not looking to buy them but just asking what other items around the house would have small size screws?

sometimes i need just 1 or two screws to replace those flea size ones that go flying away.

a watch i would assume would have those types of screws.

A watch won't do it, the screws are too small.
Look for an optician shop or buy a couple of $5 lenses and you'll have plenty of screws.

Hi,

Have you checked MicroTools ?

I bought a good-sized bag of assorted micro screws and bolts from a radio-control model dealer...worth a look there if you have one local.

it is too far for me. shipping to asia is really expensive.

i just want a screw or bearing ball once in a while when i start tinkering with my lens.

Then, just look for broken lenses/cameras sold as spares/repair near where you live ... But keep in mind that these screws don't have always the same threading ...
