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?

    • The Boro has changed quite a lot over the last 20 years, and not for the better. I actually moved out of the town 15 years ago to a small village not far away. Thanks for the pdf! Looks a great read. I'll get it printed today and put it on my work bench!
    • Not having all the fancy equipment, this is a way I came up with. I never said it was the best, the most ideal or the safest way. Working on balances is always a delicate task whereby full concentration & common sense should prevail. I was well aware of the "dangers" / short comings involved, hence my "warnings", as quoted above. The balance wheel of the Omega was nice true, flat and one could clearly see how much gap there was left before the grinding wheel would touch the balance wheel. My idea of penning this article was to show/share a way which, in my case, perfectly succeeded. If deemed to risky, or if the balance wheel is not true or has a wobble, other methods have to be followed.
    • I loved his explanation of a teardown 😅 Ex military Richard Perrett, pretty knowledgeable guy.
    • I also see a bit of danger for the wheel, at least you have to keep away from it and may get a too thick rest ring. My rest rings are about 0.05 mm. Better way would be a grinding wheel touching the staff with its circumference. Frank
    • Not easy to find this one everywhere,  so it depends where you are located. Joining it back together might be possible, i have silver soldered mild steel before even with traditional plumbers lead and its a pretty strong joint, but bere in mind this is only 1mm diameter.  The join would need to be very accurate,  it not something i have heard of anyone trying before. The part no 401 is the swiss code number and relates to watch winding stems in general
