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

      This is a method that Jon uses, and has posted a video of performing it somewhere .

      Etachron regulation system

      By Mercurial · Posted

      Did you watch the whole video? Once Alex has set the stud, he first corrects the best error, then checks that the hairspring coils are breathing concentrically, then turns the stud to centre the hairspring between the open regulator pins.  He then checks that the regulator can traverse the terminal curve without disturbing the hairspring. A correction is needed, which he performs.  He then reinstalls the balance and re-centres the hairspring between the regulator pins, and verifies that the regulator traverses the terminal curve without disturbing the hairspring.  Finally, he demonstrates how to close the gap between pins.  He then recaps the whole process, fleshing out more detail. If you follow this process, you have correctly set up the regulator pins, and are ready to set the rate of the watch.  If you are interested in learning more about the effects of the regulator pin spacing on positional rates etc, you can read any literature regarding regulator pins. The etachron system makes adjusting beat, centering the hairspring between the regulator pins and adjusting the gap between the pins very convenient, but the same rules that apply to old style regulator pins apply to the etachron system.  This video explains the basics :    I hope that helps, Mark

      Some photos of the angles you are talking about, and the changes you are seeing to coil spacing etc. would be really useful. Part of your problem could be that you are closing the pins too far and pinching the hairspring. Adjusting the pin separation should not affect amplitude. Nor should it change the coil separation.

      Rolex cal. 3135 issues

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Did you try it on a Rolex ref. 16600 specifically? Congrats on the nice condition of the movement in your watch. Even so, remember to check the rotor play or those marks around the main plate may start to build up.

      Here is a method described in the watch repair book of Mark W. Wiles. Don‘t hammer, just tap very gently! Another option:
