I was looking at putting a clock together, but the clock component kit has been out of stock for awhile now with a date that says it will be back in stock before yesterday…so clearly they have no idea when they will be back in stock. I was wondering if someone found a cheap alternative to source the same clock (like maybe AliExpress). Since it’s all coming from China anyway I figure there should be one. Just starting this thread maybe as a way to share some alterative source for out of stock stuff until they get their stuff together.
Looking at photos and dimmensions it looks to be based on “Heng Rong Mute Sweep Clock movement”
Check dimmensions of 3d model on the kit page to confiirm dimmentsions, especially shaft and screw thread length, but measuring mine I’m tempted to say with 90% certainty that it’s HR-1688SS-16.5
Well if you look at the pictures it says HR-1688 on the back so im pretty sure you’re right, question is, where is a cheap link to source them =]
Is this what you need?
I bought a bunch of these.
Be aware, that the hands have different-sized holes than the set from BL.
The bodies however are a perfect match.
That listing says Currently unavailable for me, but good note
If you really want that clock and are willing to pay extra well:
Most of the clock mechanisms on Amazon are the same, it just depends on the quantity and price per item you seek.
