What KIF escape end stone part # for 3135

Folks, does anyone know what the KIF part # (eg. #516) is for the KIF Escape shock endstone is for a 3135?? I just need an end stone and not the Elastor spring.

Thanks for any tech assistance.

Make sure you get the right one, dial side end stone is thinner than the one on the other side.

From what I am seeing its part # 95019-3. Its the endstone for the Kif setting (on the escape wheel) bridge side and not the dial side.

Cousins in the UK has KIF endstones and I'm just trying to figure out if one of the many they sell would be a replacement for this Rolex/KIF endstone part.

I guess I could spend $$$$ for a Rolex part but its just a KIF part in reality.

Sorry but this is not true. The part is 95019-3 if you use the Rolex part number and the same part applies for top and bottom.

Hmm, having serviced quite a few movements and seen this in every one so far I assumed this was true for pretty much all movements, my mistake!

Thank you for correcting me

In different makes it varies, older movements tend to have different size jewels top and bottom, most newer have same top and bottom.
Rolex have had same top and bottom for a long time now.

Dom, thanks.

Are you fairly confident the #516 endstone fits the escape KIF insetting/bloc ? Could this one be a endstone for the balance?


Thank you!!

dom, THANK YOU.

Appreciate your taking the time to measure this part and help me out. Hope this helps others, too.
Now to correlate it to the correct KIF endstone part. I will work on that and report back with that info.

Thanks again.
