Attaching Balance Wheel Spring

[mlfloyd1]

Has anyone already posted on how to attach the balance wheel spring to the balance wheel cock?

 

Seiko 7S36 in particular.

 

Thanks.

This should help. It shows how to remove and fit hairspring. Same principle for a Seiko.

Thanks Melt. It was more than I wanted to see.

I was looking more for attaching the spring ends to the points from where the spring suspends from the cock.

Here is a video on how to remove a balance complete. You will know what you need to do to attach it to the cock.

There are a few different fittings but the principles are the same.

I purchased a new balance complete with cock for my 7S27A.

I came across an excellent free pdf by Nicolas Hacko called, “Seiko 7S26 for Novice Horologists”

He has you assembling and disassembling pieces like 20 times each until you master it.

Yep. I did that, going through that exercise was very much worth it.  With repetition, hat seemed impossible at first eventually became just difficult. :-)

Have you worked on the NH36?
I upgraded my SKX 007 and 009 so that they can now wind and hack.

I also upgraded the the crystal to flat sapphire.

The bands were replaced with a Miltat Super Jubilee on the 009, and a Super Oyster on the 007.
