HI

Is it possible to replace the anti shock unit on a balance cock. I have removed it from the balance.The 2 clips either side that hold the unit in place had snapped.

Its just the unit i need i can replace the jewel.

Or do i have to replace the whole balance cock unit.

Does it need to be the same make.

like a tudor watch would need a tudor balance cock unit.

thanks

I have done this fiddly repair recently on a 620, so it is possible.  First you'll remove the hairspring/balance from the balance cock.  Flip over the balance cock and you'll see the u-shaped clip that is holding in the incabloc setting.  I would recommend installing the new shock-spring and cap jewel into the setting before installing back into the balance cock.    

You can scavenge a new shock-spring for a reasonable price from www.ofrei.com , part:FB-INCA-ROA466

Just in case you want all the numbers I have them below. But it looks like The assortment FB-INCA-ROA466 Is a better way to go because you get spare parts.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Klassiker · Posted

      I agree with @JohnR725. Oil on an epilamed surface is essentially the same as water on a waxed surface. The same physical properties are at work (surface tension vs. adhesion).

      Without Our Forum

      By Waggy · Posted

      I think we all get a lot out of this group, and it has been pivotal in my development by the sharing of knowledge, experience and learning from more seasoned experts such as @JohnR725 and others (you know who you are!) as well as fellow novices. I think that having a backup communication plan in reserve so that if there is a future problem just makes good sense. I don't think anyone is trying to undermine the forum, but if something unthinkable happens, like the Ranfft website for example, then it would be good if those who are willing can still keep in contact. Speaking personally, and I know I risk a charge of heresy, it would be good if Mark could be a little more visible in this forum, and maybe give any insight from time to time on the future/progress of forum and instructional videos etc. even if its just to confirm the status quo. I appreciate he is a busy man with a full time job, but so are most of the rest of us and to post a few lines every now and then shouldn't be too much to ask to reassure the restless villagers. Best outcome for me would be a message saying something along the lines of: "Hi guys, all good, no planned changes... enjoy the forum, will message again next month!" Just my two cents.

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      A nice looking watch !! Did you try 9010, instead of the 9415, on the pallet jewels / escape wheel? And if you did, did you notice a difference?

      404 Club

      By Waggy · Posted

      Knocked out another 404 last night...when you are in the zone! This watch was a non-runner which I picked up as part of a lot of 8 watches, so works out to be $3.12 per watch. Before:   And the finished watch, new crown and stem and the crystal was cracked so was replaced. I also replaced the mainspring as the original was the old steel type spiral and very 'set' - all else is original: The Movement was a AS 1686, but in reading around a little the ACCRO watch company were sued for their use of the five point crown on their Jacques Pere range as it resembled Rolex, see below: ACCRO then reverted to just ACCRO on their watches - I have done some sniffing around the internet and haven't seen another example of ACCRO and the crown together on a dial so maybe I have something unusual, or maybe I was looking in the wrong places 🙂.

      Pocket watch escape wh

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      This watch was damaged when I got it. I didn't break the escape wheel pivot, and I bodged a fix with epoxy to see if I could get it running. I'm not yet ready to get into lathe work, or shellacking jewels, and may never be. But I'm learning plenty with each watch I tackle.
