If anyone recognizes this part, then you understand the nightmare which is the Slava 2414. The date detent lever and spring are first installed to the underside of the date cover plate, then the plate is flipped over and screwed down to the mainplate. Sounds simple enough, right. But the slightest shake or bump could launch the lever and spring into orbit. I've watched several videos on YouTube and it looks like it's the only way to do it. You can't screw in the cover plate halfway and slip the spring in, like some of the early Seikos. I've done several using this method and have never enjoyed the experience. Then it hit me.... Why don't I just glue the blasted spring to the plate. So I used a hard setting UV glue and glued the short tail of the spring to the plate. And viola! Problem solved. -
Yes, Timex was a global company right from the start. France, England, Scotland, Portugal, Germany and Switzerland were locations for parts and assembly in Europe over the decades. -

Cousins don't seem to sell them, try Gleaves and Co , the website is rubbish but apparently they are really helpful if you ring them. I don't know if they are freely available over here as they seem to be an American thing. -

Thanks. They don't seem to have those dimensions and shipping to UK is prohibitive.
