Will do.i have had a quick look at the site and noticed a few queries along those lines so of the few different mvts i have i will find the most suitable for my dial then send them a request for their suggestions then go from there.thanks for your input. B

Very smart approach - always ask before buying.

Pick whatever you like... as long as it fits? Or, pick whatever you like, but be careful what you pick?

dead right although it would be helpful if distributors etc included info on dial size for what case for what mvt for what hands /stem and crown tap size and on and onnnnnnn. i recently purchased a stem for a Oris i was working on and decided i could do with a Oris crown. when i received it i found it was the wrong tap then i found they (C) DO not supply the crown to fit the stem so i was snookered so give up for now thats my moan for this week. over and out B.

happens all the time: different sites post different specs, supply wrong or out of tolerances parts, defective parts, etc, etc, etc. I now check parts visually without removing them from packaging (if possible) to make sure it's what i ordered and it's not faulty.

hi. i to have say i have been interested in various russian movements since i purchased some quite cheaply just to practice on. however i have become keener as i advance and am busy preparing a few for cleaning and servicing. i have noticed that i have identical mvts that have different factory markings! anyway i have this dial i would like to use but although i have plenty of mvts i have no cases. any ideas ? the dial is approx 34mm dia. thanks B

My guess is that this dial would fit a Raketa cal. 2609.

you are right i have just fitted it to a 2609.HA and the dial feet are bob on! now to get me a case and strap/bracelet etc. probably cheaper to buy a new watch! B?

@VWatchie, thank you so much for posting this detailed service walk-through. I stumbled across this by accident, and decided to take a closer look because I was curious how close the 2409 movement is to the 2414 I'm currently working on. Well, you already know the answer! Was I ever happy!

A story about my 2414: This is the second movement I've completely disassembled in my quest to learn about watchmaking. I pulled it apart a couple months ago, reassembled it for practice prior to cleaning, then disassembled and cleaned it. Had everything ready for final assembly and the first thing I did was break the mainspring. 😞 Fitting the mainspring to the barrel by hand went fine during my trial run, but somehow finger cots simultaneously reduced both my dexterity and IQ...

So, the watch has been apart for a while while I figured out what mainspring I needed and where to get one in Canada. Then it had to ship across the country. And I've sourced a mainspring winder. Then I got COVID (today's the first day I'm feeling mostly normal again). In the back of my mind, I've been wondering how good my memory will be when I finally sit down to put the movement together. I have some reference photos and notes, but nothing like what you have documented. What a gift!

Oh, and I've been looking all over for a 2414 tech sheet with lubrication info. Finding none, I was going to transpose from a Sellita tech sheet and do my best. Can't tell you how happy I was to see the lubrication info you included.

🙏 Thanks and respect to you. 👍

Thank you for your kind words @RickTock and glad my Vostok cal. 2409 walkthrough could be of help! 🙂👍

I somewhat recently serviced a Vostok 2431 and it uses the exact same type of calendar complication as the Vostok cal. 2414. You'll find my service walkthrough of it here.

Anyway, I'll include the assembly pictures for the calendar works in this post for your and any future Watch Repair Talker's convenience. The only difference is that the cal. 2414 doesn't have what I call the "1st intermediate date indicator wheel" so you can simply ignore that part. I include the picture where the "1st intermediate date indicator wheel" is assembled anyway since it shows lubricating the upper section of the cannon pinion.

Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult to source parts for Russian movements as Russian sellers have been banned on eBay.

Good luck with your reassembly!

Absolutely outstanding photos and details. Fills the gap in technical guides for this movement. 

One question if I may, you didn't apply any lubricant to the back of the sweep second tension spring. Could I put a drop of HP1300 there? The 2409 movement that I am servicing currently had a trace of dried up lubricant on the back of the spring and it doesn't look like it has ever been touched after the factory.

Thanks for your question and apologies for my late reply! You can absolutely apply a drop of oil to the back of the sweep second tension spring, but I would suggest Moebius 9010.

      Lathe motor advice

      By JseTay · Posted

      I sure appreciate your comment! I will look into one of those or maybe something similar. I of course will check your video to have a better idea.  by the way, that’s a beautiful lathe! Mine is a little peersless, but I just bought a Boley & Leinen that is on its way. That’s the one I am looking a motor for. It comes with a motor, but I want to replace it for  one that has a speed controller.

      Hello everyone my name is Tom and I and I am new to the forum and new to the hobby. I have always had an interest in mechanical watches and finally decided to pursue it. I’m going thru online trading and have purchased the basic tools to set up a work area. I’m really looking forward to learning and thank you in advance for all of your knowledge!

      Etachron regulation system

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      This conversation is becoming a very confusing. The etachron system is a very nice system for manufacturing watches. As you know it consists of two components the stud and the regulator pins. Beautiful thing of this system is you can open up your regulator pins center the hairspring and as you close the pins they will close equally on both sides providing you centered it in the first place. It's not like you're going to become closer to one side or the other as the definition of the regulator pins is a bit confusing it's not exactly a slot sort of. I'm thinking maybe a little eight reading will be helpful for you. Then the file name was changed by me at the US patent but the wording of Seiko may or may not actually be attached to it soared up? I just did that so I can find it in my files. Normally patents are in people's name if they work for a company the company name will be there you'll notice the person lives in Japan which is interesting as the name would imply that this is a Swiss product. Somewhere I think I have the patents for the stud and I believe that is Swiss like a lot of things their Japanese and Swiss and then the Japanese let the Swiss name stand as it seems you more popular in case as you read up on the patents of the regulator pins or pin will see and it should explain exactly how and why it works also why it's important to always close at an open in specific directions because the pins actually have a shaped to them it's very hard to see the shape as it's very tiny.   As a reminder with this system it's mass-produced. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they use cameras and computers to do all of the adjustments.  The meaning of this is that the majority of watches will function as there supposed to and do what they're supposed to do the system will allow us for some minor in tolerance and has more than likely as I said no human hand is ever touched those watches that's the way they left the factory and they work fine.
