Need to find a new balance cook and a new balance for a Eterna. Says 692 on the movement.Someone has glued the balance spring and the adjustment to the balance cook :( But can't find anything on Eterna 629? 

Why can't something be easy? 

Found this .that says Eterna 629. Unfortunately it's not available  anymore.

How many different balances can there be. If i could find a balance with the right height and a impuls that moves the pallet fork. Has the same frequency as the 692. Think it's 18000 . So the hairspring has the right length . Do you think i can get it to work? In don´t the owner mind if it doesn´t run in Cosc . But could at least go within a minute a day.

I found one but not sure it works yet.. As the stud that sit in the balance cook is 0,5 mm and i am not sure what the hole in the bridge is. i didn't have a drill . Put will take a look tomorrow. If the endskake is to large can i move  the upper or lower  jewel? The impulse jewel moved the  pallet fork so that looked okay. But you  never now ? Hairspring to long what do i do then? Would make it 18000 if it has been i an old ETA movement right?

    • Hi John, The most important parameter of the spring is the thickness. The lenght is something that one would not consider as obligatory, as relatively big variations will not affect anything in significant way. The barrel size is related to the barrel and has nothing to do with the spring. Yes, the spring is designed to work in a barrel and the size of the barrel matters, but let this parameter be chosen by the movement manyfacturer, not by the sping manyfacturer who doesn't have idea in what kind of movement the spring will work. Sometimes the washer in which the spring arrives will be bigger than the barrel and there will be no way to just push the spring in the barrel and be happy. Well, if this is a problem for somebody, then probably He is a person with to many problems that will be verry hard to help to in any way. By the way, why You are changing the spring? Is the old one broken?

    • As a beginner, I’ve found this forum invaluable. I doubt I would’ve persevered without its support. I’ve had the confidence to attempt things that seemed to me impossible only because I knew there were patient and giving folks gathered around this watering hole, available to share their skill.    I would very much like to know where to go if this one dries up and everyone needs to decamp.  There’s something special about the folks gathered in this group.  How to keep in touch?
