Source for incabloc lyre spring to fit AS1686 movement


Recommended Posts

Last week I broke the lyre spring of the lower incabloc on an AS1686 movement. Could anyone please advise where I can buy a replacement in the U.K? If anyone has one for sale, please let me know. Thanks in advance Deggsy

I've tried cousins but they will not sell to me as I'm not a watch repair business. Short of telling a porky pie, I'm a little stuck.

A little lie  hasn't killed anyone? You don't have to prove that you are a watchmaker? Or are there new rules? 

If that is not possible i hope someone can help you in UK . I would. But as i am in Sweden it would take  long time if i order and send to you? 

What size/number of the lyre do you need. Have a few i think.

Thanks guys. What I have done is just setup my account via the cousins website. I was told when I phoned them that they only deal with repair businesses. As rogart63 says, a little lie doesn't hurt. Well if I am on world news next week for attempted fraud........[emoji3]

But I am slightly confused. My previous research led me to the part number being 173.03 for the lower resort. Can anyone please confirm. Thank you

I don't know anyplace in UK, but there is a place in Scottsdale,Arizona (US) that has an incabloc assortment for $5.  They have an 800 number (800) 552-1520 (I don't know how to call international) or their local number is (480) 483-3711.  The internet link is http://timesavers.com/i-21262938-incabloc-spring-assortment.html

Hope that helps.  If not, let me know and I'll keep trying.  I have an assortment, but at the moment, it is packed up and I don't know if I can get to it.  (I'm having a little house built behind my son, so I'm living out of boxes right now.)  If I find anything, I'll let you know.

Hi Shirley. You are so kind, but I think I have now got to the bottom of this. Firstly I've now opened a cousins account, something they said on the phone that I would not be able to do as I'm not a business. Secondly, I've been downloading the incabloc data sheet for AS. It should actually have been Standard. So I can now see that I need a 770.03 [emoji3]. I'm happy! Kind regards to all. Deggsy

This is a repeat post I think but there is no AS 1686 mentioned in my Incabloc catalogue but the range is as follows:

Upper spring 170.03  lower spring 173.03

If you can measure them they both have the width of 1.55 mm.

The upper spring length is 2.31mm

The lower spring length is 2.23mm

Hello clockboy. The movement is listed under incabloc Standard SA.

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
