Part # for my Tudor

[konokono]

Hey,

I was servicing my Tudor Prince Oysterdate w/ ETA 2772 and i broke the spring that holds the jewel for the balance. Trying to find which would be the right replacement part.

Thanks

Ok I did the introduction. Thats a pretty interesting initiation into a forum

If you can post a photo, we can do a better job of identifying it. The standard "shock springs" on ETA movements are the from the Incabloc system. Rolex tend to use Kif, which are a different shape, and will not fit to Incabloc chatons. Surfing around a bit, this appears to be the case with the ETA 2772 in Tudor Prince Oysterdates.

Then, when we've seen your photo and identified the type, there are dufferent sizes, which requires some accurate micro-measuring on your part. I would be tempted to buy a selection of different sizes to be sure of getting the right one. Sooner or later they come in handy, if you stick with the hobby. Everyone breaks them or pings them into a far corner of the room from time to time.

Depending on where in the world you are, there are different sources, apart from the obvious universal one (eBay).

This is a photo of the same movement. The spring is towards the bottom. It looks like this one is missing the jewel

If you go to the Cousins UK website and search for KIF, then look at the list of pdfs on the right, you will find one called KIF Eta. On that list you can see the follwing information:

At the top of the page, the spring-types are illustrated. Yours is either a 3 or a 6. Looking down the list for calibres using type 3, the 2772 is not listed. It is under type 6 though.

Calibre 2772 / Ressort 6-2

KIF shock springs 6-2 are GBP10.45 for a pack of 5.

Awesome. I ordered the 6-2 thank you so much
