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.

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.

      First Project Already A Bit "Sideways"

      By DDean · Posted

      I will try this weekend.  I've tried several times with my cell phone and it's just too small and recessed to get a good picture.  I need to get my macro lens and tripod out and then figure out how to get enough light down the hole in the side of the man plate to  actually show the top of the broken screw. I appreciate the effort and will try and get that pic this weekend.

      Hi,   My name is Simeon I am based in Sydney, Australia and have recently got into watch repair / watch making.  I am very much a learner having serviced multiple forgotten watches, some of which were actually successful!   I have a slowly growing collection of watches, mainly old Soviet, a few Japanese and (not pictured) some Raketas, a Poljot Alarm, an Omega Speedmaster Reduced and a vintage (1972) Tissot Seastar.  I like unloved vintage watches, with quirky faces and enjoy bringing them back to life through the simple(!) act of disassembly, clearing and reassembly. I am an Electrical Engineer who also undertook a trade apprenticeship so I am reasonably handy - It's fair to say, I know just enough to get myself in trouble.

      Citizen Cosmotron X8 04-4800 Fault finding

      By Simeon · Posted

      I took a chance on a non running Cosmotron X8 ("perhaps just needs a new battery" said the advert). Sure enough, I open it up and it has the wrong battery installed (a Renata 344 rather than the correct Renata 386) and the screws holding the battery contact had been sheared off to half a head on both ends. Ho ho, I thought - there's the problem. I got the broken screws out easily enough and as soon as I placed the correct battery in place the balance started. This picked up speed when I reinstalled one side of the battery contact and looked like it was a runner. As I was trying to get the replacement screws in, I did one side but the second was a bit of struggle (hold down the battery contact against its spring while dropping the screw in with tweezers) the balance stopped again. This time it wouldn't start again. 98 percent sure that I didn't stick anything, anywhere important or break it in a mechanical way. The battery was in place for most of the struggling with the contact, so it might have had an intermittent connection which could have upset the electronics. I tried giving it a puff with the blower but the balance doesn't seem to rotate in the normal way, it seems to be held in a static position by magnet. It can be pulled out of this position but spins back and stops dead. This may well be correct for all I know. Anyway, does anyone know anything about these watches and can tell me how I would go about and fault find this? I will be servicing it at some point so should be able to rule out mechanical issues from an old watch but not sure where to start with the electrical part of it.
