  1. dynamic stability,
  2. high resistance to shock,
  3. improved oil retention,
  4. wide interchangeability, making for easy service

The spring is easily removed by turning it gently with tweezers.

Reassembly

Set the spring gradually into a Diashock frame by fitting and turning its three hooks one by one into the notch of the frame.

After cleaning of applying Epilame treatment, cover the cap jewel and hole jewel with frame from the right above after oiling the cap jewel. Apply oil so that the quantity spreads over a maximum of one-half to a minimum of one-third of the hole jewel diameter, in the condition of setting the cap jewel, and hole jewel with frame.
