Working on an Omega 563 movement, and one of the Incabloc springs yelled "FREEDOM" and disappeared into the ether.  I believe I found factory replacements, but they appear to be a *hair*  too large.  Am I correct in my assumption that the balance cock side is the 'lower'?  Also, they seem to be Mfr only, and restricted.  Is there a way to order the spring by size?  Pretty sure i opened a horrible can of worms, although i did find the cap jewel on my desk, so there is that going for me!  Thanks in advance!

Use a clear bag or ample rodico on it when working on shock springs.

Well, I found the replacement part no.s in the Incabloc catalogue, and they show a 170.02 top, and a 175.02 bottom.  Cousins, though, lists them as 170.03 amd 172.03.  Sooo, Mfr number better?

The upper (dial side) spring should be 170.02 and the lower (movement side) should be 172.02.

Inca 170.02 is available on Cousins, I can't find 172.02 on there but 172.03 should be OK.

      First Project Already A Bit "Sideways"

      Depending on how much of the screw is left, you may be able to screw it further in and it may fall out of the hole that the dial foot sat in. To do this I rough up the tip of the good screw and screw it in, often the rough surface of the good screw and the rough surface on the broken screw get enough of a bite to transmit the torque into the broken section and force it out the other side. Like I said the size of the broken screw needs to be in your favor, but you never know you may get lucky.... or if you get it moving you may be able to then back it out with a screwdriver taking a bite on the rough surface. worth a try

      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.
