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.

    • While you might have seen it as a humorous/Dramatic remark was done very deliberately so I could get an answer. Let me quote myself? The simplistic of this entire discussion is the group would like the last forever.   If you go to the top of the discussion group you'll find something to click on that says staff. Then you click on Mark's name and you find out interesting things? For instance he was last here on Saturday so yes he is here. If there is a crisis or a problem he is going to be here. You will also find a list of his activity although that's only the public activity. There's a lot of work that goes into running message boards and he probably does a lot of stuff in the background that we don't see to keep it going. Unfortunately message boards do not run themselves. Then regarding this did you notice you can message Mark and ask him. Then if somebody, we could elect somebody from this discussion such as @Neverenoughwatches To reach out I would really keep the message super simple like? You could refer him to this discussion but I would really keep it simple Like for instance the group enjoys his message board and what could we do to keep it going Forever? Then regarding all of the other suggestions comments helpful remarks or ideas? When was the last time any of you bothered to read the message board rules? This is covered which is one of the reasons I did the dramatic things I did to provoke a response of the basics as opposed to starting to suggest or seemingly suggesting all sorts of ideas which are covered by one of the rules found in the section on rules. In other words I'm going to quote something from the rules of the message board.  
    • For me any input from Mark would be great. If he's keeping a close eye i would imagine he has read about our concerns here. But specifically i would like to know if he is ok with us collecting each others contact information for those of us that wish to provide them. 
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. 
    • Thank you!   Yes I did. I did not notice a difference. Although 9415 is advertised as a thixotropic grease (and I did had high hopes for it), the only advantage at this point I see is that its “easier” to apply than an oil (if one does not use epilame). But this is subjective, I guess. What I did notice though, if you apply a bit too much grease, that definitely slows down the movement. Oil in this case is a bit more forgiving, as its super thin, and it would usually just spread out.  Again, imho.
    • Mark keeps a close eye on his forum. I'm sure if you asked him he will reply, he might not do it right away but you will receive his answer.
