Omega 563

[steaksauce]

Working on an Omega 563 movement, and one of the Incabloc springs yelled "FREEDOM" and disappeared into the ether.  I believe I found factory replacements, but they appear to be a *hair*  too large.  Am I correct in my assumption that the balance cock side is the 'lower'?  Also, they seem to be Mfr only, and restricted.  Is there a way to order the spring by size?  Pretty sure i opened a horrible can of worms, although i did find the cap jewel on my desk, so there is that going for me!  Thanks in advance!

Well, I found the replacement part no.s in the Incabloc catalogue, and they show a 170.02 top, and a 175.02 bottom.  Cousins, though, lists them as 170.03 amd 172.03.  Sooo, Mfr number better?

Use a clear bag or ample rodico on it when working on shock springs.

Yeah, for sure.  Much appreciated advice.  You have any insight on my part number dilemma?

The upper (dial side) spring should be 170.02 and the lower (movement side) should be 172.02.

Inca 170.02 is available on Cousins, I can't find 172.02 on there but 172.03 should be OK.
