hey gyys 

Is it possible to get just the top jewel for a balance cock, plus the brass contraption that keeps it in? If so, Can i get one for a omega 620, cousins want £127.00 for just a new cock. So yer can see why i am asking.

cheers

Just the end stone, or the one with the hole as well?

end stone you can measure the bottom one, which should be the same, abs get a generic replacement. 
 

The shock spring you may have to get an assortment and hope one fits...

 

unless another member has a spare.

You might find a lower jewel assembly on a mainplate in your bag of 620.

or among loose parts at the bottom of the bag.?

Just a thought.

hey

found a cap jewel as nuce says look proper. Its a jewel in a metal case that seems to fit nicely in  that hole in the cock. So i am now looking for a incabloc spring? Not found one of them.

Can you get em. and if yes were?

The supply houses should have generic springs I would think.  They do like to fly so there must be spares somewhere.

Yer thats great but which ones? the numbers i have do not correspond with cousins number.

Upper and lower i have 1342 or 72204401342.

So is there a way of telling which ones i need to order? (there not cheap) or is it a case of suck it and see.

cheers

In the pdf I posted above look up cal 620 (third line up from the bottom of page 1)

Jewel hole is 311.75

End stone is 222.11

Spring is 270.02

Check these part numbers in the relevant sections of Cousins web site on the link that I posted.

    • Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.
    • I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.
    • Get well soon Old Hippy, torn muscles.,  not good
    • Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.
    • If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.
