Having a bit of bother with Incabloc jewel retention springs......... the last three watches I've serviced have been rendered non-runners as when I come to replace the jewel I manage to break the spring....

I    now have to source replacement springs of various sizes..... any ideas where?

Cousins seems the obvious choice. anywhere else?

I see your from my neck of the woods Kent.

I recommend Cousins, deliveries are really quick and prices reasonable. The other source is Ebay if you have time. I have picked up lots of watch & clock spares here.

That's great, I had looked at cousins and saw all the springs, but they only gave the Incabloc part No, not the calibre. What I have now found is the Incabloc site and drilled it down to the parts catalogue. Click on the link below, then on the "Spare Parts Catalogue", (bottom right corner), the main makers are there and pdf docs with all the calibres are shown.

Sorted the ones I need and ordered from Cousins........ Sorted

      Absolutely! I started cleaning a dial today and did not realise when the sun set. This hobby is satisfying AF.

      Looking for advice on removing the glass and bezel

      I'll have a look for it, but don't hold your breathe. Failing that I'll make another video when another bezel needs to be removed.

      404 Club Reboot

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      The UK lots can be a 404 hit or miss, 6 - 10 watches can come in anywhere from 20 - 50 quid. I once had a 404 division of 8 watches for a fraction over 30 quid, one of them was a Smiths Astral model National 17 an absolute certainty for winner contender. The crystal was scrached up to the point of being very difficult to see the brand, something triggered a gut feeling in me and it paid off.

      Need some crystal replacement advice

      By VWatchie · Posted

      I just picked up this Mondaine quartz watch on tradera.com for £11. It's a non-runner so I will replace the Ronda movement (£10.95 at Cousins), polish the case, replace the case-back gasket, and replace the mineral crystal. Now, the problem is finding a suitable crystal. The original crystal is slightly domed (2.4mm thick dome), measures 36.4mm in diameter, and is 1.3mm thick at the edge. The closest I can get on CousinsUK is 36.5mm in diameter, 3.1mm thick dome, and 1.5mm thick at the edge. I think the replacement crystal would look OK, but the problem is finding a suitable glass gasket. The case diameter for the glass gasket is 36.9mm and the closest glass gasket I can find on CousinsUK is either 36.8x36.0mm or 37.0x36.2mm. I guess one of those glass gaskets could work but as you can see there's no way the 36.5mm domed crystal would fit the inner diameters of those glass gaskets. I guess I will have to give up on a domed crystal, no? So, the backup plan is to use a (1.5mm) thick flat mineral crystal as the diameters come in increments of 0.1mm. But, what glass gasket would be the better option? The one with an outer diameter of 36.8 (0.1mm too small) or the one with an outer diameter of 37.0mm (0.1mm too large). Again the case diameter for the glass gasket is 36.9mm. I believe I read or heard that the crystal diameter should be 0.1mm wider than the inner diameter of the glass gasket. Is that correct? I'm sorry for all the numbers. I've tried to make it as clear as I could. So, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. BTW, measuring and sourcing crystals and gaskets is extremely time-consuming! 😓
