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.

You might try these guys:

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.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Chief · Posted

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      By JonC · Posted

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb
