got a couple of slavas myself one is the 2414 date, the other looks similar but day/date.cannot see the number yet.the hairspring is going at a rate of knots! i also need a balance for the date movement? need a case or two but struggling to find unless a buy a complete watch which i dont really want to do,plus on the day/date mvt it needs a button to change the day.if i cant find one i may just give them a clean and lube and resell them.B

yes i worked it out just after i posted but i had trouble getting it to fit(it seemed a little to long) i then some how bent it and when i tried to pick it up it pinged away across the room so i will have to resort to obtaining a replacement.happy days!B -

anybody know where i can obtain blue or black hands for a waltham pocket watch 1.90 x 1.18 at a reasonable price.tried Cousins but they dont seem to have this size and although there seems to be plenty on E-bay they are mostly from the USA with ridiculous postage charges.thanks B.
-
Just ordered it. Will let you know how I get on. B
-
the male inner stem seems right but i will need a new female stem as the original is now a little short to fit this movement!they sure dont make it easy do they? thanks for your help.fingers crossed! B.
-
Further to this post I obtained a 955.412 which came with a normal stem. I tried the original stem but it didn't fit. Tried to look for split stem for this movement but have not had any luck. Any ideas? B.
