The assortment box was a great way to be covered in case of incidents and spend less. Last time was out of stock at Cousins, now it disappeared, the answer I got:

Unfortunately the item you have requested is restricted and no longer available for distribution from the manufacturer.

I see there are ungraded cheap boxes on Ebay but with these on doesn't know what he gets exactly.

Oh, and the price of "non-Swiss gaskets" went up by 50%, for no apparent reason.

This is a protection, to prevent fake replacing Swiss.

Authorized repair centers will be provided with genuine parts.

Really? The thing is that only the assortment box has disappeared from Cousins, it's not even listed as restricted. 

One can still buy all the Incabloc products individually.

My guess is they just can't be bothered making them anymore. The Inca assortments I have are things of beauty but are from a time when all watches were mechanical and watches were serviced regularly and parts got sold all the time. Sad though. Inca was always really cool with those kits. Kif never did them like that.

Do material houses sell Swiss ETA parts?

Yes, when they can obtain them, how they do we shouldn't known or ask. Note a genuine part scheduled to be back in stock Nov 1st.?

Do ETA service centers instal Asian made parts?

Technically speaking, yes, because ETA has factories in China and Thailand ?
However, the subject here Is Incabloc,not ETA.  They are not owned by the Swatch group.

They are already out of stock for quite some time. I bought one set in the red box at Boley in Germany maybe 7 years ago and quite soon after that they were not available anymore.

on the other hand many watches use them, so find a nice pile of watch junk at a flea market, dismantle them sort them and clean them and you are up and running as a hobby watchmaker.

Yes, that's a common say but at least in my country at the moment flea markets are closed, and even before that the selection was scarce and expensive. Not wasting my time there when I can safely buy junk online.

This was always going to happen as ETA is owned by Swatch and unfortunately this company make the majority of shock springs. Its getting difficult to service and repair watch movements if parts are required.

This topic is about Incabloc (not ETA), which as mentioned above is an independently owned company.

I find perfectly plausible that they discontinued the assortement for whatever reason. Individual parts are available and I'm happy enough with that.

      About repair watch's jewel.

      By jhoho202 · Posted

      First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      By praezis · Posted

      I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. And often swapped parts are not the expected solution of all problems. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank

      Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break.
