I am currently I'm the process of servicing a Tissot 784. The incabloc in the main plate for the balance was broken and subsequently led the previous owner to super glue the jewel in place. I thought I found a replacement balance jewel assembly with incabloc but when it arrived it seemed much too large. I measure it with calipers and the largest diameter is 2.15mm. I compared it with the one that I removed and that one only measured 1.9mm at it's largest diameter. I have attached a photo of the part I ordered. Any ideas on where I went wrong? Multiple ebay vendors have this part listed for multiple movements.

Hi  I have attached three sheets in order for you to cross reference the number, a quick look indicates the number on the packet is correct but obviously does not fit. The fact that the old one was broken was this due to wear of hamfisted fitting by the previous attempt at repair, the cock you have may also not be origional.  a pocture of the movement front and back may help. Also have a look at the Ranfft web site for a comparison and further information.      cheers

That’s the lower setting. The upper would be on the balance cock. I’ll go look for some pics of a recent service I did on one of these in the morning. Maybe it’ll help giving a little more detail

Do you know where I can buy this setting? I just need to replace either the shock spring or the entire setting with shock spring.

Not sure where you’d get the shock setting loose to be honest. I was lucky and got an escape wheel for that watch at Cousins, but because it’s a Swiss watch parts are generally a pain. Grsnovi’s suggestion might be a good one.

Is the whole setting damaged or is the spring just missing?

My experience is the Incabloc on these Tissot seem to be a bit weaker that on others as I have personally encoutered around 4 or 5 of the Inca springs. I dont have any issues with Inca on other brands.

You can actually buy the springs itself instead of the whole setting.

Since you know the make/model and jewel setting diameter, they seem to have quite a selection. They've been pretty good answering my questions but I've never gone to them looking for such a specific part.

Looks like shock spring 270.03 is a listed application for the tissot 784. Thanks for the tip! As far as the glue in the incabloc seat i will just have to be thorough in my cleaning and verify under the microscope.

No help but maybe reassuring: had a fairly recent (20yo) Patek manual wind in a few months back with some oddball hole a cap setting superglued in as the Kif spring was broken. Guess they lost the original jewels too. Friend has a box full of envelopes of Kif material so managed to get it right.

 

Crazy thing is it ran. Very, very poorly,  but ran. That's why my client bought it, "ok it just needs a service!"- and a soak in acetone, haha.

So my parts came in and I pressed in the new setting and now I have a running watch. Thanks for the lead on this.

      Rado rotor removal

      By doober · Posted

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂

      Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.

      Hi! I am in the process of restoring a rado captain cook mkII. I want to remove the rotor, but I am not sure how to and need some help. As you can hopefully see on the photo there are 2 screws. The left one has two positions, the right one looks like a regular screw. I have tried turning the right one, but it does not give even after using more force than I would expect. Anyone know the function of the left screw with the two positions and how to remove the rotor? Thanks!!

      Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy
