Hello! 

I'm trying to find a lower Incabloc spring for an Omega 613 which broke (now that's a first) while trying to reassemble and JB lists these two. Does anyone know what is the difference between them? Google and the parts list were not helpful.

 

Any help would be much appreciated,

Rafael

I think you'll find the picture at the link below helpful and confusing. I wonder if they had a design change because if you look there both distinctly different. But knowing what you have and looking at the picture you can figure out which one you need. then of little importance is the Omega spring would be rose gold color these will be the standard gold color.

Thanks John! Much appreciated. It's definitely the 175.03.

Would this be correct for the 565 lower spring as well?

I have a bunch of 270.03s on the way but I may be able to add the 175.03 as well, if that's correct. I couldn't find the cross information!

I have a link for the Omega 565 parts below. which casually looks confusing until I look at up above it does appear to be identical at least the same section that's been snipped out up above versus the section down below. But it's also confusing because their listing several different springs and there's a reference to Kif.

basically the easiest way if you still have a spring left is to look at the link up above the image and see which spring corresponds the one you need. Fortunately when they using Incabloc parts other than a variation of rose gold plating versus the gold plating they do appear to all correspond to the same size or the sizes that specifically Incabloc made that are found in the table at the link above.

It does appear that way, yes!

I have two messages in at Ofrei, where I placed an order earlier today. I hope they get it to add five of those springs to my order!!

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · 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.

      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.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      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.
