Hello Everyone,

This is my first post but I'm a long time lurker here. I'm a hobbyist watch tinkerer like so many of us here. Over the weekend I was working on a Tanis watch with Unitas 6325 movement. I was careless/unlucky and I snapped the lower (dial side) incabloc spring.

Could someone please help me with some information on where could I source a replacement?

I went to cousinsuk.com but without pictures I couldn't figure out witch incabloc spring would be compatible with my movement is any. I found some unitas parts list but it seems that the lower shock setting was sold as a replacement as a complete unit. I don't want to buy a full watch for parts from ebay either. I hope this watch can be saved with the shock spring replaced as it is significant for me for sentimental reasons.

On the side note I pushed out the lower incabloc complete cylinder with my staking tool so I can replace the spring as the spring's pivot was concealed while the cylinder was in the mainplate.

Many thanks,

Flamingo

      How to store one dip

      By Waggy · Posted

      So I checked with my friendly local lab supplier and they can supply the following in 2.5 lt bottles: Tetrachloroethylene (B-Dip) - approx ￡65 Trichloroethylene (one-dip) - approx ￡43 n-Heptane 99% (Essence of Renata) - approx ￡35 Hexane - approx ￡45 I can't import or buy locally the 'real' products, hence the raw chemicals above. What do you think would be my best option? I'm edging towards Trichloroethylene - I know there are greater health risks, but given the very small quantities used for each treatment and 99.99% of the time it will be sealed in a jar, I think any risk is vanishingly small? This is mainly due to its assumed superior cleaning properties, or from the experience of this group, is the extra cleaning noticeable compared to its safer alternatives?

      Blew it with a coil

      Unfortunately after much investigation, apparently the coil has been discontinued! Shall I get my service guy to try the solder or the conductive paint? 🎨 Final recommendation please🙏

      Eta 2970-1 rotor mount stops watch

      By Dmitry · Posted

      Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA   Pics. Might have figured it out. I have been working on this watch for a while and since I got it as a non runner in a terrible shape, there was no guarantee that parts were proper. I think the main screw that was used on the rotor was too long, so it was stopping the main train. As soon as I fished out a much shorter and larger headed screw, things were good again. Please celebrate with me.

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.
