll keep you posted how it all works out with the build! Cheers
I am excited to announce that yesterday I finished building my first watch. It is up and running and I am happy with the result. I have to say that design wise it could be more spectacular - maybe the next project will be more complex in that matter.
